Yeah, I'm hoping this. Wendler repeatedly emphasizes start light, progress slow. So we'll see what happens. Hopefully I'll add 60kg to my squat and deadlift 5RMs in 12 months.
tbh, I would be stoked to get them up even 30 or 40kgs.

If I were doing them, I'd work up to a few heavy singles (select weights by feel), and if I wanted more volume drop down a bit more and do like 3x3/5x3 or something of that sort. In which case, I'd work up to the heavy singles before DL's, and then get the volume in after DL's, which would save some energy for heavy DL's.
Um, yeah, you're right, I should be doing them before deads. I like the sound of the bolded.
Or what about doing heavy singles before deads, then getting some volume in after squats on squat day? tbh, I'm pretty keen to not do leg curls.
My cleans are prob not as trained as my other lifts. I've worked up (again) to 5x3x80kg. Could maaaybe do 90kg for a single. All time PR is 92.5kg. Done a few months ago.
