This was week 3 in my deadlift program, so I did conventional speed pulls vs bands, followed by sumo block pulls and some machine work for hamstrings, adductors, and abs. Things felt a little better today, I still felt a little off (light-headed, mentally fuzzy) but the weights moved fine. I still need to work on screwing my feet into the floor on sumo and pulling my hips close to the bar, but my back positioning is getting better.
