How often?

[edgar15]

Just curious, how often do you guys do dl's and sq's? Both ew? Sq one week, dl the next?

 

[doodoop]

I squat every week and don't do deads.

 

[Method]

Twice a week, due to time consuming process.

 

[kurt2r2]

Squats once a week like every other muscle. Deads every 2 weeks

 

[hj11jason]

right now I am doing a dead or dead variation and squatting both once a week.

 

[Mark222]

I do squats daily but don't do dead lifts. Although I did dead lifts but not regularly only 2-3 time a month. I had a problem of bulky thighs and hips and that's why I did regular squats and jogging along with it. Now I have reduced my thigh size to normal.

 

[needaas]

speed squats and speed pulls are done every week.

 

[alfred]

Usually once a week works well for me too.

 

[ASHOP]

Usually once a week works well for me too.

Too much can lead to overtraining fast. Once..to twice per week at very most.

 

[highrich]

Beginners should definitely squat every week and dead every other week.

Both every week here.

 

[Collinb]

Both twice a week for me.

Both every week for me. I'm doing a 5/3/1 FST-7 hybrid right now, but I do them both every week regardless. It's just that I may do some variation when I'm not doing a strength program.

I do each once a week. Tried dl every other week but weights dropped substantially so i switched back to once a week.

Once a week for each is plenty. Each work LARGE amounts of muscle to the max. Also your CNS gets taxed. People tend to forget this. Max lifts require max nerve engagement. Your body needs time to rebuild. Put each one as far apart schedule-wise as you can. Don't deadlift heavy one day and come back the next day or two for heavy squats and expect to be optimal.

Squats are the first exercise on leg day and deads are tbe first exercise on back day always.....no exceptions. These two exercises use more muscles than any others, they're the best.
