So you just start with your 3 rep max with no warmup at all?

I'm not sure if I would start deadlifting with my 3 max without proper warmup. Or any heavy lift for that matter.

What was your 3 rep max for the big lifts?

The nice thing about a deadlift is that, if you're unexpectedly weak that day, the weight is below you.
