i totally agree 3J, my right knee is messed slight tear LCL, some days it's so so, some days ache's like a bitch, deadlifts dont seem to bother my LCL issue as far as lifting, but as far as squats go, it's a no go right now, even leg extensions kill my right knee at times but still get through leg day lol
as far as me lifting heavy, i would rather get 8-10-12 reps then 1-2 reps anyday now, thats why i one day a week typically saturday when all my other routines are done, and retty much make it a strickly deadlift day with the boyz lifting the same amount of weight or more ha

Maxing out every week isn't the best idea. I used to do it that way. I got up to 500 a couple years ago before I ruptured a biceps tendon. It took 2 surgeries and over a year before my arm felt normal again. Mostly normal. It will never look the same after the injury, and it will never have the same range of motion.
These days I just do lots of reps and sets at 315. Overhand grip only.

I also stick to 405 & rep at least 8...if I'm not getting 8 with 405 I drop it to 385 and shoot for 8-10 etc.

like i said i dont lift like that daily, but i do set a day out for strickly max deads, i get geared up, i look around the gym, see if there is any hotties around and et more geared up, i dont know if people get the same feeling but fuck the more hotties in the gym, the more syked i get the weight is going up, like your testosterone increase's a few more notches lmao, but yes, i love just setting a max day for strickly deads and scarin the lovely ladies when the weight comes down lmao 
I did a lot of reading after my injury. Competitive powerlifters don't train that way, maxing out every week. Training in the 3 to 5 rep range is more effective if strength is your goal. The powerlifters I talked with said they'd test their max once every 3 or 4 weeks at most.
When I was maxing out every week, I added 20 pounds to my max just from moving deadlift day to Monday. I lift 5 days a week, Monday through Friday. I found that I'm strongest on Mondays after resting over the weekend.

as long as you don't shart or grunt loud doing them, the ladies don't like that I'm told.
I'd like to see a video of 585.
But I pushed to 405 and my lower back can't handle it period. I haven't been able to dead for 4months now and I can almost bend over with out pain.
Lifting heavy will never be for me.
Edit: I was on ostarine post cycle for all my current 1mr's(crazy huh?)

What's a normal weight and rep range for you? I'm on cycle after recovering from an injury and really trying to focus on what I'm doing and not necessarily a number.
