I've recently gotten into powerlifting, raised my squat to 355x3, 225x1 Bench, and 440x1 Dead. However, recently my deadlift just crapped out on me. I've been PRing my back squat every week, and for the last four sessions I almost couldn't lock 315-365 out. Should I not be squatting and deadlifting in the same day anymore?
Routine is Powerlifting to Win: Transitioning Intermediate Auto Regulated
Monday is Pause squat, pause bench, deficit dead, cgbp
Wednesday is Front Squat, Incline Bench
Friday is Squat, Bench, Deadlift (9 RPE day)
(I low bar squat) + I'm 6'4 230 and 19 years old.

Seconded on DL. My DL has tanked hard ever since I started trying to do DL and squat heavy same day. While I know I probably can't do 435 lb as converted from my max reps, I should at least be able to pull 405... and yet I failed to even do 355 despite 15 rep max 295 (the 15 rep max was done back when I did DL by itself, no squats).
Probably also gonna be forced to split DL away from squat days.Gym best lifts
Squat - 370 lb x 1 rep Strict OHP - 150 lb x 4 rep
Bench Press - 270 lb x 1 rep Deadlift - 340 lb x 3 rep

You're tired. I haven't had much luck DLing more than once a week, but that's just me.
It's not a bad idea to train deadlifts after squats, especially for newbies, just so you aren't super disappointed when you have to do that in competition and pull a lot less than you expect.637/390tng/615 - belt/wraps, best gym lifts.
600/370/600 - best competition lifts.
575/330/560 - best competition lifts at 181 raw.

I'm doing the 5x5 program right now and at most the program recommends deadlifting 2x/week, 1 set of 5 reps. This is intentional since overdoing the deadlift can be detrimental to your body.
Still new to weightlifting, but maybe try deadlifting first in your workout instead of at the end? For most lifters I've talked to, the first exercise they do tends to be the best since their muscles are fresh and not drained at all - then it just goes downhill from there. Likewise, is there a difference when you wait longer in-between sets in terms of how much you can lift? When I first started out I was doing sets as quickly as I could load/unload weights with my lifting partner. The moment I slowed down a bit and took longer breaks in-between sets, then the better I did.
