FT Questions....

And no I'm actually following the routine to a T other than this one "issue"
I'm rather happy with myself that my add hasn't kicked in

I ran it in the past, actually bought the book when it came out, and over time used various principles.... figured id just KISS ATM since I have other things going on

Well, if deadlifts are a thigh exercise for you, then I'd used them as such. I think it's as simple as that.

You'd still choose other exercises according to the principles of the program, of course. E.g., deads target your glutes and hams more so, you'd balance that in your choice of exercises for Pump Sets and MRs, or perhaps even pre-fatigue quads for your landing sets with an isolation exercise for the quads done BEFORE you do deads.

If you do get some back thickness work out of the deads then this might mean that you focus on back width during your back pump sets and/or MR's, too.
