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.

that's a lot of fancy words for saying functional training.. haha
I keep mine simple, i do my dead lifts on leg days because they work those the hardest. I also do ONE warm up per work out.. so if i start off with squats, i'll do one warm up set with lighter weight of 10 reps and then go straight to sets after that--3 sets between 4-6 reps. My next exercise doesn't get a warm up, why? Because you area already warmed up from the first exercise. Saves time and energy for the working sets.
