At 285x3, at least try 300!

Sounds good, 285 came on my 6th set so I'm confident I can do more.
Any ideas for a progression?
If I make 300 can I keep increasing the weight slowly and go for 3 plates each side? How would the progression look then?
Thanks.

This was Alcoholiday's recommendation:
135x3x3
185x3
225x3
275x1
315x1
Now, if you feel safer going for 300 first, then that's ok... but after that, wait 3 minutes and then go straight for the 315. I think you have it in the bag!

Thanks, that looks pretty easy on paper, I'm feeling confident..

my goal for today was 355. That went up easy. 365, pretty easy also. 375, got it, but the bar was slipping out at the top... I'll take it.

Wow man. You're shooting up through the ranks these days! Same bodyweight (167)?

I'll have to weigh myself one of these mornings. I can't imagine it changed much. I hope that it wasn't just a fluke day.

315 at 190 today, failed 3 times but finally locked it out after dropping to 305 for a set and then ramping it back up in a last ditch attempt to hit the 3 plater. I'm going to pay for this tomorrow...oh the pain..  It's so worth it..

Is it? You failed three times than hit it later. I would think that the failing three times might be sign you weren't ready for that load. I don't mean to be negative, but I've suffered at least two back injuries this past 9-10 months and I certainly don't wish that on anyone. Be mindful of your back!

You're right, I probably shouldn't have gone for it but I did, at least, feel happy with my form. I think the difference between the failing and lockout today was mental not physical, the first few times I really wasn't prepared to go for it, that last time I pulled the shit out of that bar and it came up nicely.
However, I definitely intend to slow it down on the deadlifts, especially on the higher rep workouts as I tend to lose my arch as the set goes on.
I should point out that I doubt I'll actually feel any pain (it was more for effect), I may be a bit sore (in the good way) but I haven't actually hurt my back yet, my main weaknesses are my hip flexors/quads, I always strain them when I run.
Thanks for the advice, I appreciate your honesty.

I just weighed myself this morning and I lost two damn pounds! I better get my appetite back soon. That puts me at 165. Better for my deadlift coefficient, but now what I want!

Okay...I haven't really submitted before. I'm not a huge deadlifter. Hurt myself a year or so ago doing DL's and have feared them. But...I pulled a few set this morning. 5 x 3 x 225. I weigh 173. Does that get me on the list? I have no idea my 1RM and probably wont be "going for it". I'm skeert.

Pull a single at 250 and we'll stick you on there. Then we can talk about doing a real 1RM down the road.
