zen i notice that you lockout your knees rather early in the movement,
thats like a normal deadlift in the first half and the goes straight legged deadlift for the second half.
i wonder that workout must have brutalized your hamstrings ? i cannot even imagine sitting the next day lol

Yeah my deadlift gets the quads out of the way early. I really don't know whether this is that big of a plus or minus. It might be from strong quads, it might be from my particular biomechanics, I don't actually know. One key to endurance work is things like changing the lift around a little to hit the stuff that hasn't already died yet. Some coaches will tell you that's why you don't want to do endurance work. I'll tell you that if it's a set you can handle, then that's why you do want to do endurance work.
That sort of thing has never really hammered my hamstrings or quads. In my case, it's the lumbar extensors that take the beating. It can be different for different people.

Well that gets you your 350# dead with quite a bit of room to spare.

For those who are not at the 350 yet, I found that as my Squat improved, so did my Deadlift. My Squat improved because of the 3-4 weeks I spent doing 20 rep Squats, and also the RDLs played some part.

About 170. You can check that entry in my journal.
There would normally be some EPOC from that too, but I didn't record that. I would have to pull the actual heart rate records off a backup disk somewhere.

I did not do deadlifts last week (Feb 11) due to moving the three days prior... I had already done about a thousand of them moving boxes, furniture, etc.... 
I was very pleased with my lifts yesterday. Just a few weeks ago I was struggling to get 275 for a few reps in one set....
I'll probably do another week of volume before trying my next milestone...315... aka the 6 train wheel lift... 
Focused more on volume.

That means I must add 10kg to my deadlift in one and a half months.  To maintain that statement, of course.
