Deadlift 5-5-5-5-5 reps
Post loads to comments.
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a classic heavy day. Use your most recent heavy deadlift as a reference point when planning today’s loads. The goal is to lift a challenging weight relative to your current capacity, either by using the same heavy load across all five sets or by starting around 65% or more of your recent 1-rep max and building throughout the session.
Newer athletes, or those still developing consistency in the deadlift, should prioritize sound mechanics and use lighter loads as needed. Focus on building movement quality before progressing to near-maximal efforts. Aim to complete a set every 4 minutes. If that rest interval feels excessive and your mechanics remain solid, consider increasing the load to make the sets more challenging.
Intermediate option: Same as Rx'd.
Beginner option: Same as Rx'd.
