For load:
Deadlift
5-5-5-5-5

Goal & Intensity:
-Build raw strength and reinforce safe deadlift mechanics.
-Today’s focus is heavy lifting relative to your own capacity.
-5 x 5 heavy deadlifts, RPE 8–9. Add weight across sets only if you can maintain solid form.
-Don’t rush – use each set to build gradually and take full advantage of the rest.
RPE: 8–9
Area of training and benefit: This session develops maximal strength and tension control, which carry over to all lifts and movements. It is valuable because a solid strength base reduces injury risk and boosts long-term performance.
