On your DL why are you 1x1 and are you making a mistake to DL and squat heavy on the same day?
Thanks in advance!
Most TM programs have heavy squat and DL on same day so it shouldnt be a problem. Good mornings are used to help the deadlift since it is less stressfull than deads. I asked the guy who gave me the program the same thing about the 1x1 dead and this is what he said
"That's all I did and I went from 515 to 565. I suppose you could do more singles if you thought you needed them.
At that point in the training program the goodmornings were leaving me so sore in my back and hamstrings that I didn't feel I needed alot of deadlift volume. The squats and goodmornings were really responsible for driving up my deadlift. I just wanted to expose my body to the heavier weight of the deads. I didn't feel that I needed more than one top single to accomplish this. "
Im about that strong in deadlift and ive been stuck for a while so i might as well try. His squat was like 525 when he did this program so maybe thats why his squat helped his deadlift more than mine will but im not sure.
