Using a predicted max on the deadlift

Hello guys and gals,

I'm starting to run sheiko again after a few years off trying higher frequency training/programming.

I've read in the forum that inflated maxes could work but cannot find any info on anyone using predicted maxes?

Basically I'm starting the program in 3 days time and haven't had time to test my deadlift, my predicted max is higher than my previous 1rm attempt, would this been ok to use? And could I adjust if it feels to light/easy or too hard?

Regards,

Play it save use a current max, you can always adjust if you feel it's necessary.

Coach Sheiko is not a fan of inflated maxes. In fact, he dropped my training max due to too much error in technique. The beauty of this program is something that lies in the practicing of technique and the accumulated fatigue with volume. Just run your numbers and see what happens

Thanks for the input guys....well I decided to try using my estimated 1rm and it feels easy so I'm going to stick with it and see how it goes

I also wouldn't recommend inflated maxes at all, it's better just to do more volume if you find it too easy.

I inflated my bench max by around 7kg in hopes of helping my bench, I ended up straining my shoulder and taking 6 months off benching before it got better, so I'm further behind because of inflated maxes.
