Deadlift (207.5kgs x 1 / 195kgs x 2 / 187.5kgs x 3 / 182.5kgs x 4 / 175kgs x 5 - all with versa gripps) 3 trebles @ 80.72% of 1rm

167.5kgs x 3, 3, 3

Thinking of changing my deadlift routine from the above description to training with singles as I did last night (see below) and still 3 x per week, any recommendations on set up i.e. should I do 3 all out workouts per week as I am only doing singles or should I work at a % of 1rm for two sessions with one all out workout per week?

Bear in mind I squat 7 x per week (singles) - 3 x per week up to 90% of 1rm (currently AM on deadlift days), 3 x per week up to 95% of 1rm with 1 x dropback set of 3 reps @ 85% and 1 x per week at 100% or new 1rm attempt
