Peak Deadlift

10 weeks of advanced block-periodized deadlift training. The floor is pulled twice a week — one Max Effort heavy day rotating through deficit, snatch-grip, paused, rack pull, and sumo variations, plus one Sheiko-style volume day. The other two days are a dedicated squat day and an upper body day so your squat and bench don't decay during the block. Block 1 (weeks 1-4) is accumulation. Block 2 (weeks 5-8) intensifies with heavier variations and paused FSL after the main lift. Week 9 is a taper. Week 10 is opener / 2nd / 3rd 1RM attempts. SCHEDULE: Train 4 days a week. Recommended split: Mon (ME Pull) / Wed (Squat) / Fri (Upper Body) / Sun (Volume Pull). The two pull days are 5+ days apart by design — deadlift CNS demand is brutal and clustering them invites injury. Always at least 1 rest day between any two sessions. The Wednesday squat day and Friday upper day are NOT optional — they keep your other big lifts intact and let your lower back recover between floor pulls.
