that would work great imo, and much more optimal over a long period of time than either method alone.  You can generally use a set up like that year round without much stalling if you eat,sleep, recover well.

 What I have found works best over time is working up to a heavy single or triple for 3 sets on one day, preferably the first day.  Then working up to a single max set of 5 the second training day. 

The last training day would be 4 x 8-10, where load is increased once you complete 4 x 10 across.  If youre only training 2x a week then you simply to workout 1, workout 2, workout 3, in order on whatever day they may fall, taking an extra day of rest after workout 3.

Very interesting, haven't thought about it that way.

What if you want to do two squat workouts per week with the 3rd squat workout being replaced by BSS + deadlifts?

Like:

Workout 1: squat
rest
Workout 2: BSS + deadlift
rest
Workout 3: high volume squat
rest
rest

I would use the  bss on the hypertrophy day if you wanted them in your program.  If you use deads on one of the cns intensive days you dont need a squat on that day.

Raptor:
Well yeah, that was the idea - no squatting in the deadlift day, but start the deadlift day with BSSs...

To me, squat + bss is kind of reduntant and me personally - I could never do BSSs really intense after squats so... they need to be a primary exercise for me in order to really go all out at it.
