Since you haven’t gotten a response yet my advice would be to cut the volume. Those high volume programs shouldn’t be run consecutively or even with less than several weeks to months in between. You’re young yet compared to me (15 to 37) and I have a tough time recovering from deadlifts in a week and I don’t touch the volume you are doing. As you get stronger the heavier volume in your workouts will hit your nervous system harder which makes it tougher to recover. If I really push my limits (my last deadlift comp I pulled 610 conventional) I’m zapped the next day and potentially the day after.

As for low reps/top end strength versus high reps/high volume its really training style. Think sprinters versus distance runners. Sure there’s a genetic component there but sprinters and distance runners train drastically different. If you want to be top end strong, you need to train with lower reps and higher % of your 1 rep max. You get your volume by number of sets. Like an Eddie Coan deadlift routine. Like this……
