There aren't many routines out there that makes the deadlift its centerpiece. After 4 months on Rippetoes novice program where squatting was everything, I felt instinctively I needed to deadlift a lot more. Which was why I did both the Bear and the Delorme-inspired hyperthrophy program. If you want to deadlift more than anything else, you have only these two. Unless of course you want to invent something of your own, which I do not feel qualified to do.

Whenever it starts to bulge out too much, I walk with my hands in my pockets and restrain it with one of them.

Added on December 19, 2009, 5:10 pmI got plenty of traps and a massive upper back out of this. With Rippetoe, no traps.

From my  research I think you should probably focus on just adding sets until you reach 20 sets of 80% then add 10% to your 100% set.
