Great workout, first time deadlifting

[casualbb]

My workout yesterday just ruled. I don't know how else to say it. I felt really strong and energized, so much so that I almost doubled volume, adding sets.

After I finished my double workout, I still felt like I had a lot in me, so I loaded up 135 on a barbell and decided I'd work on deadlifts, as I'd never done them before.

I probably did about 15 singles, switching between regular and sumo style to try and get a feel for which is more natural. I can definitely tell I'll be able to handle more weight regular style, but sumo feels more natural. Both feel very similar to a squat though.

Deadlifts rule! Are you planning on sticking with one style, or alternating sumo and conventional?

I like weight, so I'm sticking with conventional for the time being. I'll continue to do practice singles after my workouts, and in a couple weeks I'll try for a 1rm.
