I'm doing ICF 3x5 (I'm cutting), but there is only 1x5 (+ warm-up sets) for deadlift, because Blaha says it's too big pressure on your CNS. Similiar in SS and SL routines. However, I noticed that many anons have 3x5 deadlift in their routines. Where is the truth? Is 1 DL set jut for dyels and later you can add another sets?
I only DL once a week and usually do 2x5
sometimes I go CRAZY and do 1x5, 1x4 and 1x3

I'm also doing ICF on a cut and did 3x5 deadlifts one day with the weight I usually use for my 1x5, I regretted it the next day.

Zero sets.
Deadlifting is not worth the risk.

Pearl harbor says hello
I work up to three heavy singles then do 5x5 twice a week

Depends. I do 4x5(3 warm-up, 1 workset) followed by 1x3(semi-PR) and 1xPR.
I've realized that this works the best for me and made me reach 4 plate and now I'm 2.5kg away from 5 plate.
I have a friend who only does 6x2 and he can 1x6 5 plate easily.
When I was progressing from a single plate I couldn't do more than 3x5(first 2 being warm-ups) yet I've seen men who progressed with 5x5 and had awesome gains.

Not realizing that deadlift is the best exercise to prevent back injury.
Enjoy breaking your back when you lift a box
I like doing stiff-legged deadlifts with straps
10x3 or 5x5 depending on my mood

You're probably a beginner. So stick to 1x5. There is a reason all these beginner programs have you do only one set.
What the fuck is the point in doing only 1x5? How the fuck are you supposed to make progress when you basically don't even start doing the exercise?
>>35579871
you make a lot of progress doing 1x5
>>35580020
But surely that progress is minimal compared to the progress you make with 5x5.
>>35580056
well, i could put 2~~4kg consistenly on dl when i started
>>35579871
My deadlift went from 65kg to 145kg in 3 months doing 1x5
>>35580056
Well yeah, if you could 5x5 enough weight to make progress every time you deadlift. Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. You can't recover in time from a 3x5 let alone a 5x5. Keep in mind that SS style programs focus on making sure beginners can quickly gain strength yet still recover, and get past noob weights ASAP. More sets detract from efficiency.

Just keep doing it and you'll see I fuckin swear
i did 5x5 every weekday. i would alternate light days and heavy days. my max was 4.5 plates. i didn't progress that quickly with this lift, but the strength i gained from it easily carried over to my other lifts and in the sports i was doing at the time. easily my fave exercise. even more than the squat.
>>35576230
>that fucking form
This is why everyone says trapbar deadlifts are a squat. Well no shit if you do a squat, then it's going to be a squat.
i do 2x5 three times a week
>>35579871
Because you DO make progressieve.
Also, the progress you make on squats carries over very well to deadlifts
