Any 3 day / week deadlift focused programs?

Curious if there are any programs y’all have enjoyed more to do on a cut/calorie deficit than others? Also trying to decide on number of days per week. Feeling rested and no pain so good from that perspective.
Glad I’m not the only one who struggles with front squats. They definitely hit the quads hard which is cool.
What is SJ? Stacked and jacked? That one is intimidating based off ppl saying it’s the hardest one

Have now done DB strength, Squatober (not in October), Oak Tree, Mass that Lasts and just started Brick House. All great!
Current training maxes at 193lb bodyweight:
S: 350
B: 295
D: 375
I started a few months back with a very realistic discounted training max after taking a while off with an injury. I'm happy with the progress made and have been able to nail all the main lifts. However, on Brick House W1D3 today, the front squats killed me! I wasn't even close to getting the prescribed % and reps. I'm taking it as more of a reflection that I suck at front squats rather than a plateau. I think I'll just keep pushing along and use lighter weight on front squat. My other lifts still feel good although the frequency of Brick House I can tell is going to be killer.

within a day? as in, on day 1 start at 65% and if it feels good go up in each successive set 'til it doesn't feel good or I hit the top of the range?
Just finished up Oak Tree 3x per week and really enjoyed it. Excited for more workouts per week and will be starting mass that lasts next.
Looking at Mass that Lasts... does anyone have insight into how you've approached the exercises that have a % range? for example bench press is 65%-72% on day 1 and deadlift is 70%-75%.
My first thought would be just to start on the lower end of that range and then go up as the program goes on, but there is already progression built into increasing the ranges as the program goes on. Is this unique to Mass that Lasts?

Been travelling away from my home gym for a month so I ran DB strength. Just finished week 4.
This was my first program from PPSA. I found it from a friend who was running Squatober which I couldn't do while travelling.
I enjoyed the program. It trains legs every day and also seemed like it had a lot of arms and rows. Felt light on pressing which I was ok with for a month.
The supersets on day 1 of each week absolutely gassed me. Heavy RFESS are no joke! I was also not used to doing that many supersets in general. Very tiring, especially on the first day of each week.
Next up I am going to do Squatober. Felt left out the past month!

Do y’all have any recommendations for YouTube and/or podcast content? I’d love if AA had a recurring podcast where he shared advice and content related to his programs. Some of the content I’ve enjoyed is starting strength, renaissance periodization, Alex Bromley, and Jeff Nippard.
Not really meant as a reply to this post - but couldn't figure out how to post without replying....
I have a question about progression from month/month and program to program. I've seen the recommended +5 lbs for upper body and +10 lbs for lower body after completing a program. Not sure whether that came from PPSA or 5/3/1... but my question is that wouldn't the program you are following potentially impact this and call for a program specific approach? For example, if you just completed Benchamin Franklin I would think that maybe your bench max may have gone up by more than if you just finished Squatober or another lower body focused program. And your squat max would probably go up more after Squatober as opposed to Arm Farm, etc. etc. Thoughts?
