If your open to some alternative advice mate I've been doing pyramid sets with my deads. Doing my warm ups, then 5 sets starting at 8 reps, 6, 4, 2 with progressively heavy weight. Then I go back to 5 - 6 reps with a lowered weight. As you say mate your interested in growing and I've been seeing great results with what I'm currently doing. This may just be relative to me though, just a little tip.
Also, if hypertrophy is your goal as you stated, you should be doing deads last, after all your lat work IMO.
can you explain why?
I dont want to max, my priority is hypertrophy.
Just wondering if a few warmup sets + 4 x 6-8 workset reps would be ok for deadlifts?

My back day looks like this:
PULL-UPS 2x8-10 reps bodyweight 269lbs currently
BENT BB ROWS 135lbsx20 225x15 315x10 365x6-8 405(with wraps)x 5
DEAD LIFT 315x10 405x8-10 495x5 545x5 585x5 605x3 The following week I will do rack pulls(mid-shin) 5-3-1 & pull throughs. I will do a 1RM on DL maybe once per month. I can gauge my 1RM by my triple numbers.
1 ARM DB ROWS 160lbs 3x10-12 160 is the highest the db's go at my gym.
I will take the following day off from lifting as I'm shot. Find what works for you, 5x5 and 5-3-1 routines are popular for a reason because they work. After you warm up a 4-6 rep range imho is plenty for the DL. Technique is key to the DL and please don't ever use wraps! You're only as strong as your hands.
