What day do you guys do your deadlifts on? I usually do them on my leg day.. Is it better to hit them with the legs or back?
My routine goes like this..
Monday: shoulders/traps
tuesday: legs/calves, abs

thursday: off
friday: bis/tris,abs
saturday: off or cardio
sunday: off

i have always gone with back, cause if i did them with legs, i would have to do squats and deads in the same day and that would = death for me

Congrats! You are the 1,000,000th person to ask this...

Training regularly but no progress?
You need one or more of these: more food, more weight, more reps or more rest.

Right now, I do them every other week on back day.
I did them with legs for many years.Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

I do them on back day. I done a program where I did them on leg day and it just took to much out of me. Squatted first and then did not have enough leg power to hit the deadlift with the power I wanted. I would get sloppy with the form, to much back and rounding of the back.Originally Posted by The_Animal_79

deadlift day...seriously. Try two leg nights per week. One night work on hamstrings, glutes and lower back (deadlifts, leg curls. SLDL, good mornings, step-ups, reverse dumbell lunges, etc..) On the other leg night you can work quads and calves.
I've done this split:
1 chest, triceps
2 hamstrings, low back, core (deadlifts)
3 off
4 shoulders, traps, forearms
5 quads, calves, core
6 back, biceps
7 off
Currently doing this one:
1 chest, back
2 hamstrings, low back, core (deadlifts)
3 off
4 biceps, triceps, forearms
5 quads, calves, core
6 shoulders, traps
7 off

Just rename 'leg day' 'lower body day' and count lower back with it. Then you don't have to worry about this anymore and you can get back to lifting.

I like to do them on back day. But I always have at least one day between squats and deads on my schedule

or you could always do squats one week and deadlifts the other.

Rack deads ftw
Do these, a close and wide grip pull, plus a close and wide grip row and you'll be set for life.

I like your routine. The only thing I would say is you should do the deads a couple days after doing legs. The lower back is fatigued already from the squats and you want to get a great deadlift in fresh when you can. I would makybe take Wednesday off if poss and move the chest/back to Thursday with deadlifts in it. I like otherwise. Do some cardio on Saturday and then Sunday off again.

I always wanted to know the answer to this. But I do them on leg day. The reason being is my lower back can take punishment twice a week but my legs can't.
