Oh okay. Sweet, thanks for that extra info
no doubt. good luck and work hard. ALSO something that works for me. I don't go above 5 reps on DL, ever! form turns to shit and back injuries are always a concern when working the posterior chain. I do speed reps. for example a speed workout for me is 12-20 singles at 405 with 30-60 seconds rest between reps to reset form and catch my breath.

I'm currently doing the SL5x5
So yeah I won't be doing more then 5 reps, and I don't understand what you mean with 12-20 singles :/ I'm new to this, yeah I take a 45sec break between sets each time, keep up intestisty but allow for a breather n reset
Wait you said break between reps? :/ your gonna need to explain this alittle more to me, I'm clueless atm :/ 405 is 202.5kg roughly which is all I'm understanding lol :/

OK sorry for being vague.
step 1: warm up
step 2: load 405 pounds on bar.
step 3: set up and and perform my deadlift with perfect form and rip it off the ground (hold at the top for a one-Mississippi-two Mississippi)
step 4: drop weight and rest for 30-60 seconds
step 5: repeat steps 3 and 4 12-20 times depending on how I feel. Once I can do 20 reps with 30 seconds rest I bump the weight up 5-10%

Ooh I get you, 20 reps? Thought you done no more the 5? :/
haha oh sorry. PER SET is what I meant. my set's are singles so: one Rep=1 set x 20 sets. I would NOT do 2 sets of 10 reps to get my 20. does that make sense.

I warm up overhand and do my work sets with a mixed grip. I don't believe in using straps. If you can't hold the weight, it's too heavy, is what I believe.
good point. if you can't hang on with the chalk then lower the weight.
