Granted, 50 isn't that high of a volume, but I tend to keep my deads under 30 reps including warm ups. My working sets are typically 4x5, although I've been using undulating periodization lately.

i don't know. you would have to ask the authors of the routine. i do know it is a target to work towards and a one time goal to aspire to as doing this routine daily would lead to burnout.
but that is beside the point for this topic. what i've noticed is as people ramp up their routine and stick to it over the long term, they learn how to mix it up and what to shoot for, how to increase intensity, etc.
i would expect the same from socks, the routine i posted is a fundamental one,
pull ups
push up
dead lifts
a bit accessory work
after this gets stale, socks with have a much better idea of what works for him and can tailor these and mix them up over time, reps, days, etc.
