still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14379 posts | Hi mate. i'd swap TUE & THU workouts around completely. Squatting 2 days on the bounce may be counterproductive especially 2 days before event training on Sunday. I'm assuming your weekends will entail at least one night out? (Fri/ Sat???) You need your legs for a night out | ||

Go ! go ! team strengthshop !!! Member 18, 5295 posts SQ 185, BP 130, DL 230545.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | I'd so the squats different days like, probably just switch fronties with the rows? Can do fronts and still have a lot to give on deadlift, but if you do fronts then back squats, you won't have so much left to put into the backs. | ||
