Deadlift keeps going up

[crazeensleepee]

This week deadlift up to 245. My goal is 250. I did 5x5 245 with ease tonight. I started at 205 struggling. Weight is 160 do I keep raising the weight or stick with my 250? Been at it for 5 weeks.

Keep going up 5lbs/week until it's no longer "easy." A lot of people on here, including myself, suffered back injuries from jumping up weight too fast. Once it starts getting tough to get that last set of 5 out, you might want to think about slowing it down until your body gets used to moving that kind of weight around.

Thanks. Guess I'll keep raising the weight. I think I'll aim to make dead my big lift.

good thing to aim for. deadlifts are an awesome lift and work your body to the extreme.
