Thanks. I have been goal-less for a while now, so I figured this might help to motivate me.

Well, it just so happens that doing accessory work this way supports my strongman training. Metabolic training and all.

What is your current max DL?

I just looked back in my journal and this was the last time I did deadlifts (last lift is a PR, but I could have pulled a little more):

6/19/08 Deadlifts - 1X5 275, 5X1 315, 325, 335, 345, 365

So you have been off of deadlifts for a month? Might not really be an issue so long as you have been going after your squats with gusto. It will be interesting to see if you can get there. 40-ish lbs is a pretty hefty jump, but it isn't impossible by any means. Well, at least not at this stage of your training. Give it another few years and 40lbs in 2 years time might feel like winning the lottery :)

Ross, keep doing what you are doing and pulling 400 will happen before you know it. Good work and keep it going. :)

Also, I will be alternating speed work between military press and bench press each Push workout.
