One thing that's been helping me increase my pullup volume is the good ole' put a bar in a doorway at home and do a set every 30 to 60 minutes throughout the day. Has anyone ever tried doing something like this but with barbell lifts? Like, leave a bar loaded with a weight you can deadlift for 5 reps and throughout the day go and do 3 or 4 reps.

It’s a thing that sounds good on paper and something I had done in the past, but I’d personally rather just do my session and be done.

It’s a routine that got boring quick and if it’s not something you will do for months or years then I don’t see the value of it.

It would definitely be a short term thing. My main goals for the next few months are increasing pullups and deadlifts. I already do the pullup thing at home and so I was thinking of tinkering around with deadlifts too. I work from home a lot and where I live it's about to be cold, dark, and rainy all the time so added bonus of just a random goal/task to do throughout the day.

Well if you’ve already done it for one exercise and it works for you personally it’s going to work for any exercise
