So i went and shocked my back with Dead lifts. Felt good and my back was burning and stinging. This is what i did:

2 sets of 135lbs (10reps)
2 sets of 185lbs (7reps)
2 sets of 225lbs (4reps)
1 set of 315lbs (1rep) I wanted to go for two sets, but it was hard to lift up for my 1st rep. So 2nd time i tried to lift, i got nothing. Lifting this shit took me out, i was like FUCK THIS, and sat down for a while.

Sounds like you don't do these often. You don't want to screw up your lower back, so you may want to ease into these. Maybe sticking w/3 sets of 10 & the same weight and work up from there. If you don't do them often, I'm sure you'll see a pretty quick progression. Just don't fuck around and hurt your back cause you'll regret it.

I do deadlifts every week, tis week i went all out becuz i felt like it, lol (stupid i know) but ya my parents tell me to watch out for my back. But ya thx for the heads up. Next week i will just do my regular 4 sets @185. I just wanted to c f this would shock my back and stimulate massive growth.

Personally I always lift hard on deads. Besides two warm up sets, I never do more than 5 or 6 reps in a set. I try to throw on extra plates every DL session too. Fuck it if I hurt my back, I havent so far.

On a side note I always do my deads in front of a mirror. Even though I always try and go heavy, I won't do a weight if my form has to be off to do it.
