This is exactly the kind of post that this thread is supposed to be fighting against. Vauge and ambiguous advice of highly suspect value.
3x a week should be reserved for geriatrics and heavy Olympic lifters.
Yes, beginners should train deads and squats on the same day. If you look at the eastern european training programs of the 80's especially the Bulgarian and Romainian teams (widely considered to be the best) you will see that they would have multiple training sessions a week where it was all leg work. Hell when I was training in college the heaviest days were deads and box squats (another much maligned movement that idots try and **** all over). It works if you're not marsupialed.
if you plan on not wasting your workout time then 5 days a week is too much for somebody whose not on gear. the CNS load is ridiculous.
the training methods of the 80's have been far superseded with modern methods, not to mention your average joe should not be training to elite standards for many reasons.
for any beginner or even intermediate weight lifter wanting size, strength or just to lose fat the big basic movements i gave earlier tied into a realistic program cannot be beaten. so dont fool yourself that you can.
