As background, I increased my 10 rep max from 200 to 210 about a week ago, so my thinking is that I have allowed adequate time for recovery.

8-13-12 Update
After a 2 week break from lifting to keep my muscles fresh for 2 triathlons 6 days apart, I got right back into my deadlift routine and surprised myself with this 280 lb deadlift. Form wasn't perfect, as I would have prefered to lock my back and hold the lift for a second longer, but I'll count it.

8-20-12 Update
So I recently decided to begin a 13 week training program for the Star City Half Marathon, and consequently have decided to delay my deadlifting progression until the my next strength training cycle starts in late Nov. I did go back to the deadlift today just to see what I had and 290 was a fail. Still, with a new PR at 280 lbs set on 8-13-12 it is hard for me to be disappointed. I know what to do when the time comes and I have no reason to want to rush anything. Technically, 280 is closer to Intermediate on the charts I use than it is to Novice, so I'm getting the upgrade!
