*Rest 90sec between sets
COACH'S NOTES
Today's intensity = RPE 9 (This is week 4 of our new strength cycle)
-Rate of Perceived Exertion and the 8 simply means that you should feel like you could have done another 1 repetition when you have completed your set.
-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.
