I train a variation of one of Steve Justa's routines.
Currently I am deadlifting every day. I keep the same weight for 4 weeks and do 4 singles a day the first two weeks and 6 the next two. I then move up 15 pounds and start over.
I am doing something similar with dumbell clean and presses - 4 doubles every day for 4 weeks then move the weight up 2 1/2 pounds.
There is an exception to the "every day" - I take one day off a week, and one of the 6 days I work out I do bottom up squats instead of deadlifts. I also do a second day of bottom up squats, as well as working in a day of dips and incline benches. I also try to work out with kettlebells 2 days a week and do one-handed deads with the Ironmind's Rolling Thunder deadlift handle a couple of times a week.
I'm thinkin about going back to the routine that gave me my best results ever - start with 70% of my max on my deadlifts and do 3 singles Monday, 5 Tuesday and add two a day until doing 15 on Sunday. Bump up the weight for the next week and start over. When I felt I was getting overtrained I took a week off and started over 15 pounds more than I started last time.
