    Barbell squats are much more exhausting imo... I am talking at least parallel and ideally full squats; not quarter squats like most people do.

    on my deadlift days i also like to add some very heavy rack pulls to the mix. usually last working set on deadlifts is 405 for 6-10 reps depending on how i feel, then ill start with 405 rack pulls for 8 reps and keep going up to 495 for 6 reps, 545 for 4 reps, 565 for 2 reps. i feel like a beast when i get done, but pay for it later, lol.

    99% of the people pulling big deadlifts know how to squat too.

    Cheers for that. Sounds perfect, I'm on a deficit too. Going to browse amazon right now :)

    Make sure you buy to second edition of 5/3/1 and read that, before you read Beyond 5/3/1. Beyond is a supplimental book that adds to the original program. Wont make sense to you if you don't read the original first.
