My suggestion?  Manageable chunks.  Don’t go too crazy on a big set of a certain movement and then not be able to finish the set without a ton of rest.  Rather quick stops to allow you to get right back to work.

Just like we did on Bench this is our last time hitting our Sumo Deadlift before our 5X5 re-test.  As with the Bench, the goal today is to start with a heavy set of 5, followed by a heavier set of 4, then an even heavier set of 3, then an even heavier double. We then finish off with the heaviest weight for today and hit a single.  If that turns into a new 1RM, sweet!  If not, just make it heavy for today.
