Deficit Deadlift

2 x 6-8 @ 64+% (2 RIR), tempo 3110, rest 3:00 b/t sets

– Do your first set @ or around 64%1RM deadlift, then build up if you can on the next set (if performing one), while sticking to the RIR and tempo. Quality > load
– Tempo 3110 = 3-seconds down/1- pause at the bottom position/1-second up/no pause at the top position
– 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.
