Another round of sumos

I think I'll kind of miss the sumo deadlifts next month.  These were fun.  I see regular deadlifts (I'm not going to "slightly raise" them, as is recommended because I don't have a trap bar) are back again.  That will be good.  With 3-rep sets, I should be seeing some good weight increases.

The lunges felt heavy today.  This is equal to the highest I've done before, and that only for one set.  This time, I did them with the same weight for all three sets. For the sumo deadlifts, I hit my highest 3-rep set, just 5 pounds off my max ever.  This is pretty cool.  I'm feeling the strongest and most well-rounded and mobile I've ever felt.
