This was a really intense workout. Except for the sumo set with 365 all of my deadlifts felt fast. I decided to alternate some conventional pulls with sumos to keep my body balanced. I found that my conventionals just flew up. 405 felt like speed work to me. I was very pleased with this workout and I think I will keep adding in variety like this to keep me physically and mentally fresh.
