    Deadlifting routine

    Age: 19
    Height: 172cm
    weight: 75kg
    bf: 12 - 15 %
    Goals: adding muscle mass

    For the past couple of months my deadlifting routine looks somewhat like this
    start of light, until i get to a heavy weight that i push reall hard to get 5 reps

    ex. week 1:
    goal weight 125kg X 5 reps

    If that was successful then in week 2 i would go for 130 kg to keep the progression in each week going

    Every 4 - 6 weeks i would have a week off from deadlifts just to recover

    Recently i achieved 5 reps of 137.5kg which i felt was a great achievment
    I felt the need to deload the week after and usually after a deload week i can add weight and smash 5 reps again

    But this time when i attempted 137.5kg again i only achieved 3 reps. I put it down as a bad workout because let's face it they happen to everyone
    The week after when i attempted 137.5kg again i still only achieved 3 reps, it's like i went backwards from my progress
    Any tips on how to progress to heavier weight and push past this plateu??
    Also from my height, weight and age what weight would be lifting 'above average'?? would love to know how people rate these figures??

    Thank you

    3 sets of 5. Work up to a weight that is moderately hard to get 5. Stay at that weight for 2 more sets. Next time add 2.5-5kg. This comes from mark rippetoes starting strength book.

    What i did when i hit a plateau with my deadlift was i would take a weight i could do no more than 2-3 reps. And then do it one rep every 45 seconds for 10 minutes, and that really helped my deadlift increase. I think its a powerlifter technique

    Add 2-3 sets of rack pulls after your dl. Set the pins at your sticking point and do sets of 3. If you have chains use them every couple of weeks for some overload.
