I'm taking the next 12+ weeks off from strongman events and training primarily for hypertrophy with a slight strength emphasis. I'm in my "off-season" and looking to put on some size over the upcoming months and into next year. I'm working with teammate Mike Mastell on my programming.

These deadlifts felt really good for no more than I've been pulling from the floor. Usually my deadlift feels best when I'm pulling from the floor more frequently. So I'm happy with where I am on these at the moment.
