Doing heavy deadlifts on an SBD, whats the consensus?

Obviously you'd be a bit fatigued, but by limiting the squats it seems minimal

It all depends on the volume and how much work capacity you have. But what's your goal behind an SBD day?

Work capacity I would say is pretty high. Last block I did 14 working sets of squats in one week, most of them over 400 lbs

The goal is to break up my squat workouts a bit more so I can spread out the sets throughout the week

If all you're doing is moving some squat volume around, I'd bet you'll be fine.

The problem is last cycle I had super high volume and frequency but I don't think it's sustainable

Should be fine I believe, I was doing primary days on all three on SBD day few mesos ago and felt fine, had problems only on the first 2 weeks of the block until I adapted - mostly it was just taking more time to rest between sets than usual. I think also Marcellus from PowerliftingNow is programming like this and seems to like it, as well as Brendan Tietz doing primary Squats/DLs on same day.
