Deadlift (Week 4 of 5)

5x2 @RPE 9

*Perform each rep with a 3 second descend.

*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.
