Default Basic Training Routine

Hello I'm new here ! I'm 5.9''/69kg/25yo and my main goal is a big Deadlift and Bench.

My lifts :

Deadlift : 163kg
Bench Press : ~99kg
Strict Curl : 53kg

I do Deadlift for Back/Legs and Bench Press for Chest/Shoulders/Triceps and finaly Curl for Biceps. I don't Squat because I don't have a rack and also because I believe there are too much overlap between Deadlift and Squat. I do my deadlift with legs // to floor so it hits my legs too.

I do 2 workouts per week :

Workout A : Deadlift 10x1 at ~85% (+2kg per week) + a static hold for grip
Workout B : Bench Press 10x1 at ~90% (+1kg per week) + a set of curls

I do singles because I want maximum strength I don't care about endurance. I keep intensity high and volume low. Volume is accorded to Prilepin Chart so I don't do unuseful volume. I do each lift only once a week to be sure I have recovered between workouts. I'll test my 1RM once every ~8 weeks.

My 2 last workouts :

A) Deadlift : 9x1x135kg, 1x137kg + static hold at 95kg
B) Bench Press : 3x1x89, 7x1x86kg + strict curl 6x41kg

Next workout on Monday !
