Squats or Deadlifts?

[imported_daxie]

Hello,

planning my next cycle already...
Would like to put in deadlifts or squats...

Problem is, I have never done them intensively before.
(I did do some semi-deadlifts with about 200lbs, before my forearms couldn't hold it anymore, but never full deadlifts)(also did some squatting before, but never above 200, so never really hard, I guess I just didn't dare )

So which one would be best to start incorporating?
Which one is easiest to get to the correct weight? (Meaning I know for example with squat I could do up to 240 or something, but I never done it, so would have to learn it a bit...)

thnx

Deadlifts are the mother of exercises, a very good compound but taxying like hell, straight leg deads though are a lot easier and do not need so much weight. I dropped DL's because my lower back started hurting, and I was only on the 100 Kg. poundage!

Squats if you start off nice and easy, the HST approach, should be fine even when you take them to the real heavy poundage.

Example, I never though I could squat even 100 Kg., the last cycle I did 124 Kg. and this cycle I am attempting 130 Kg, my body weight after two cycles and protein shakes has been improved to 70 Kg. so I am not a big dude.

I am sure that yuo can do it without a problem.
