squatting and deadlifting on the same day??

[teddybear]

so the place i go...for the ME lower body exercise, we ALWAYS do either a GM or Deadlift variation...we NEVER do box squats for max effort...we only do those for dynamic effort...

so i was thinking about doing an ME box squat before the ME deadlift or GM...is that a good idea?? or is it over-training??

the workout would look like this...

ME Box Squat (work up to a 2-5 rep max, depending on the week)
ME GM or Deadlift variation (work up to the 2-5 RM, dep on week)
Reverse Hypers (3 x 10)
Weighted Abdominal Variation (3 x 15)
4 x 30 yard forward sled drags
4 x 30 yard backward sled drags

It shouldn't be a problem. A lot of people train squat and deadlift in the same session, as they work a lot of the same muscles.

I typically do not train them on the same day. At one point I was squatting twice a week and deadlifting twice a week on different days and had great success. Here is an example:

Monday:
Squat, no accommodative resistence
Bench, lockout emphasis
GM's

Tuesday:
Bench, straight weight
Dead variation
Bench, bands and boards

Thursday:
Squat with accommodative resistence
bench with chains
SSB squat variations

Friday:
paused bench
dead variation
bench with bands, no boards.

worked better than anything else I ever tried. I recovered fine. It's all in how you control your volume and intensity.
