Goal Setting for 1rep max deadlifts

[muscle99]

I have done deadlifts from week 1 only in the form of 5x5 & 6 -8 rep sets until recently. The last six weeks I have been building up to a 1 rep max. I have been making 10kg to 15kg increases each time. (so far). I have just had 1 week off and am at week two now. What would be a realistic goal to have to achieve by week 8. I'm just not sure if making 10 - 15kg leaps for the next 6 weeks is possible. Also to get the most out of deadlifting should I still be doing 5x5 training & such? and maybe attempting 1rep max every 2nd week. Any thoughts would be great thanks.

i would of thought you would build up to testing ur 1RM over 4-6 weeks

ie

week 1 60%

week 2 70%

week 3 80%

week 4 90%

week 5 1rm
