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
^^ sounds intresting, will give it a try

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.
