Lower Body:
Strength Intensity 1: In the first few sets, the reps should feel easy; this will allow you to really dial in the technique. Fatigue will accumulate as the sets go on, making the final few sets challenging. If you select the correct starting weight, this format allows for a perfect balance of quality and intensity.
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.
