405 for 8 is rough. Nice work brother!

Ever think about moving deadlifts to the end of your workout? I would assume the rest of your workout is impacted by the glycogen depletion caused by the deadlifts in that rep range.

I haven't no, as its my main lift of the day. I only do the amrap once every 3 weeks. Typically in a 3 week period its a 5x5 week 1, 12x 1-3 depending on which lift form speed, then the 3x3 plus amrap as a peak week to judge strength.

But yes I am pretty beat after the amraps. Pretty happy over the last 4 weeks my 385x9 and now 405x8 shows my DL still sitting over 500.

Of course in 3 weeks its amrap to 3-5 rep range so maybe 435-455 ish

If you are only doing it every 3 weeks then I would keep it where it is at. Don't mess with progress.

Are those deficit deadlifts going below the "floor"?

Nice work!

Do you deadlift with an over under grip?

I figured when you mentioned the pec. I stopped doing an over under a long time ago, because of that. Much higher risk of pec or bicep tear with an over under grip vice an overhand grip.
