does anyone here do squats and deadlifts on the same day? i've always done legs then wait at least two days and do deadlifts with back day. can someone explain why or why not to do them on the same day. thanks
Depends how hard you go I suppose. I usually did ( in a 5 day program) day 1 back, day 2 chest, day 3 legs/forearms, day 4 shoulders, day 5 arms. So at least there is that break in between the deads / squats. After leg day they are usually sore for a few days after so id pencil in deads before the squats.

really depends on your programming
but id say alternate heavy and light, so go heavy on squat light/speed on deadlift, then switch etc
wow its been a good 1yr + since i posted on here probably lol Anyways been back at the gym now coming up to a month i think? def lost A TON of strength. I jus twanted to get healthy again so ye lol i got a quick question regarding squats. I cant do normal squats very well so i put a bench behind me to kinda sit on it when i go down. Do i have to sit on it, or is the proper way to hover just above it and then go back up. What i been doing is sitting down and then basically going straight back up. But without using the force of a bounce from the bench to help. Just doing my best to go down, sit, then use my legs to go straight back up

lol shit man it's been awhile. u still at goodlife?
anyway, i think box squats become a crutch in a way that it prevents any sort of core activation in the hole which is exactly what you want and to perform a complex movement like the squat without any sort of core activation would be risky. it's meant for seasoned lifters that have trained for at least a year or so and are able to squat with good core activation, to allow them to improve explosiveness out of the hole
I tell people to start of with exercises like wall sits, leg press, maybe lunges, etc. exercises that don't require too much core strength, but still allow you to train your lower body.
There are no principles, there are only events. There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances. The superior espouses events and circumstances in order to guide them.
thanks to cunninglinguist i was able to fix my low bar rack position. now my wrists dont feel like theyre gonna explode, this workout was easy peasy felt like 225 the whole workout

Guy in a white nike singlet and shorts benched 315 for plenty of reps like it was nothing. Ignored a request from a guy who offered to spot. Then proceeded to do tricep dips with a 120lb db on a belt. Yes I was mirin and so was most of the gym. Alpha as fuark

What are your guys' recommendations for wrist straps/gloves?
I'm having a hard time doing heavy deadlifts and presses due to eczema on my palms. Cuts, peeled skin, sores..etc.. Don't worry I always wipe down equipment after use.
