Deads & Squats on the same day?

[Agent Zero]

For whatever reason I do deadlifts and squats on the same day. It is basically a leg day, but I have my back workouts mixed in with two days. I do deadlifts and hyperextensions on leg day, but I do rows and something for the upper back such as lat pulldowns on my biceps day. My entire routine is like this:

Day 1: Chest + Tris
Day 2: Back + Biceps
Day 3: Legs + Back
Day 4: Shoulders + Traps

I throw abs in randomly when I have extra energy. Right now I only work out 3x per week (fricking gym is closed on weekends in the summer) so I only hit 3 of those days per week.

Should I switch this up a little bit?

squats and deads can be done the same day if the volume is regulated.

why have you got a back/bicep day and a leg/back day? put shoulders with legs, keep back on back/bicep day and you're fine for a 3day a week routine.

you can do squats and dead on the same day, theres a routine called rippetoes where you have to squat 3 times a week and deadlift once or twice depending on the week

For the first year of my training, I was able to do that comfortably.

As my dl & squat pounds have increased, I've found it a bit uncomfortable to keep those 2 on the same day. Maybe at this point in my life, I just don't have it in me.

Once you reach a certain weight range, you'll probably want to be splitting those up. Your body will tell you, listen to it carefully!
