For my next routine in a few weeks I was thinking and thinking
about ways to add mass AND Inc my bench,squat,deads all at
the sametime.I also wanted to hit each muscle and "lift"
2xweek.So I came up with this split.
Squat-light
Bench-Heavy
dead-light
off
Squat-heavy
Bench-light
deads-Heavy
So a light squat workout would be maybe box squats,hack squats
some calf work,leg curls
And a heavy squat day would be some,half squat,full squats,not really
any assistance exercises on heavy days.i would hit tris 1xweek withheavybench
and delts with light bench.My light day for deads would be powercleans,deads(light)good mornings,some curls or whatever for arms,forearms while heavy day
would be some heavy ass rack pulls.I would keep workout under an hour and
would be following a bulk up diet.I like it but going 6xweek would really suck.

I feel that right above will cause you problems. My suggestion for training the squat and dead heavy twice a week is this:

Mon- Chest (heavy) Back (light) Shoulders (light) Arms (heavy)
Tuesday- Rest
Wednesday- Deadlift-posterior chain emphasis (heavy) Front Squat (light)
Thursday- rest
Friday- Back (heavy) Chest (light) Shoulders (heavy) Arms (light)
Saturday- rest
Sunday- Squats (heavy) good mornings, pull throughs, etc (light)
Monday- rest
Tuesday- repeat

Thats one split you can do, you still train each muscle group almost twice a week, instead of twice every seven days, it is twice every eight days. Or you can just do the Mon, tues, thurs, Fri, or a fav of mine is Mon, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

Just dont place a heavy squat session close a heavy deadlift session, or you will get a injured lower back fast. Simmons and his guys dont even separate trying to train the deadlift and the squat. They believe when you train for the squat, you also train for the deadlift and vice versa. Thats why their Max effort for the two exercises for them is one day a week, it is not max effort for the squat and the max effort for the dead. It is only max effort for the bench with another day for dynamic effort, and the same for squat/deadlift max effort day, and its dynamic day. Hope this makes sense. Good luck!
