Strength Balance Progression

Often, the simpler the progression, the easier to follow. This section uses a simple method of weekly progressing load while the reps stay the same. Aim for the increase in weight to be enough to experience more fatigue but not so much that you lose the quality of the movement.

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
