I don't see anything wrong with it if you follow it with some sort of
recuperative period. It may be less than optimal from a muscular
adaptation standpoint, but good from a neurological adaptation
standpoint.

Larry,
After I do deadlifts or squats I usually feel like I need a
recuperation period afterwards. I feel like if I did deadlifts and
squats on back to back days for long I would end with some type of
overuse injury. I typically do deadlifts followed by squats on my
leg/back day. I follow this up with pullups and rows and whatever else
I feel like.
You can try out the back to back days and see how you feel. Last
week I did deadlifts at lunch and then squats in the evening; it was
not fun and I was thinking how I really like getting them both over
with in the same workout. I felt like my legs were telling me, "Hey!
It's time to rest and recuperate!", while I was doing those squats.
>From now on if I do a two a day (a rarity) I will do the dl/squat at
lunch and work the rest of the back in the evening. I typically lift 2
or 3 times a week total.

Good luck,
James

If you mean split into 2 workouts evenly spread over a week or
(8, 9, 10 day period) sure. Doing them on back to back days
would be like Olympic lifting training and require varied
intensities and such.

I of course meant "doing MY meat".
