Decided to change things up for my strength week. So I'm doing 10 x 3 for stuff like Squats, deads, bench, ohp, rows. And 5x5 for stuff like hip thrusts, walking lunges, weighted dips & pull ups.

So did that with legs yesterday and
Found my 1rm for my high bar squat of 270.
Hip thrusts went ok ended up doing 265 for 3 reps
Was able to front squat 200 for 3 reps pretty comfortably.
Also on RDL's got the weight up to 205 for 3 reps.

Also my legs are pretty sore. This is the first time I really back squatted heavy since I mobilized my ankles & hips to where I can reach proper depth consistently. Plus doing 10 x 3 of it is a good amount of volume. As long as I can do my heavy deads on Friday we souls be good.

On leg days, is it cool to do front squats, back sqiats and deads on the same day? Ive read different views, i feel fine after anyway but wanted to make sure im not gonna fukk myself up or anything

And 140kg on deads i think fatigue got me at the end i can do more

As long as you can maintain good/safe form, sure.

If this is a normal workout, I'd also be sure to rotate the lift you do first an go the hardest on.

I generally agree with @HHR

But based on your post you were fatigued doing Deads. If that's the case I don't think doing all three is ideal. Those are major movements so if fatigue is a factor, form is going I break and injury could occur.

As usual my question is what is your goal and are you doing things (rest, nutrition, etc) that will support that type of volume for an extended period.
