Member 1585, 134 posts SQ 0, BP 100, DL 0100.0 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq | People often tell me to do a lot of squats to increase my strength. I mainly train at home now and as i dont have rack the biggest squats i can do are what i can get off the ground and up behind my neck [about 80kg]. Even i can squat more than this with a rack, and im weak as cat piss tbh. My question is: will doing a lot of [fairly] heavy deadlifts make up for not going so heavy on my squat? | ||

Squatting regularly usually has a good carryover to deadlifts but not the other way round, i have found in my experience but may be wrong. Stiff legged deadlifts may help however. | ||

 HORRIBLE MEDLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Member 621, 4744 posts SQ 340, BP 220, DL 335895.0 kgs @ 106kgs Eq | In the short term you can deadlift mate! I did a deadlift routine and stopped my squats! And when I squatted again I got a 20kg PB! I'm not saying neglect the squats! But for now untill you get some stands! | ||

Yeah but during your deadlift routine you also gained 20kg bodyweight which may have helped. | ||
