Deadlift 5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1-1 reps

• Look back at previous heavy deadlift efforts to help navigate today’s loading
• Experienced athletes should build in load and plan to go as heavy as possible across all sets
• Newer athletes should start light, focus on mechanics, and slowly add weight as comfortable
• Reduce the loading of the barbell as needed to maintain consistently sound mechanics
• Consider lifting from an elevated surface if unable to achieve a sound setup with the barbell on the floor
• Consider performing a sumo deadlift, or deadlift with a pair of kettlebells or dumbbells to adjust complexity
• In case of injury or limitation, consider performing good mornings or GHD hip extensions
• Coaching cues Pull the “slack” out of your arms by trying to “break” the barbell across your shins
