Agree with AG here as it relates to oly. You can max out snatch/c&j weekly and many coaches have their lifters do so, at least when they're not coming close to a meet, where they taper I think. I think freddbird does something along those lines?
Obviously doing this on a frequent basis with the DL/squat seems far from optimal. I personally wouldn't want to try to pull a true 1RM on deads more than a handful of times a year. Same for squats.
