That will fuck your joints and spine. So, uhm, not that great an idea.

I was maxing out once per week and went from 260 to 355 in 5 months. Did something similar to West Coast Barbell routine.

Since I started doing strong lifts 5x5 my spine and joints have been kicking ass.

Good job fatcat. Don't let any idiots in gd shit on your accomplishment.

I was doing the same thing as you. I was chaining brake calipers and then old brake rotors onto the bar until a good deal came up on cl and I could afford more plates.

Properly executed deadlifts are probably the single most beneficial weight exercise you can do for yourself, regardless of fitness level or goals.
Improperly executed deadlifts, on the other hand...

My son dead lifted 550lbs when he was 17 years old. He was 5'9"' 210lbs. He had professional training and became a big time power lifter. Remember in high school they had contest where you run so many miles and parents would offer a few dollars per mile? He won thousands of dollars for his high school football program. Parents guessed way under what he could lift. He said technique was the key to pulling up that much weight.

I would say that the honor goes to the low bar back squat but yeah dead lifts are good for you.

Good for you, improvements are always good. Lift safely and good luck with the next one.

There is no evidence that dead lifts done properly will lead to back problems.

If it takes 20 years for issues to surface from deadlifting I'm not sure that deadlifting is causing the problem.

That's nothing. everyday I dead lift over 1000 pounds.

there are several officers in my department that are dead weight and I have to carry them throughout the day.
