Can you squat and deadlift on the same day ? Make your choice.

---

 

Squats and deadlifts can be done on the same day, if done in separate workouts. You would squat in the morning and deadlift in the evening.

 

Squatting and deadlifting on the same day also gives you the rest of the week to get all of your work in. You can bench on one day and then do back and bicep work on the other, or if you just want to train twice a week, you can do bench, bench assistance, and then your rows and chins as well. This works just fine too.

Reasons why the bench press is not recommended

No doubt about it, the bench press remains one of the most common weight lift gym exercises, either indoor or outdoor. Of course, before even being considered as a technique in the gym, there must have been proven underlying advantages. Not so much as to nullify the underlying disadvantages, the bench press has consequences. To some, the techniques involved are injurious and have to be amended, to others, it simply has to be ruled out. But before you take any of these actions, it is very important to understand the reason why the bench press can be considered bad.

Confidential: Get rid of the machines and hire the squat!

A few years ago, it was simpler, because "squatting" still meant pretty much one thing. Today, supporters of front squats and unilateral squats make persuasive cases and see big results. What's clear is that squatting with free weights should be a part of your training.

Get off the machines and give the squat a shot! Open your mind and get to know about  squatting, along with benefits for each version.

Gym exercises are not uncommon to most of us when we talk of “working out”. While exercising has become commonplace, it is very important we understand that it is one thing to engage in a workout yet another to have a set goal for the bench press. Clarity of purpose will guide you in adopting the right and proper technique for a particular gym exercise. The bench press is one very popular powerlifting exercise but many of us still don’t know the very important techniques for achieving mastery.

Proven way on how to build a bulletproof core quickly

This is a program I have done myself and incorporated some other ideas. It won't get you ripped by itself as this needs a diet geared towards that goal, but it will give you a bulletproof core. With your new gained cylinder of steel in the middle of your body, you can attack all your personal records from running to weightlifting with a new found explosiveness. At least that is what happened for me after 2 months of running this.
