You should be rotating exercises on DC's program. I see you doing the same workouts.

I think most DC guys would tell you to put the sldl after squats.

Can someone inform me on SLDL? Not sure as to what that means. Also, does anyone have a "short" article on DC training. I tend to get frustrated reading long articles...lol.

Instructions
Preparation
Stand with a shoulder width or narrower stance on shallow platform with feet flat beneath bar. Bend knees and bend over with lower back straight. Grasp barbell with a shoulder width overhand or mixed grip, shoulder width or slightly wider. Lift weight to standing position.
Execution
With knees straight, lower bar toward the top of the feet by bending hips. After hips can no longer flex, bend waist as bar approaches top of feet. Lift bar by extending waist and hip until standing upright. Pull shoulders back slightly if rounded. Repeat.
Comments
Begin with very light weight and add additional weight gradually to allow lower back adequate adaptation. Throughout lift keep arms and knees straight. Keep bar over top of feet, close to legs. Do not pause or bounce at bottom of lift. Do not lower weight beyond a mild stretch throughout hamstrings and low back. When finished with set, dismount by lowering weight with knees bent and low back straight. Full range of motion will vary from person to person. Those with less flexibility may not even need to stand on platform. See Dangerous Exercise Essay. Also see Straight Back Straight Leg Deadlift.

SLDL-short for Stiff leg deadlifts 
As for short articles on DC training...there isn't any lol. I'm pretty sure I can sum it up in a pm though

Yes, I know they are. But don't they also say you shouldn't put SLDL on same day as squats? I can see if you're doing leg curls and squats, but doing SLDL and then squats. Maybe I should quit lifting because that too much for me.

I'm pretty sure that I've read where DC guys have said if you do put them together, then they would put SLDL last. Only way of knowing would be to put the question out there for In-Human to answer. He's the man when it comes to DC training. If I'm wrong then I'll shut up.

Maybe you are right. I just do the program as it's laid out, in that order, regardless of what I do. So if you're right, I guess I'll shut up
Personally I think that everyone can (and does) tweak this program just a little to suit themselves. Now I might get a slap on the wrist from IH or DC for that, but.....

That was from someone trained by DC.

If it's working for you and you're getting stronger on both then I would keep doing it that way.

I don't think it really matters. Some people are better doing quads first. That would be my personal perference. Overall, it's about what you are able to grow with. Maybe a session that has SLDL you would do last etc.

Nice workout, congrats on the new PB with Rack Deads!
I noticed some talking about the DC leg exercise order earlier on - IH is having me do quads before hams on squat and hack squat days... on leg press day I do my quads last... So what you are doing is just fine "officially"

Nice job. Really I dont think you really want any leg drive with rack deads. It's more usually just a small portion of the lift. Maybe just your lower back is getting over trained?

same thing I was thinking. There shouldn't be much leg drive while doing rack deads..

Smaller range of motion. If you get time let me see a clip of your rack deads. Maybe you are doing just fine.
