hey guys I was wondering do you think it would be over kill to preform the snatch grip deadlift on leg day and regular deadlifts the same week later in the week when using a low volume approach?
Dont push both exercises to the absolute max and you should be fine. I have done both in one week before and it was ok. Just make sure you are eating enough.
Pretty sure this is one of those questions where it comes down to your body and how it recovers. Personally, I would never recover from a DL session fast enough to do it twice, but I’m still pretty much a novice. It might help just to gauge how you feel, etc. Also, if you feel considerably weaker than normal during the second session you are most likely not recovering.
I deadlift twice a week and squat once when I’m in any low volume type of training and recover fine. Granted I eat a ton and am young so recovery might be easier for somebody in my case.
If you are giving your body enough time for it to recover between your training sessions you will be fine.
I personally think people are too timid with “over training” it’s a lot harder than people think to over train. You will know if you are overtraining because you will always be sore, feel like crap, and not want to lift.
Have at it and good luck. lol

I do heavy rack pulls on monday which is my back day and do heavy deadlift singles from the floor on friday which is my hip-dominant leg day and it seems to be working just fine. I don’t feel like its too much. I’m more worried bout my lower back recovery from rack pulls monday, squats wednesday, and deadlifts friday. lol
