When lifting heavy

[dedlift]

Hey, for those of you that have got experience lifting in the 2-5 rep range, or who do more of a POWERLIFTING routine.

Where do you place your shoulder training in relation to heavy benching?

where do you schedule heavy deadlifts in relation to legs or squats?

I have been doing

Monday: Heavy flat bench and bi's and tri's

wednesday: Heavy deadlifts,moderate pulldowns or rows. then seated heavy shoulder presses

friday: heavy squats.


I find my shoulders hurt from bench day, and my lower back hurts from deadlifts. Nothing major, I just don't wanna get an injury.

If youre lifting heavy doing a PL routine theres no real need for direct shoulder work. You could do some overhead pressing on bench days but i wouldnt do any isolation shit. Ive been training PL style for years and my shoulders are quite developed without any direct work because they get hit hard on benching.

yeah, I'll try that. I don't want a shoulder injury. any thoughts on how much I shouls seperate squats and deads?

Since theyre the 2 biggest lifts i like to do one on monday and the other on friday while doing chest and other pushing exercises on wednesday. Just my personal preference.

i alternate my squats and deadlifts, every other week. i trained with a powerlifter (who has his elite total) and he deadlifts once a month, if that. the idea being that squatting heavy, and lots of core strengthening will bring up your deadlift without actually doing it. it may sound crazy, lol, but it worked for me. put 45 lbs on my raw total in 4 months, without ever deadlifting during that period of time... just my 2 cents
