That is the just of it. Let me know what you guys think!
I want to gain mainly strength from this workout and I am going to run it until I am done with Coan-Phillipi. Then I was thinking about going light for a 3 weeks and jumping into German Volume Training for some hypertrophy. Thanks!
Well your training should be tailored to your particular needs. But why do a specific progressive program for only the Deadlift, and then continue with a Bodybuilding type split for the rest of the body? It seems that if you want to mainly gain strength then perhaps you should do a specific program built for strength rather then going in and lifting by feel ya know?
Perhaps look into Sheiko, or 5x5 or 5/3/1 or just doing Coan for deadlifts and Dr. Squat for squat and then Smolov JR for bench? That way you could have a leg type day, a chest type day and a back day. Then your fourth day could be everything else that isnt hit through out those four previous day.
Im not familiar with the Coan-Phillipi deadlift routine. When running it, what does it say to do for yourbench and squat? I guess it doesnt look bad, although I would seperate chest and quads. Squatting absolutely drains me, so I couldnt put two large muscles groups like that together. The best of luck to you.

I didn’t want to overload myself ya know? Like adding all these different Workout routines together seems like a bit too much. That’s why I tried to build a workout schedule around the Dead lift routine. But I mean to say that I would run the for 10 weeks for strength and then shoot for size after that.

It is designed for 10 weeks. And keep in mind my stats; 18 y/o 5 foot 11 160 lbs.

If you want a big pull, that looks like a great program, but if you want strength all around, I would look to another system. There are about 637 of them, each having their own thread on this forumn and each of them have people who have made excellant gains by following it

Well my main goal is actually a better pull and dead lifting does make you, overall, stronger. Thanks for the input bud!
I ran that routine last summer. Gained about 70 pounds or so on my deadlift (finally hit 5 plates). Definitely take it easy with the rest of your body though. Put everything else on maintenance. I don’t know what you can handle intensity wise, but listen to your body. If you can, try and have a rest day right after your deadlift day, just nice for recovery. Other than that, everything looks fine, just don’t go too wild with the volume on everything else.
Since you want size and strength, I would recommend running 5/3/1 and just sticking to it. Program hopping is a big mistake. Pick a useful, proven, versatile program, work hard and stick with it for as long as it gives you gains (this could be years).
Deadlifting in conjunction with a well balanced training program will make you stronger over all. Focusing specifically on the deadlift while neglecting to properly program the rest of your training is a recipe for a plateau in strength.

You realize that Smolov JR has you benching (or squatting or deadlifting, whatever lift you’re using for it) four days a week, right? Dr. Squat’s 80 day program (which is the only Dr. Squat program I could think of that you could be referencing) is also a multi-day program for all three powerlifts. Your suggestion would have him lifting 9 days a week.
