Strength Intensity 2

The movement variation will change slightly each week to gradually make this pattern more challenging. In addition to the movement variety, the last three weeks will include a change in the format of this section to allow for more total reps in about the same amount of time, leading to an increase in work density.

Station 1: 10 min

Conventional Deadlift

8  sets

  • Warm-up Set – 10 reps – RPE 5-6
  • Set 1-7 – 3 reps – same weight  for all sets
  • Working Set 8 – Max unbroken reps at Set 1 weight

Effort Note: This rep scheme is utilized to work on technique and quality in the deadlift. Remember that you are performing around 30 total reps, so this weight should not be anywhere close to your 3-rep max. Aim for a weight that is closer to your 8-rep max.

Increase the weight every week
