I say skip this. I couldn’t keep up with 3xwk deads, no way. Found myself doing it every 3, then 4 and finally 5 days. This isn’t programming, this is a “why not, let’s see what happens “ kind of thing. At least I didn’t get hurt.

Poorly written 2 rep scheme program with no sophistication or deload weeks.

Gained 10kg to my max, which after 10+ years of lifting is a pretty good increase; I went into it thinking that any more than that was unlikely for me. Very minimal adjustments made, I only added in some ab and rotator cuff work. There's very little room for squats (especially towards the end) so I'd recommend making peace with saying goodbye to them for a while.

Started with a 405 max, I’m about halfway through and based on how my sets of 335 moved today I don’t think I’ll be pulling 500 by the end of this. But gains are being made.

This program got me to break a 600lbs deadlift. I was stuck between 495-545 depending on the day. After this program 545 for a top set double became my baseline strength. I will probably come back to this program again after I finish the powerlifting focused one.

I wanted to push myself with this Programm and did the prescribed Programm adding 5kg every week until I failed a lift. That was after 4 Weeks due to not being able to finish the backdown sets because of global fatigue. After that I took off 2 days and Maxed out my Deadlift. My previous PR was 155kg and I was detrained because I had to take 1 month off due to outside factors. I hit 180kg after 4 Weeks with this Programm effectively adding 55lbs in 38 Days. I recommend everyone to try this Programm at least with lighter Intensity, because my Motor pattern and Technique greatly improved due to being able to slightly vary a few things like standwidth and space to the bar so I could find the optimal position for me. Additionally you get to challange yourself and push your though limits.

All of Matt Vena’s programs are excellent.

Its only been 2 weeks and I already gained 35 more pounds on my deadlift. That already speaks volumes.
