Here's a challenge I can really strive for! I'm doing the OHP one, but for 1 plate instead of two. However, my best deadlift is 300 for 1 rep and I could have done more, but that was all the weight I had. Did 280 for 3 reps today, I'm going to stop squatting first, they've both gotten heavy enough to produce a notable negative effect.
Best set of 5 reps was with 275, but on a standard barbell, not Olympic. I'm also getting 2 45 pound plates for my b-day today, so I'll be able to get close to 405 for a single without buying many more plates.
I've noticed heavy squats and deadlifts in the same week can really mess my CNS up, unless I decrease the volume on accessory lifts. It's taken me a while to get to where I can train both heavy and not be dragging afterwards. I think this is where GPP training is very important. The better general shape I'm in the better I can recover from heavy deads and squats. That's me personally anyway.
