Squatting & Deadlifting twice a week

[ironchick22]

I know everyone will say this is overtraining, but I am making gains and feel great. I was just curious, how many others squat and do deads twice a week, and if you have experienced similar gains? Do you think it will eventually catch up with me... cuz right now I feel great!

Here's my routine:
mon- quads (squats, extensions, lunges, hacks, leg press) /light bi's
tues- chest/light tris
Wed- back (including atleast 5 sets deads)/ hams/ calves
thurs- shoulders/ heavy bis and tris
fri- quads (same as mon) supersetted with chest (lighter than tues)
Sat- back (including atleast 5 sets deads)/ hams/ calves
Sun- sit on my ass all day and rest

I do light cardio 3-4 days a week after my workouts- no more than 20-30 min, usually low intensity jogging or stairmaster.
I'm currently taking anabolic pump,Ebol, BCAA's (xtend), vasoxplode (pre-workout), body octane (during w/ my xtend), MHP leukidrol SR, lots of protein, complex carbs, EFAs, and veggies.

So as long as I keep up the nutrition, do you think my training is ok? Thanks for any opinions! By the way, I'M Female, on a lean mass bulk!

if you can recover from this and your legs and lower back can take that, it would be a miracle. It's almost impossible to do the 2 together week after week heavy heavy w/o being put in a place where some injury could occur!


If i go a heavy week

I would do
mon-heavy legs(squats)
wed-Heavy chest
fri-heavy back/shoulders(deads)

next week I will work and do a lighter week where I work time under tension and very deliberate movements!

4 days split-using negatives(4-6 sec), slow positives, supersets, drop sets, 100 reps
chest/tris
legs/calves
off
shoulders/traps
back/bis

next week after that 5 days split-one big move (squats, partial deads, and bench press)then trisets of 15-20 reps for 4 cycles
chest
back
shoulders
legs
arms


then repeat

what about just doing one of them twice a week, is that ok? For instance, deadlift.

everything works short term and we feel great really pushing it......dont run it dead into the ground though. push hard, then back off

maybe try something like this:

week 1 - squats and deads 2x per week as described

week 2 - squats and deads 1x per week

week 3 - squats and deads 2x per week

week 4 - light squats only, no deads (recovery/supercompensation week)

repeat

by the way, if you tested on week "5" youd probably set PR's
