    Deadlifts vs. Deficit Deadlifts

    I've been thinking about adding a set straight after my regular deads. Is there a set deficit to go by? Anyone using these and having success? How big is your deficit? Can you do these Sumo style or do they benefit conventional only? What weakness do they target?
