Working on another thing I suck at, Sumo deadlift. I think the most I've ever pulled sumo is 600, probably all back, while my conventional PR is 777. So, I worked on actually keeping my hips underneath me and actually making them look good.

Sumo DL: 135x5 225x5 315x2x3 365x2x2 405x2x1 455x1 485x1

All of them were pretty easy (kind of).

'Till I figure out what meet I am going to do next, I plan to keep a deadlift day in my weekly programming and just rotate variations. I've always felt the best deadlifting when I program a specific day for it on a weekly basis. percentage wise, I base everything off of how I feel that day.
