I agree w/ SS - Mon/Wed would bury me.

i'd rather pull on monday and then friday to keep some time to recover. monday and wednesday might be quite taxing.

so if you were doing the typical 5x5 as I am. How would you tweak it too fit this in? I like doing my dead on Wednesday as it is a light squat day, and I can train harder on the dead. if I move the dead to Friday, I will be doing it after I hit heavy triples on the squat.

sub deads for squats on mondays and fridays. squat on wednesday.

well I dont want to lose focus on my squats. why not just some extra assistant work after my main lifts on Monday and Wednesday?

try to cycle between deads and squats for a while. see how it works out... that's how alot of bros do it.

like the other guys said it seems to be ur grip...since u said it was your grip...

use straps for a while to progress your dead, and then start working grip separate...

your grip wont suffer that bad, i dont work grip and even though i use straps my unstrapped deadlift still goes up as my body grows

What little I know about the 5x5 leads me to believe overtraining is the culprit.
Few good deadlifters pull more than once a week.

Agreed... I've switched to a 3 day a week program and heavy sled dragging for GPP and supplement as a dynamic day... We do good mornings about every workout, mostly as a supplemental exercise. We wave conventionals off a 3" platform, partials just below the knees, romanian deadlifts, stuff like that... always switching up between sumo and conventional...
