Tried this deadlift variation last night and I think I gotta keep it in my routine. The stability factor with deadlifts combined with the technique made this variation a lot easier for me. I felt a lot more confident with it:

Failed on my diet last night pretty hard. I wasnt feeling well so couldnt refuel after my workout as I normally do.
Heading to do legs now, not sure I'll have the juice in the tank but we shall see!
Had some shakes on my squats (hit 300) but otherwise felt OK.
Going to stick with with the 8 reps for the rest of the year.

Rested Friday and Saturday, got in for a pretty solid session on Sunday.
Smith machines were all occupied but I was not deterred from my intent to stick to the Smith inclined bar bench- I just hit a different exercise first.
Machine biceps curls four sets with drop sets on the last (picked up a couple of reps each set with same weight as last time). Smith inclined barbell bench three sets with drop sets on the latter two (comparing to last rested time I did this, eked out slightly more reps overall), hack squat three sets (adding 1-2 reps each set from last time at same weight), one set of triceps cable pushdowns before deciding I'd rather stick with the extensions machine I've been using for consistency, three sets of machine triceps extensions with drop sets on the latter two, advancing weight on the first set and advancing reps by 1-2 on the others.

That does look good. I should try it out.Tried this deadlift variation last night and I think I gotta keep it in my routine. The stability factor with deadlifts combined with the technique made this variation a lot easier for me. I felt a lot more confident with it:
