deadlift rep question
any thoughts on 1 rep deadlifts?
currently im doing 2 sets of 6-8
was talking to a newly made friend today who seemed very knowledgable and suggested i try 1 rep deadlifts, saying that it would give me more strength on my squats, and greater overall progression

Was your friend a powelifter? I would expect that he/she is. I am a bodybuilder and I am currently using 5X5 training. I had a slight back injury recently, but I am getting back to where my conventional deadlift weight was, now with much better form. Actually last night my deadlifts were as follows:
135 for 12
225 for 5
275 for 5
285 for 5
285 for 5
I have had great results with this method. I am still feeling out what I am capable of right now, I could have gone up more on the last three, but decided against it for that night. Normally, 5X5 consists of 2 progressively heavier warmup sets, not going heavier than 60-70% of 5 rep max, then three sets at 5 rep max. If I get all 5 on each of the three 5 rep max sets, I will go up on those sets next time. I usually rest 3-5 minutes between sets.

I'm not going into my DL experience from last night, but heavy singles are a good choice for building strength if you're doing squats for reps another time during the week.

i use a 1 rep dead in my routine with great effect.
try pyramiding your weights down from say a 12 rep set to start to 8 reps, then 2 sets of 4 then a single and the rep out for about 12 again.I want to squat a car

I do all my deadlifting these days for 1 rep sets. Works for me.
Of course, I am powerlifter-biased though.Best Meet Lifts(Raw):
