This question is for the people who specialize in pure strength training. Not that I haven’t used or will not continue to use body building training methods for a change up.
Here is the question - how should squats and deadlifts frequencies be handled for someone not using gear and with average recovery?
Do I work squats twice a week like Simmons and his crew does? One day dynamic the other maximum effort? If so, when do deadlifts get worked in?
Do I work them on seperate days, one day squats the other day deadlifts?
It depends largely on your on recovery ability. If your doing a westside style program, remember that they don’t directly work the DL that often. I would recommend (if you can handle the double squat day/week) that every other week you substitute the DL for the dynamic lift day.
Mark, I use the 2 day/ week routine, one dynamic the other maximal, for squats. I work deadlifts on a totally seperate day maybe once/week. The Westside D-lifters do not work the deadlift all that often, if at all, other than meets. I find that if I do not deadlift at least once every 10 days I lose strength. That’s me though. Everyone is different.
