I have been doing that since may last year, but at beginning I was working much less, maybe max 55h per week.

I have been doing 70h+ per week for 4 weeks now, and I don't think I can do much more, you really feel that working ask a lot of energy.

But to be honest, 55-60h is possible to maintain a very long period of time, since the 26 of september last year, I worked 2682 hours, which is in average 7,34 hours per day, 51,4 hours per week, and I'm not dead (yet)

Yes. if you have a balanced, reasonably healthy life style it is absolutely doable. I am able to handle it in my early 30s. In my 20s with all the partying going on it was sometimes a problem to stay focused 12+ hours on a single day book-ended by good rest.
