Excellent piece of advice. I never thought of that before, thanxOriginally posted by The_Chicken_Daddy
Just make sure if you do them on a day you don;t squat that you give your lower back enough time to recouperate between squats and deads.

Aside of not thinking deads are necessary for a bodybuilder, another reason I do not do them is I have always feared "disc compression".
I used to do heavy squats, but now I only do squats every other leg work-out (sometimes every 3rd), and I never go above 300lbs.

There's potential for disc-compression for loads of exercises.

True, that's why I avoid many exercises, or use them sparingly.
I only squat once every 2-3 leg work-outs, I do not do any type of overhead presses, I do not do deadlifts, only stiff-legged which I do not go very heavy, I do barbell curls, but again once every 2-3 work-outs.
I wear a belt on any exercise that put pressure on my back. This may seem overly cautious, but it's sort of a mental hang-up I have with my back.

Holy hell-- I do every exercise you listed at least once a week, sometimes more.
Not only do I not own a weight belt, I haven't even seen one in like 8 months.

Damn buddy. A belt should be the first thing that you own if you are going to workout. No matter how heavy you go.
