Just a tip here…

I personally don’t like to do more than 6 reps for deadlift, unless its a variation (rdl, snatch grip, speed pull, deficit, etc). I feel like its too easy to burn out before you get real work in… like you said you’ve pulled 365x2, but missed it for 1 after doing the 10 8 6 5 2 scheme.

Maybe try 135x5 185x5 (warmups), 225x5 275x5 315x5 365x3 next time.
