All pros deadlift

[Flexasian]

I understand this question has been brought up many times about changing the stiff legged dead lift into the normal dead lift but I really don't want to give up doing normal dead lifts as it is a great exercise for mass

So my question, Is there a way around it? A way of splitting it?

[Flexasian]

Actually, I was thinking I could do the first workout of the week with squats and no deadlifts, then the second workout without squats and with deadlifts. So I keep alternating. Is that a good idea?

This is a mass oriented routine - the squats and SLDLs are to build your legs. If your goals are to improve your lifts, you should be doing something like SS or stronglifts.

Allpro states that the reason its a SLDL is 1) To target your legs more and 2) Due to already squatting 3 times a week your CNS is pretty fried already, doing conventional deadlifts AND squats 3 times per week (Ontop of bench and OHP) would totally frazzle your CNS as they are both very demanding exercises.

I always thought SLDL puts more strain on the lower back because you don't lift as much with your legs.

You should be feeling it primarily in your hamstrings. It's obvious though your going to get some lower back stimulation as well.

i deadlift conventional one day.
a few days later i squat and use the stiff legged deadlift as an accessory movement.
its not a main lift by any means. its good for your back though.
but good mornings and reverse hypers work way better.
