2010/02/09, 06:57 AM If i'm training a muscle group 2 times a week on a 4 day split should it be the same exercise or a different one example Monday: squats Thursday: squats or Monday: squats Thursday: deadlifts next week same thing One of my main problems is whether i should train squats and deadlifts in the same day? Is it too much do both in the same day? and of course the other question is what i mentioned above and it applies to less complex systems as well example monday: lat pull down behind the neck Thursday: close grip lat pull down next week same pair vs monday: lat pull down thursday: lat pulldown one more example mon: bench press thurs. dips next week same thing vs mon dumbbell bench thurs. dumbbell bench right now i'm doing the mixed up sets and i'm just wondering if i should focus one movement for 4-6 weeks like bench press and then after 4- 6 weeks switch to focusing on dips or another kind of press like with dumbbells press etc. same goes with any muscle should one movement be the focus for a while and then be switch. Or does the variety help or just confuse and over complicate? and can someone do heavy deadlifts and squats in the same day! this one is important. I really think i want to do this but i worry with these two since they are such big and critical lifts! as you can see i'm pretty confused! and in need of help
