DL has started to mess me up.

Rip, Last 4 weeks of DLing look kinda like this.. I'm doing Texas Method.

W1 - 451 x5

W2 - 456 x 5

W3 - 461 x 3 (did these on intensity day, instead of volume for laziness issues, failed because of fatigue I think. Took the following week off due to wanting to revert back to DLing on Volume day...)

W5 - 461 x 5 (had to take a mins rest in between reps 4 + 5 because it was soo hard, I marked this as a fail)

MY DL has been going up 10lbs per week until I got to about 440lbs, then I made 5lb jumps because the weight was getting heavy for me. This is the first time i've had problems 2 weeks in a row, is it time to reset? How does resetting the DL work? you back off 10% like in squats and work your way back up in 10lb increments? That will take me a month to get back to my current PR of 461... is that too long?

Many Thanks Rip

At this level, I'd move now to haltings and rack pulls. You're strong enough for that.

awesome, do you do haltings and rack pulls in the same workout, and then Deadlift the following week? Or just alternate haltings and rack pulls weekly and never DL?

i've just done a quick search and didnt find anything on this.

They alternate weekly as the heavy pull day.
