5) Let's hear it
I am going to rotate GHRs and pull throughs each workout also. I am going to do speed deads or some other variation every other back/pull day also. I guess I'm just looking for a couple of other lifts to add in. Just throw out some names of exercises if you don't mind...no explanation needed

5) Pertains to different bars that most people don't have. Safety squat bar, buffalo, cambered, ect. Also another very big one is accomodating resistance (chains, bands). Westside uses one or both just about every workout, and even for most supplementals.
Gluteham raises are probably the best thing you could put in. You could do them every lower body workout if you wanted. One heavy day, one light. Banded, weighted, ect. Pullthroughs are another decent accessory exercise. For deadlifts, I'd do high ones (vs low), and with a rounded back (vs arched). Just my personal experience. You could certainly alternate those as well.
For speed deads, I'd go no higher than 60% for 5-6 singles. The rest between sets is the most important aspect. 30-45 seconds timed. So if your 1 RM is 350, you'd use 210 only. You don't need to wave load it either like the squat. Even if you think it's too light, you're building speed, not muscle mass. That was my biggest mistake. I used to work with too heavy a weight for speed work. Although I was still pretty fast, I should've been lightening fast LOL.
