One

I brought my DL from 250 for 5 to 455 for 4 in one year doing 1 work set per week.

I do four sets of 6 reps going up in weight in set. On rare occasions I will do just one set with maximum weight.

wondering..as usual.

I just added plates until my working weight. Didn't burn out on warmups, only did a few reps with each one.

very impressive insaneman.
I kinda wonder if I'm overtraining now. Had made really great gains over the past 8months, but now that i'm toning up, i've actually went down about 10lbs on my dl's. So wondered if i was over doing it a bit or if i was cuz of my toning phase/diet?? thats y i was curious as to how many working set u guys were doing.

one all out set of deads is all i ever really did.

2 max... deads take a long time to recover from, and 2 sets is plenty.

2-3 sets, on som occasions i do a couple of 1reps.
