Thanks man, I got my singlet in the mail last night, looks fresh. I'll be sure to take vids of all my lifts.
Right now I am as strong as ever, I just have one concern. Making weight.
When I wake up I weigh 198 on the nose, I'm debating if I should take laxatives on the morning of the meet to make weight if I think I am close.
Will that negatively effect my lifts? Provided I drink ample water to account for dehydration.

Not killin anything right now, just been lazy the past few days sittin on my ass.
Hitting in hard tomorrow I suppose with my weak ass low volume routine...
By the way where do you go to find meets? I might look into one soon if they have a novice/ameteur category or something. I'd suck ass but at least I'd get used to how it goes.

On the left column you can do meets by whichever state your from.

What exactly are you trying to do right now? You just want to maintain? Or you want to try to increase but mainly focused on your other lifts? Or what?

Haha I have not been dead lifting for over a month now and have been continuing the make gains.
I love dead lifting. Love it.
I just do not no how to incorporate them into a program because they are so damn weird. I feel like they are too exhausting and I end up going strong for the first three weeks. Then I will start accumulating stress on my back so that I will start waking up with a sore lower back in the mornings, then my dead lift days start regressing till I felt stronger a month ago than I did four dead lift workouts later.
My goal is to make gains on deadlifts without impacting my recovery, I was thinking doing a single heavy triple set followed by speed dead lifts each week. I just want to be able to do them without fatiguing myself too the point that it starts impacting my overall recovery.
I will deadlift for the first time in a month tomorrow. I want to hit 465x3. Just leave it all on the platform haha.

What if you did a combination of block/rack pulls with the bar just below the knee and speed deads? With that you'll be pulling heavy and getting used to heavy weights while working on technique and speed from the floor with the speed deads, while at the same time your lower back should remain fresher since your back will be more upright with the block/rack pulls than with normal deads and obviously speed deads won't bother you.
Something like:
W1: Work to a heavy triple on block pulls in 5-8 sets total, 3x3 speed deads from the floor@50% of your max
W2: Beat W1's triple in 5-8 sets, 3x3 speed deads from the floor@55% of your max
W3: Beat W2's triple in 5-8 sets, 3x3 speed deads from the floor@60% of your max
W4: You can either deload the block pulls here and then pick back up in W5 or you can continue and try to beat W3's triple, reset the speed deads back to 3x3@50% here
And continue this on until you plateau or whatever, in minicycles.
Maybe you can start off with like 405 as your first triple target if you don't know where to begin.
