Deadlift Experiment High Frequency
I'm 37 soon to be 38 currently deadlifting about 2x bodweight (I've been bouncing between 167-173 and my last PR was 335). I've been deadlifting every day or every other day schedule permitting for a 2 months or so now.
I've been keeping a journal at

I just realized this forum was here yesterday so thought I would carbon on this side. My mid term goal is to deadlift 405 and my long term goal is get a 3x bodyweight deadlift at less than 200 pounds. So far I'm strapless, beltless, and chalkless.
Powersnatch to press 95 x 10 (20 presses)
Conventional Deadlifts
135 x 10
205 x 3
255 x 2
275 x 3
[b] 285 x 1 x 10 PR [/b]
285 is 85% of my 1 RM. Reps 8-10 were disgustingly hard though I still kept some semblance of decent form. Tommorrow will probably be an off-day or a light day with a mid afternoon session.

Low volume but wanted to do some work at the upper range. 305 is 91% of my 1RM. Had a 5 minute break between a few of the 305 singles I just wanted to make sure I was ready for the next and everything was tight.
Heh I'm starting to feel cheesey remarking on some of these PR since the work from this point forward is probably all PR's unless I'm in the 80% range or volume range. I did feel stoked getting work in at >90% though.

Felt the Chicken curry coming up on the last set so called it a night. Took just enough break between sets to breathe normally and went back at it. Back and legs feel really good about 30 minutes after I finished so I guess I need it.
