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.

*I am going to alternate dynamic work each week between the Pull workout and Push workout for squats & DLs. I should have at least one day of rest between Pull and Leg workouts, but I will eventually alternate dynamic work for those. Also, I will be alternating speed work between military press and bench press each Push workout.

I'm not really up on everything your doing ross, but it looks pretty good. Its been a long time since I did a push/pull routine, keep hittin it hard!
