BJJ/500lb DL goal

[Machmood869]

Strange assumption…

If you feel like you’re not recovering then there’s your answer. Have to prioritize. I think if you dial in your diet, sleep, workout organization you can get this done (albeit slower then just focusing on your DL).

This is an SS forum, but lots of people get good linear gains on squating and DL on alternate days and hitting each lift every other. Think upper body A with DL and lower body B lower with squats. Or even alternate DL with an aux exercise to reduce stress. Squatting and DL 3x is no joke, and I don’t mean your not tough enough to do it, but we’re not 20

Or prioritize your DL over your SQ, and slow down the latter progression. When you break 500, see-saw. Slow down the DL and speed up the SQ.
