Deadlift (Week 5 of 5)

5x2 @RPE 10

*Perform each rep with a 3 second descend.

*Rest 90sec between sets.

COACH'S NOTES

Rate of Perceived Exertion and the 10 simply means that you should feel like you couldn't have done another single repetition when you have completed your set.

This is week 5 of our RPE strength cycle.

-Today's intensity = RPE 10

-Perform a few sets of a deadlift with an empty barbell or light set of dumbbells.

-Slowly begin to add weight until you are at your first set.

Focus Points:

-Deep inhale and brace before lifting the weight from the floor.

-Imagine an orange underneath each armpit and you're squeezing all the juice out of them in your setup.

-Keep the bar close to the body both on the way up and on the way down.

-The back leg should have a slight bend while the front should be fairly straight.

-Hinge at the hips keeping the legs in their same positioning. Use the glutes to stand and repeat.

Chinese Rows

-Use an elevated surface to help allow for full extension of the arms.

-While laying in a prone position, retract the shoulder blades and squeeze the glutes.

-Maintain tension and pull the weight towards your body. Slowly lower and repeat.

Handstand Hold

-Place hands underneath shoulders in a stacked/vertical position.
