You ME on both squats and deads in the same week?

[Swift]

Yes ido.You do you say that?

[Rodja]

Yes ido.You do you say that?

I ask because it is very odd. Most PL'ers don't pull every month much less have an ME on squat and deads in the same week.

[Swift]

This is why I wanted to do this. I figured since my pulls were at such a low lvl at this pointit wouldn't hurt.Only pulling once a month doesn seem like its enough?explain that plz

[Swift]

And another thing does anybody have any suggestions on assistance work for my squat and deadlift day because right now I dont have excess to reverse hyper or flute ham, but I dont want that to hinder my strength gains hopefully when I finish college I can buy one

Good mornings, low box squats, hypers, deficit deads, etc.

Here's a way to rig a GHR with a BOSU:


Also, there it is excessive to go for a full 1RM on both of them in the same week. You'll burn out your CNS very quickly that way.

what are your maxes on on the big 3

what are your maxes on on the big 3

425/315/495

[Swift]

So your saying if I me on squats dont me on deadlifts or if i me on goodmornings dont me on squat or deadlifts?

[Rodja]

If you're following a conjugate periodization aka Westside template, then you should only have 1 movement that you ME on upper and lower per week. Also, this ME movement should change every 1-3 weeks depending on your level of mastery on the lift.

[Swift]

Learn something new everyday.I always thought you did Me and De on all 3 lifts weekly just different variation of them.Another question you when they use goodmornings 70 % of your lower body workouts is that meaning for Me or for Me and assistance.

ME. I see you read the Dave Tate piece over at T-Nation.

Just for informative purposes, my ME rotation is:
Upper-Floor Press, 2-Board Press, Bench Press
Lower-Low Box Squats, Squats, GM, Deads

[Swift]

Well
with this info you told it will definitely make my workouts easier lol it was hard me. on deadlift every week.

the ability to identify and target your weak link in the movement is the best thing you can do to improve your squat, deadlift or any other movement for that matter. The saying, "your only as strong as your weakest link" is said for a reason.

That said, there are tons you can do WRT assistance work. For example for the deadlift: standing on something to raise you up while deadlifting will extend your range of motion and can lead to strength gains. As well as: back-extensions, rack pulls, GHR, good mornings, developing your grip strength (often overlooked IMO and farmer walks are an easy fun way to work them), front squats, KB swings (again you can extend your ROM by standing on something when you do swings), single leg deadlifts with DBs, eccentric deadlift, Romanian deadlift, suitcase style deadlifts, squats ,etc.. there are lots of choices here, Hell even lat work can help your deadlift. Assistance work to help improve your squat could be: Full squat, box squat, hip thrust, glute bridge, unilateral leg work, bottom 3-sec pause squat, rack squats, good mornings, speed squats with chains or bands, GHR, reverse hypers, using a stance that you don’t normally use (if you squat narrow, then squat wide or if wide then squat narrow), goblet squats, ab-wheel rollout and other abdominal movements that teaches you to brace your core, etc.

Do as much pulling as you do pushing for your upper body. Upper back strength is very important for a strong bench. Make hamstring work a priority for squat/deadlift. You should only have 4 workouts a week on WSC. ME Bench, ME Squat/Dead, DE Bench, DE Squat/Dead. The muscles that train the squat also train the deadlift. So if your squat goes up, and the assistence that goes with it, your deadlift will too. I suggest you do some more reading.

I read 5-6 hours a week its just so much to take in .
