Squat & Deadlift Centered Muscle Building Program 2 week

This is not a secret: I love squats and deadlifts. They are the most potent and primal of all compound muscle building exercises.

Yesterday I asked myself a simple question: if you could design a workout and send it back in time to yourself, what would it look like?

I would design a workout that was squat and deadlift-focused.

Squat and deadlift intensity would be rotated weekly, allowing for a good synergy between rep work and strength gains.

The plan would be simple but brutal.

I wouldn't overkill direct arm or ab work.

Here is a sample split:

Monday - Squats, Deadlifts, Hamstrings and Abs

Tuesday - Chest and Triceps

Wednesday - Rest

Thursday - Back, Quads and Abs

Friday - Shoulders, Traps and Biceps

Saturday - Rest

Sunday - Rest
