FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Got a question about dead lifts

Now I searched and you prefer tout them as a back thickness exercise
Some points for me
If I were to do deads on an upper loading day, most subsequent work would be subpart
Floor pulls, I feel it all in my posterior and erector... yet very little quads, which I do know they will still stimulate indirectly

I'm coming from a five day full body split, during which I would put legs in the middle of my workout, before arms/deltas, and after chest/back
This worked rather well

If I put it with lower loading, would you suggest making it the primary movement since it is a compound or make it the secondary,
I have two sets of ham loading, since my quads are already well developed
So as the secondary it would only be two sets not as CNS intensive compared to the primary which is three

In my rotation I have
Leg press primary
Then deads secondary

If numbers would help I have a 600 pull and am doing sets of 10 with 5plates @200lbs
Ive yet to hit this week but my overthinking is getting to me and best to ask for a suggestion

Cheers

Hey Bud,

Your post is all over the place - I don't really little idea what your'e getting at.

I'm coming from a five day full body split

You were training full body 5 x / week?...

I can't tell if you're trying to make deads a lower body exercise or not: You say Deads don't hit your legs personally but then are making deads a "secondary" exercise after leg presses.

This sounds like your'e doing some system other than FT (or are wanting to rearrange FT and do some things that run counter to how I've set FT up).

I think the solution here is to greatly simply your issue: What is your concern in it's simplest form?...
