53 yrs old & twice a week sqauts

[Cheesepuff]

Squat one week and do Deadlifts the next. Continue to alternate. Doing this produced all time PR's on both lifts for me. I'm returning to this program on Saturday.

Just for clarity, you'd say heavy squat Mon / Thu of one week then heavy DL Mon / Thu of the next.

Or would you do something like 90% on Mondays, with heavy sets on Thursdays.

I'm not ready for anything but linear right now... but I plan on being ready. LOL.

I know this is older but...

I'm down to 2-3 workouts a week and like you my numbers are doing well.

Sunday
Squat
Press
DL

Tue
Squat
Bench

Thur
Press
DL or Cleans


This has worked well. I'm 52 now. If middle of the week gets busy I'll just repeat Sundays workout once during the week maybe a little lighter.
