Reply With QuoteClose to the end of the LP you're deadlifting close to two weeks (or near enough: every ten days) anyway. I would just go ahead and increase. You're overthinking it.

Missed one deadlift session
Close to the end of LP. Missed my deadlift session last Sunday (did 3x5 bench and only 1x5 squat) since I felt a slight hamstring tweak during the squats. Did next session with squat at 90 %, and hamstring now feels good. Should I repeat the DL weight from my last DL session next Sunday? It will then have been two weeks between the deadlifts. Or should I go down in weight?

Yup, that is funny (or is it sad...?). This is a reset after a 6 month layoff.Originally Posted by Mark Rippetoe
You're probably right. Been doing DL once a week for a while, but keeping the increases small. Might just as well space it out a bit instead. That could actually make it easier. Thanks!

It was good advice. It felt heavy, as it should, but I had no trouble at all lifting the increased weight!

Not even that anymore. Goal is 500 kg power lifting total.
