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..

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.
I pulled 275 for multiple reps a few months ago at a weight of about 200 pounds. I have been doing HGM so haven't done real deadlifts or real heavy weight on the legs for awhile so it will be interesting to see what I get tonight or tomorrow.
So as of right now:
275@200 = 1.375
I am going to shoot for 415 when I actually max out.
I got 315 at 202 (1.559) the other day. I was kind of disappointed, but considering I was alredy tired before I started and the fact that I had been doing phase 1 of HGM which incorporates more cardiovascular work than heavy lifts, it's really not that bad.
Can I get in on this? Maxed deadlift today for the first time in long time, been dropping weight for a while. Down almost 25 lbs in the last 10 weeks or so. For about the last month I've been focusing almost exclusively on conditioning, mobility, and flexibility, so I didn't expect much today, but I tied my PR with a 475 pull. Don't think I had much left in me, but it was a solid lift, I've never been able to hold that much weight that securely without chalk. Felt good. Anyway, that's a 475 with a 190 bodyweight (I assume we're weighing in the morning like a meet, that's when I weigh myself).
Or is this supposed to be meet lifts only? If so, my meet PR (and only meet lift ) is 474 at 196.
