I only do it once per week. Squats on Monday, deadlift on Thursday. Thanks but I compare myself to Franco colombu, who is also 5'5" and could deadlift cars and 780# for reps. serious competition right there.

Sometimes I'll deadlift twice a week and Monday would be to work up to your 1rm, then do 5x2 @ 85%1rm. Or if you're looking to build some serious power you could do 5x3 @70-80%1rm followed by a 30 sec skiErg/airdyne/row at an all out sprint (4-6 min rests in between rounds).

Thursdays I would do a bunch of lighter weight (35#,53#,90#,135#) straight leg deadlifts supplemented with box jumps, sprints... maybe throw in a 2000m row for time at the end...

Defenitelymcheck out Elliot Hulse' videos on Deadlifting. He's an expert on the deadlift. I saw a video of him pulling 315# with an abnormally fat bar. It looked ridiculous.

But the one workout I do from time to time, that will give you unshakeable confidence (maintaining frame like we always talk about here), is the 100 squat challenge. I don't care how big or bad you are, it will test your soul and it's one hell of a psychological transformation. Load the bar to 135# and squat it 100 times. Simple right? The catch is, every time you rack the bar, the penalty is 60 seconds all out on the airdyne (by all out I mean as fast as humanly possible). Then you immediately throw the weight back on and get to squatting. So the rest is never really a rest and it's a harsh mental trip. Most guys get through it in 4 to 8 racks, my first time was 13. If you can maintain frame through that, you can overcome any social anxiety with women or whatever.

Don't be afraid to push yourself with deadlifts. You can strain your back and actually bend it a tiny bit when you're maxing out / going for broke. You really need to be in tune with how your back/spine is doing though, go a little too far and you can get an injury pretty easily.

Or, are you having trouble holding onto the bar, but feel like your back can actually do more? In this case your grip strength is bottlenecking the lift, and you should use lots of chalk, or straps if you feel so inclined (don't want to stop training your grip though... so don't use straps). You can try some of those palm crushers and work on your grip strength. And for the love of god you better be using mixed grip when lifting.

I had the same problem with bench. At one point I was deadlifting 445, squatting like 380-390 for 1RM, and benching just 235. This isn't out of the ordinary considering I did Starting Strength for like 2 years. Once you get your deadlift and squats up, then you need to move on and start focusing on upper body and arms. SS, StrongLifts etc are just to build a beginning base. Then you have to move outwards and flesh out the smaller muscles. You also will want to try out different rep/set schemes for benching / upper body.

Also, eat a shit ton of food. Whole milk, hamburgers, steaks, fried chicken. A lot of people don't realize how much food really helps with bulking.

EDIT: Also, make sure you go ass to grass for squats, or at least work on getting there.
