Questions about compound lifts
-
Friday, May 22, 2009 2:40 PM
( #1 )
I am looking to incorporate squats, power cleans, deadlifts and presses into my workout routine. How often should I do these exercises?
Should I create a day dedicated to compound lifts or fit each in with it's muscle group when I work that group?

How long have you been training? The amount of weight has an effect on your CNS, squatting 135 three times per week is a lot different than squatting 315 three times per week.

I have been lifting seriously for about 3-4 months, I'm just starting these exercises too so I'm not sure how much I'll be putting up.

I would do each movement twice per week. Deadlifts, squats and benches.
Example
Day 1
Squat
Bench
Row
Pullup
Day 3
Deadlift
Press
Dips
Chins
Day 5
Squat
Incline Bench
Deadlift
Power Clean

@ MVP
Squat,Deadlifit and powerclean on the same day??
U intend on killing the poor guy ....
no offence meant but that is overkill imho
I think since hes started he can remove one of the two
or rather it shud be squat,bench and ohp...
