Deadlift 5-3-1-5-3-1-5-3-1 reps
Post loads to comments.
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today is a heavy deadlift day. The sets are arranged to build significant volume under relatively heavy loads. As a general guideline, start your first set at about 70% of your 1-rep max, and aim to increase the load with each wave. We last tested a 1-rep-max deadlift on July 22, and again as part of the CrossFit Total on Aug. 14. Use those numbers to help choose today’s starting weight. Remember that “heavy” is relative to each athlete’s capacity and mechanics. The goal is heavy sets with good technique. If you show mechanical faults at any point during your warm-up or working sets, correct them before you add weight. To reduce the risk of injury, you may even need to lower the weight before you continue.
