Day 89: Light Deadlifts

Light lifting, so really focus on perfect form execution.

Time Domain

  • 5 ROUNDS - 5 reps @ 50-60% the weight you call heavy, and following all the points of performance in Mark’s video (in resources below) - use the basic two-hand version from his video. If using dumbbells, have one dumbbell in each hand. Barbells should be self-explanatory. Using anything else? Just make sure you are lifting with both arms on the load.

    • Start the clock

    • Levels 1, 2, & 3: Execute 5 deadlifts, but explode out of the bottom to hip lockout. Take an extra :01-:03 to squeeze the glutes extra hard at the top, then lower the weight back down.

    • Rest the remainder.

Resources - How to

These are kettlebell videos, but it doesn’t matter. Use whatever you have; the principles don’t change. I will be doing it tonight or tomorrow with several different loaded items for illustration.

Score

  • Note the weight and the reps

  • Share the style of deadlift executed

  • How did it feel? Did your form get wonky at higher reps? Weight manageable.
