Hi guys - just after a bit of advice really!
Ive recently got back into deadlifting and each week for the past month or 2 I have been attempting a new 1rm.
First week I couldn't get 120kg up (felt form getting sloppy so stopped the lift). The week after I managed 120kg for 1.
4 weeks on and I have consistently increased my 1rm by 5kg each week.
Managed 135kg last week with decent form (trainer watched me).
Question is, can I keep attempting a new 1rm each week whilst my lifts are increasing? My plan is to add 5kg each week and when these gains stop, take a week off and deload. Eg;
Week 1: 140kg
Week 2: 145kg
Week 3: 150kg - failed
Week 4: deload - 100kg for low reps
Week 5: 145kg again
Week 6: 150kg
Week 7: 155kg
If I fail my 150kg again I'd adopt a routine like 5/3/1.
Is this dl routine okay? Any criticism? Im enjoying these weekly gains and would like to milk them for as long as possible!
