Can never be prepared for what’s to come.
First time having to do squats and deadlifts on the same day, I survived. For now. I did another dynamic workout today with the two core lifts; speed, power and explosiveness. Check out the progress with my low bar — wide stance squats and sumo deadlifts; both done at 60% of 1RM: Squats and sumos
I pretty much decided that I would work on sumo deads this week and conventional next week– switching it every week so I hit both but not at the same time. I am still working on getting used to the low bar wide stance squats — they have been weird, but I know they will be helpful and worth my while.
