1) Trap Bar OR Regular Bar Deadlift w/(2-0-X-0) tempo - 3 x 8 Touch and Go reps

• The focus today is loading the bar as heavy as possible while still maintaining the 2 seconds down tempo each rep and keeping all 8 reps each set touch and go repetitions. If you are unable to keep the 2 seconds down tempo or have to set the bar down during a set rather than going touch and go, you went too heavy. Challenge yourself with a difficult weight, but the emphasis today is on keeping the tempo and touch and go reps each set. On a scale of 1-10, these sets should probably be around a 7 or 8 as far as intensity goes. Very challenging, but not a maximal effort.
