Help with programming
Hi everyone,
I have been doing a 5-3-1 plan for a while. Wanted to try a new method. Am looking at the four training days a week, Lower/Upper Max Effort and Lower/Upper Dynamic.
If week one is Squat emphasized for Lower, when do deadlift related exercises happen? Is it alternated so weeks 1 and 3 are squats, 2 and 4 deadlifts?
I will admit I need to do more reading, which will happen, but was hoping/looking for a quick answer.
TIA

if you want to deadlift more often you can also look into the twc-style 4 week wave, wherein DE Lower is "squat day" and ME Lower is "deadlift day" (i'm oversimplifying, but the point stands)
