Should I do deadlifts the day after leg workout?

I currently have my back workout the day after my leg workout. Is it ok to do deadlifts, or would that be overkill on the legs?

I would be more worried about your lower back it takes a long time for that to recover.

its probly not a good idea, deadlifts use a lot of the same muscle that are used when training legs(tho primarily back). I train legs on monday and back on friday so that there is a maximum amount of time between them.
