    Am I doing it right?

    So far this is the most helpful community I've seen on the interwebs.

    I know these threads can be kind of lame, but I would really appreciate input from the knowledgeable people here.

    If there's anything on here that looks dumb, or if you have any ideas for changes to reach my goals, let me know.

    I was doing mostly 5x5 SS type training before this. I just finished a month of this new, higher rep training, and I feel AMAZING. More food, more days in the gym, life is good. I want to make revisions before going for another few months like this.

    Stats:
    183lbs @ ~@14bf (hard to say, just a guess)
    5'11"
    22 Years Old
    Training almost two years properly
    No AAS/PH/DS use

    Short Term Goals:
    Hypertrophy
    405lb Deadlift (Currently 365lb 1RM)

    Long Term Goals:
    1000lb+ "Big Three" (Currently 365lb DL, 285lb Squat, 225lb Bench)
    225lb Powerclean (Currently an UGLY 165lb)
    190lbs @ 12% bf

    deadlifts twice a week with rackpulls added all in the same week, week after week might be a bit much if you want to bring your numbers up. If you have difficulty making deadlift gains less might be better in the long run.

    Yeah my traps have been sore 24/7 for the past couple weeks. Maybe I'll alternate rack pulls and the PR 1RM DL every weeks on tuesdays?
