im guessing you missed out a zero?

eat more, which is probably what you should do anyway.

take a weeks break, sometimes it good for the body.

it's probably a plateu bro. try eating more, getting plenty of rest. but ifthat ist working than mix up some exercises with the dl. your body could be getting used to the routine. good luck

sounds to me like you either A. have a mental blockage or B. your not eating consistantly. as crazy as it sounds if i dont have my oatmeal hour and a half b4 lifting than my protein than my pre workout supp i dont perform my strength i should be at.. but i think its a mental blockage

That is why. Gaining 5lbs seems very little. How are other lifts doing? It can easily be due to the fact Deadlifts do not need to be done frequently in order to go up. Last year I stopped deadlifting for 4-5 months straight. Did a ton of squats, rack pulls, and rows. When I came back to deadlifting I added about 15lbs to it. You don't need to hit it every week, remember more is less sometimes. Put some warm up sets and ramp up more, and I'd only put in 1-2 working sets once every 2 weeks.
