If my 1rm is 100kg... and i take 90% of my 1rm to base my percentages on... so 90kg. On the next mesocycle do i do 90% of 102.5kg... or just go 92.5kg?

Also... is it ok to skip deadlift day? My back always hurts for days after i deadlift... an achy joint pain.

Thanks.

Is your form on point? You don't want to visit snap city. Also, with the 90% of 102.5kg, just round up or down, or get your own smaller plates.

I don't know about the mesocycle stuff, but if your back hurts after deadlifting, you're doing it wrong.

reduce the weight and work on your form. Odds are you are not maintaining a proper arch in your lower back, leading to soft tissue soreness and injury after deadlifting.

At 38 you shouldnt be having back pain.

Upper body lifts you add 5lbs to your training man. Lower body lifts you add 10lbs to your training max after each cycle is completed.

Is that 102.5kg and keep doing 90% of that?

Dude there's a max 2.5 kg deviation in the scale of 10 cycles, it doesn't matter.

Generally speaking - you take 85 - 90 % of your 1RM as your training max and then increase your training max every cycle.
