The landmine deadlift is another alternative variation I have a crush on. It grooves the hip hinge, it's pretty much idiot-proof, and it allows you to accumulate a bit more volume without overly stressing the spine.

I prefer to add these into a second day of deadlifting, maybe after hitting a few sets of medium-range triples: 3x3 at 75-80% of 1-rep max.

Follow those with a few sets of landmine deadlifts at 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps. Or they can be performed as a standalone deadlift variation that day. 

Remember, deadlifts don't always have to be heavy, and they don't always have to be performed in a traditional manner. – Tony Gentilcore
