QD regimen supplement

[KCCollins]

I love the Quick and the Dead, but need to incorporate squats and rows to get more of a full body routine. Because I ruck on days other than QD, how should i incorporate squats and rows into my QD day to get all 4 exercises in? Goals are full body strength to assist in my rucking. I have had knee surgery and KB Sumo squats are about the only squat or lung that dont cause prolonged pain, thats why i am limiting myself to the squat, fyi.

id appreciate any help.

depending on your time constraints just do them after or on an off day.

This is what I would do if Q&D is more important than the squats and rows.

It's not that bad either way. but I like my ballistics work to be fresh.

In the grand scheme of things a Q&D practice fits very easily into some peoples' warmup(with room to spare); in their training.

You may find that you prefer a break in between, or that you like to feel fresher so you take a day off. but, I can't think of any prohibitive reasons to not do it immediately after. I wouldn't do it before; because it would affect my ballistics practice too much, to be conducive to my goals. but, after, do whatever you need to keep things headed in the right direction.

I've always done Q&D, rested 10-15 minutes and went into my strength work. It is a great primer for strength work.

No, unless it is too hard you don't have the energy to do stuff at a decent intensity.

I tend to do the most important thing first.

I've always liked a walk after strength training, so if your rucking isn't too hard, then I'd put the strength training on the rucking days.

Don't forget you can always move it around, too, e.g., once a week lift after Q&D, and another day lift before rucking.
