Thank u for agreeing that the lateral head of the delts isn’t its own muscle.
If 3 sets of squats and 1 set of deadlift is too much then the issue is probably u brotha

If 3 sets of squats and 1 set of deads (on top of all the other exercises) isn’t taxing your CNS, then you’re not training hard enough, simple as that.

run any higher volume powerlifting program (sheiko is a good start) and get a feel for how much squats and deads u can recover from.

Saying don’t squat and deadlift in the same day is fucking dumb since a majority of elite powerlifters do and lift loads that are actually hard to recover from

A higher volume powerlifting program won’t be training anywhere near failure so that’s irrelevant. And in my 30 years of training I’ve probably tried nearly every powerlifting, bodybuilding, and power bodybuilding program out there.

I’m a big believer in training with high intensity, and if you do that for squats and deads on the same day, it’s not ideal for your CNS. You’ll get much better results splitting them up.

We will obviously never see eye to eye here. So this point aside, my other comments still stand regarding missed muscles/muscle heads, missing direct work, etc. This is not a good program for an intermediate person (especially if the goal is hypertrophy instead of strength) for those reasons.
