Then 3x3 at 90% adding 5lbs every time I complete the 3x3 without failure . Doing deadlifts twice a week.


Ima see how this goes.

Do not deadlift at 90% twice a week. Way too much volume. If you're set on deadlifting twice a week do the 3x3 conventional at 90%. Then closer to 70% on your sumos as an accessory.

Your probably right... I don't get back pain from deadlifts even if I end up maxing lol 1 hour later and feeling good as new ...

I guess 70% is fine I just hate the idea of speed work sets at 50% as it doesn't transition at all for me at heavy weight

So I tend to get careless.

I'm over 90% more than twice. 5x5 Mondays, 5x5 Thursdays.... Then Tuesdays and Fridays I start 85% for 3x15, dropping plates at failure...I've never hit my full 15. But is brutal. That's per my trainer :/
