Strength:

Log your best Deadlift 1 rep max lift.

Only log the heaviest 1 rep. Do not include sets prior to it.

Athlete Instructions

Work up to a 1RM in 18 mins.

Points of Performance

Keep the bar close and have the hips and torso rise at the same time during the deadlift. We also want them to descend in a similar fashion by keeping tension against the barbell rather than letting the barbell pull you down to the floor. We should first move to a sumo deadlift or hex bar deadlift in order to change to a position that is more appropriate for those athletes with limited mobility in the hamstrings while still being able to lift the same load. We can also move to a rack pull.

Athlete Instructions

Primary Objective: Best overall result...break accordingly to produce best result.

Secondary Objective: Unbroken throughout. Based on the objectives, the first goal would be to break as needed in order to get the best possible result, but we also can challenge you to try to see if you can remain unbroken and whether that would be the best possible result given the style of workout.

Stimulus: Grip / Anaerobic / Posterior Chain

RPE: 8/10
