EDIT 10/22:

Done heroing it for now. Back to multiple reps on the big lifts. Since I'm doing more volume I'm taking a chance with this program I'm going to mess with:

"10/8/5/5/3/1"

WEEK 1: 10 reps at 70%/60%/50%
WEEK 2: 8 reps at 75%/65%/55%
WEEK 3: 5 reps at 80%/70%/60%
WEEK 4: 5 reps at 85%/75%/65%
WEEK 5: 3 reps at 90%/80%/70%
WEEK 6: 1RM at 95%+

Starting this next week. I'm just going to 5RM this week.

Today's session:

135x5
185x5

I can't understand for the life of me why you do so many Dead Lift sets. A few warm-up sets sure, but 16 sets is far and beyond overkill.

On a different note: Making positive gains on most of my upper body lifts but am kinda lagging on my Squats as of late.

Finally hit my goal of a 2 plat bench press and a 155lb shoulder press, so I'm happy. I put a little extra weight on just cause I literally cannot stop eating. I'll probably start mixing in some more sprinting days or swimming a couple days a week pretty soon here.
