Are you following any particular program?
My own program.
Tell us some more about it?
Its mainly linear progression. But i do some strenght skill workouts everytime i’m not feeling strong/good in the gym if i feel extra strong i just pr everything. But simple template is 4 days week 3sets 1-3reps linear progression. 4main lifts always 1:Squat 2:Hinge 3:Push 4:Pull i do
Accessory work only if any of my main lifts arent building itself up.
It looks like you’re hitting everything important, the only problem I see is lack of volume, with all your work being near-maximal. Unless you’re just showing top sets, and not warm-up and back-off sets or assistance work? You can definitely make some progress this way, but if all your work is near-maximal I think your risk of injury will start to go up as you gain strength.

Nice, strong. Is the deadlift ever your main lift of the day?
No, this was first time in a almost year doing back squat or deadlift. But now I start doing them as “assistance” lifts for lower body. Those were really easy and controlled reps just dialing in technique and slowly progressing.
