Deadlift 5-5-5-5-5 reps
Post loads to the comments.
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a classic heavy day. Look back at April 29, 2025, to find your last heavy 5-rep deadlift to help gauge your target loading today. Plan to lift heavy, relative to your capacity, either sticking with the same load across all 5 sets or beginning the first set of 5 at 65% or higher of your recent 1-rep max and building from there. Newer athletes and those who struggle to maintain sound mechanics on the deadlift will hold at lighter weights to improve mechanics and consistency before challenging near-maximal loads.
