    Quick question, are you looking for to compete are just looking for power routine? That split isn't very good and I would never leave out heavy squats. I'd do the opposite. If anything leave out heavy deads and focus on heavy squats. Your deadlift will go up even if you don't deadlift heavy if you're squatting heavy. But the other way around isn't true. Continual heavy deadlifts are known to tax your CNS way too much to do on a weekly basis. I only deadlift heavy once a month. I focus on rack pulls, deficit deads, and speed deads as my deadlift training while doing heavy squats and speed squats. But I'm a competitive powerlifter/strongman and I don't know if that's your focus.

    I'd look into Wendler's 5/3/1 routine. It seems to be what you are looking for.

    BgMc when your doing your rack pulls and deficit deads how many reps are generally doing, and are you doing them weekly.
