Let The Dog Drive The Bus

Mate that is awesome work. I am feeling a big squat coming up soon. How do you find squat and deadlift in the same session ??

OK at the time and shortens warm up times but I’m not really pushing dl at the moment. Feel pretty beat afterwards.

Yer I deff wouldn’t be pushing it after a squat PR. Do you do them together because that’s the program or it’s just where you can fit them in?

I’m not following a programme, I’ve just been doing ppl, having restdays when I feel I need them, and trying to ā€œbeat the log bookā€ on core lifts. I do Squat and dl on the same day as I feel they take the most to recover from, so doing them together means more recovery time. I may be completely wrong about this but they’re both going up so I’ll stick with it for now!

Mate at the end of they day if it’s working then keep doing it. In terms of work vs recovery. I tend to look at it based on the work I do in a week rather than one session. For me if I did deadlift after heavy squat it would effect my deadlift. But training fatigued is not a bad thing as long it doesn’t cause an injury. You are going great now so keep at it mate.

Yeah, what he said

And it is clearly working. Your lower body shit is getting annoyingly good.

I’m just going to try and maintain Lower body now, just make sure I can comfortably hit 4 and 5 plates. Time to focus on the 2 plate press!
Got a free coaching session from the trainer I know Saturday, so will be getting some pointers.

Good session with the trainer. Went over some differences between military and strict press, hand positioning for power vs hypertrophy and had a quick look at push pressing. Shoulders are fried now.
Off to gym for some legs training after a bit of food.
