Deadlift frequency

[kristian907]

Jordan, on the latest live stream (10:40) you said you typically have people squat and deadlift 3x a week. I’m currently on week 2 of the 4 day hypertrophy, and I also own the 12 week strength template which both have 2x a week deadlift frequency.

1. Why is this?
2. How would you recommend I add more pulling volume (from 2x to 3x a week) in the future if I want to experiment with that, and which day/exercises? I’m thinking maybe some light’ish RDL’s on Day 1 or Day 3?

1. The 12WS has 3x/wk pulling at times. The hypertrophy program is not a strength program, but has a lot of “back” work.
2. I don’t have an answer for that without more context, but the 12WS already has a 3rd pulling movement on Day 4.
