No way, your hamstrings are too strong. I think a little overloading the top with both your squat and deadlift will help both. Block or rack pulls if you don't have bands. They'll help with that sticking point where your back starts to round and you need to get your hips thru. I also think over emphasizing pulling the shoulder blades together when setting up helps avoid getting over the bar.
What does Mike think?

Idk. I'll talk to him on Sunday. He never has given me any squat/dead variation though. Like at all. I think I need more dead lift volume period.

My adjustment felt good yesterday but I still have a ton of soreness. I'm sure it'll be fine for next weekend.

1x1x205 sumo. No programmed I just wanted to feel the difference on my back. I'm going to give sumo deadlifting a run after this meet to see if I can get around this hyper mobile back stuff.

30 mins on a bike thingy with a back rest.

Swimming. Actual laps for 15 minutes (slowest possible) and then playing with the kids.
