Deficit Deadlift

3 x 6-8 @ 2 RIR (60+%1RM DL) , rest 2:00-3:00 between sets

– Do your first set @ or around 60%1RM deadlift, then build up if you can on the next set, while sticking to the RIR and tempo. Quality > load
– Stand on a 2″ mat or a regular 10kg (25lbs) bumper to create a deficit
– Deficit deadlift is a useful variation to help improve your set up position, strengthen your pull off the floor and to reinforce leg drive.
– Control the way down and keep your chest tall to fight for a strong bottom position.
