Super skinny breh starts off on squats with 315 with a knee brace on….This is going to be either :ohhh: or:damn:


Two second edit: I forgot :mjlol: wasn’t even a quarter squat lmaoo

Weak creh with the weak belt game was quarter-squatting 275 next to me, his whole body shaking like Pookie going through withdrawals. :mjlol:

He bumps down to 265 and promptly sits it down. :mjgrin:

True, but I’m running a specific plan at the moment so I’m not gonna modify it word to @Son Goku :hubie:

If I was doing legs 3x a week I’d probably do another day for front squats, but right now I’m sticking to the plan.

EDIT: I can actually do Squats 2x a week per the plan, but I like my DLs too much :wow:
I squat and deadlift the same day. Squatting makes deadlifts easier. I would just suggest either doing an accessory lift in between or chill out for like 5-10 minutes before starting deadlifts after squats, due to how taxing squats can be.

Man last Saturday this cat got so lucky I did legs not even 24 hours ago. Otherwise I would have embarrassed this dude.


He had all type of leg padding on. My guess is he was a skinny fat dude around 5’9 160lbs, if I had to guess.

But he had the nerve to load the squat rack up with 4 plates. In disbelief this mofo barely goes down 10%,yet tries to flex like he was doing something. I would have respected it if dude did calf raises instead.


Like I said, it took everything in me to not just load up the rack and squat the correct way right next to dude. Either do it correctly or take your ass to the leg press / smith machine like everyone else.

The unmitigated gall. The irony. :skip: :what: :pachaha:

I did squats and deadlifts on the same day in the past. The next day afterwards I’d be straight exhausted. And most deff squatting makes DLs easier. I’m just trying not to snap anything or wear myself out. Plenty of ways to reconfigure my plan moving forward.

I definitely have to shift around low carb days in my meal plan....... had a low carb day yesterday, went to the gym today to do 2nd leg sesh of the week, nikka was gassed even before i stepped into the spot...:dead:........couldn't even finish the full sesh.... got the big lifts in tho... . front squats, stiff leg deads. Did leg extensions and cause I was feeling guilty of not doing at least 4 exercises, did the tibialis machine...:mjgrin:.... .proper carbs the day before legs every time from here on out... .

  • A Squat ===> a Press ===> a Deadlift variation
  • Squat + RDL (or oppo stance deadlift) day and then a Front Squat + Deadlift day
  • Separate days with no more than 2 rest/other days in between
  • A Squat + Rack/Block/Deficit Pull day ===> A Deadlift + Hack Squat day

Have to ask yourself what is your goal in doing deadlifts and how does your programming support that.
