Heavy deadlift and the cube method

Brian and I are tinkering around with a variant of the cube method.  Today it was a heavy deadlift session with light overhead for volume.  Deadlifting from the floor culminated with a burnout set on 515 lbs for 5 reps, but we followed that with some heavy rack pulls up to about 600 lbs.  Here is a video of the 515:



It felt pretty good.  I consider this progress since in the last year, this was close to my max, and now I'm pulling it for reps, and with some ease.

Overhead we stayed very light but got enough volume in that I'm feeling it today!  Here is the workout which in all took close to 140 minutes:
