Off-season Deadlifts

Below is a video of some sumo deadlifts from this past weekend. This was a PR for me, as I hit 495 x 12 reps. It's still nowhere close to my friends Doug (405 x 30) and Kurt (545 x 14), but it's pretty good for me. My off-season is going very well so far - my strength is as good as it's ever been and I feel like I'm making some solid muscle gains. My weight is hovering in the low to mid-190s (eating lots of food is fun!). I enjoyed the GVT split, but am now back on my traditional 2-week split and am considering implementing a Sheiko powerlifting split in the near future.
