is there a particular reason you're omitting deads from your routine?

also, another reason you may have been stale and stuck at the same weights for a while now is the fact that you've been training with a fairly high volume on 4 consecutive days. generally that is pretty tough to recover from in the long term unless you're really advanced and/or doing gear.

have you checked out the threads on the "Texas Method"?
it is geared for intermediates. Also check out Madcow's geocities pages. tons of great info for intermediates.
