How often can you deadlift.

The answer sort of depends on the remainder of your programming.

I think you could deadlift 4 or 5 times a week if you were only deadlifting. Deadlifts tax recovery heavily, but if you do very little else, you can accomodate more work.

If you've only ever done once a week, HFP's suggestion of adding a dynamic day is a good intro into higher frequency. Speed work should not tax recovery hard.

Hu Flung Poo are you a power lifter? Going that heavy is asking for injury.

It’s only asking injury if done incorrectly.

I go once a week for heavy DL. Sometimes I’ll add dynamic work on the weekend or something

Deadlifts make you strong overall. People who say dead lifts are bad don’t know how to do it or just don’t like them.

I just can't imagine living a life where you didn't want to lift a thing because it is too heavy.

I'm the polar opposite. When I see a heavy thing, I aspire to lift it.

I have dabbled with a few weights. I just do what a bunch of internet websites tell me to do like bodybuilding.com and mensfitness

I have a nice tapered belt that helps with all of the back problems.

Lifting weights are no joke. People have been hurt deadlifting.

Either way, GAINZ!

Greyskull is a program and conjugate is a system. Fairly different. It's designed to get you stronger in the bench, deadlift, and squat.

Max effort days are your 1,2, or 3rm with a little left in the tank. You chose a variant of the lift you want to help such as front squats or SSB squats for squats and rack pulls for deadlifts. Then you can do a back off set if 80% of the days 1rm and do 5x5. Upper would be something like close grip to your bench. After the back downs, you work on accessory movements that will bring up your weaknesses for 3x10. Don't go super heavy here.

Dynamic day is like you said and focused on speed. Lower would be 8x3 at about 65% 1rm on box squats with a mini band or chains. You can go without them if you can't set that up. Then do deadlifts with 8x2 at 65% with bands or chains. After that, do the accessory movements like max effort day. Upper would be 8x3 of bench with bands or chains with the same accessory movements.

I'll link an article or video with more info when I find a good source.

Sample would be
ME lower
SSB squats to 1rm
80% of that 1rm to 5x5
SLDL 3x10
Bent over rows 3x10
Abs 3x

ME upper
CG bench to 1rm
80% of the 1rm 5x5
Dips 3x10
Chest flyes 3x10
Push ups 3x

Dynamic lower 45 sec in between sets
Box squats with bands 8x3
Deadlifts with bands 8x2
SLDL 2x10
Bent over rows 2x10
Abs 3x

Dynamic upper
Bench with bands 8x3
Dips 2x10
Chest flyes 2x10
Skullcrushers 2x10
Push ups 3x10

You would rotate your max effort movement every week with a 4 week rotation. So you can choose box squat, front squat, rack pull, SSB squat for your lower days and CG bench, floor press, pin press, or sling shot bench for upper.
