First time sumo deadlifts

I really hate the struggle I have getting into position in a conventional deadlift, I desperately need to clue my posterior chain into the fact that it's supposed to be contributing more then my lazy arse wants to and I lift heavy objects sumo style anyway, so I thought I'd give it a try.

3 x 10 x 60kg sumo deadlifts

Tore up my shins until I pulled my socks waaaaaay up.
Couldn't really straighten up at the top and kept putting my hands out too wide.
Absolutely fantastic to get my hips moving though.

Then
21-15-9
40kg power cleans
Ring rows with feet elevated

9:36

Ring rows with feet up are hard!
