Should You Perform Squats and Dead Lifts On The Same Day?

Both deadlifts and squats are awesome mass builders that work much of your entire body. They would both be worth the effort to put into your workout routine.  Personally, I would not do them on the same day. Both of these require 100% of your full potential and can be tiring and strenuous. By doing them on different days you can put all your energy into each exercise. If you are lifting heavy, your lower back gets pretty beat up and needs at least two to three days to recovery. Design your workout regime to give your muscles rest, especially if you are going heavy.

Also, make sure you use a weight that you can control.  If you need a spotter, then use one. Proper form is a must on both of these exercises. Improper form could lead to injury that you do not need!

Give them each their own day and you will see great results!
