7,8 355
9,10 365
11,12 375

375 is 80% of 468. My thought was that if I can work up to 3-5 singles of 375, then perhaps my max could go up to something like 440, since I am also doing a lot of heavy, hardstyle swings. My question was if I can add weight every other week without cycling back, since I am only deadlifting once a week.

sh,

i like it and think it may work. 3-5 singles done leisurely on a sunday afternoon isn't that much and your loading will be distributed. Two suggestions:1. do a ramp up of 135x5, 225x3, and 275x2 before yoru singles. once a week will not hold your groove so your ramp up is to get your groove back. 2. If these singles get REALLY slow end the cycle. In distributed loading when speed drops off quichly you are near the end.

good luck and cool experiment
