Wow. Pavel is all about functional strength and doesn't care too much about size. I would take that with a grain of salt. It's funny that he would not normally advocate (from what I've read) going until form is impaired but when it comes to "size" he's suggesting that on deads and dead variations. It makes me wonder.

I've always thought he had a significant bias against "size" for size sake. I would never recommend doing deads basically to failure which is what this is (or close to it) or at least I wouldn't recommend doing it very often or with that type of volume. If your want to be able to progress well on deads without ending up with crappy technique and injuries it's not a good idea. But with a heavier deadlift comes size of some sort.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
