Proper Frequency
On deadlift(or any other lift for that matter) what would be the proper frequency.
I always thought higher frequency + eating everything I could get my hands on would increase my pull much faster.
But I see some guys talking about dead lifting only once a week, or once every two weeks, and they pull alot more than I do.
I want to pull 515 by the first of the year.
Thanks guys.

If you deadlift heavy every week you will burn out fairly quickly, the frequency thing seems to only work for bench and squat, you can do speed dead or something every second week if you still want to deadlift every week
-
I thought it was more to do with prioritising the squat because increase in squat = increase in deadlift but it doesn't usually work the other way round guess I was wrong
-
depends on what you're able to do. a lot around here will suggest alternating deadlift training sessions (with whichever frequency is right for you) with a max effort (heavy weight, low reps) and dynamic effort (speed deadlifting with lighter weight and higher reps).
it really just comes down to what your body can handle. there is nothing instrisically wrong with deadlifting every week. e

"Must spread reputation"
And what I am currently doing is pulling heavy one day, later inthe week I do rack pulls and platform pulls.
I also do front squat and box squat(deadlift feet placement and regular) on my second leg day to help as well.

If your goal is to get your deadlift up, then it would make sense to follow a program that is designed to get your deadlift up. Atleast that is what would make sense.

I hate you.
Perhaps one day mankind will create a distributed network of computing devices attached to storage, with an easily-searchable index of the information therein. Then one could trivially answer such a question.

Don't eat everything you have your hands on. You will get sick and you won't be able to call for help because you ate the phone.

depends on how you recover. I ran sheiko msic prep acouple of months ago, 5x bench 3x squat and dead a week. I liked it. Currently i pull squat and bench 2x a week. One heavy one speed. Working so far. conjugate setup. I can train 6x a week and make progress, some people can only train heavy 2x a week. FIGURE OUT WHAT WORKS FOR YOU.
-
The question impossible to answer without a bevy of other information including: training experience, volume tolerance, volume, total tonnage, frequency other lifts, and that's just to name a few. Even then, it is basically a crap shoot.
You'll have to experiment for yourself. Sure, there are some guys out there that only pull heavy 1-2x/month. There are some guys who don't pull heavy unless they're at a meet. There are other guys who may pull 2-4x/week. All of these strategies have been used to set world records. You have to find out what works best for you through trial and error.

Day 1-Heavy Squat5x5, Bench Press 5x5
Day 2- Deadlift 3x5,3x3(or may do a heavy single after the 3x5)
Day 3-Front squat-5x5, Box Squat(low) 3x5, Box Squat(high) 3x5, Decline bench 4x5, incline bench 4x5
Day 4-Platform Pulls3x8,3x5, Rack pulls 8x2
I do some isolation too
Edit: fixed

Are the a's and b's supposed mean two a days or the a's are week 1, b's are week 2, then back to a's for week 3?

Different days.

[QUOTE=YoungDrSwole;985508833]Different days.[/QUOTE]
So you train 4x a week? It's confusing cuz you didn't just say Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4. You also didn't say what days so we would actually know what kind of rest you are getting.

I like thinking of it as two squat days and two deadlift days. I've changed it, and I never changed the 1a 1b template in my mind, sorry.
So
1
Rest
2
Rest
3
4
Rest

Also, I manage my family's farm. So I do manual labor pretty much every day of the week.

So basically you are doing 11 working sets of squats the day before your 2nd pulliing day and doing a bunch of manual labor on top of that. That sounds like you would stall pretty quickly. When I was doing manual labor Mon-Fri I could only manage squatting and benching 2x a week and deadlifting 1x a week and didn't even really bother with accessory work.

Yea, I was thinking of pull back on the squats alittle.
The manual labor isn't too bad, I'm used to it. I don't get too tired anymore.

Or you can do an actual program that focuses on the lifts you are weak at i.e. bench and then squat. Unless all you care about is deadlift, then you could just do a deadlift specific program.

The one that I really need is bench. My squat was 405lbs before my injury(got attacked by a pig, messed up my ankle.) Still isn't very flexible.
I think I can probably squat it now, I just haven't maxed since I got hurt.
And yea my bench blows.

But you are correct, I am focussing on deadlift until after January. I am competing in single lift worlds in Richmond and wanted to pull at least 500.

Well then you could probably handle more frequency or more intensity if you did the deadlift workouts when you were the most recovered, like the beginning of the week rather than after a squat workout. Something like:
Day 1: 5x5 Deadlift
Day 2: OFF
Day 3: 5x5 Squat, 5x5 Bench
Day 4: OFF
Day 5: Speed Pulls, Upper Back work
Day 6: 5x5 Bench, Shoulders/Tris
Day 7: OFF
That way you would have 48 hours off from squats before you went into speed pulls. And you would have 72 hours off from lower body and 48 hour off from all lifting before going into heavy 5x5. Then you could just add 5 lbs to your 5x5 workout every week till you stall.
I came up with this in about 1 mins so I doubt its perfect but I would think it'd be more effective for deadlifts than what you are currently doing.

Why don't you do something like a Deadlift specific program? Since you're focusing on Deadlift and stuff.

because it makes entirely too much sense.
