Strength

Deadlift (week 3 / 6)

5 Sets: E2MOM

3 reps @ 85% of 1 RM

* Deadlift sets are heavy today with a 10% jump from last week.
Ensure you are taking time to set-up properly before pulling. Keep the bar
close to your body, "tuck your shoulder blades into your back pockets", maintain
a neutral spine, "Squeeze your armpits in like you are crushing an orange." Take all the slack out of
your arms, drive with your legs and push you feet through the floor.
Do not hyperextend at the top of the movement.
