Workout 11449

Created: July 29, 2025

Description:

Deadlift 5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1-1 reps
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today is a heavy day. As always, heavy is relative to each athlete's capacity and experience. You will benefit from today's effort if you work to your limits. Look back at your previous heavy deadlift efforts to help navigate today’s loading. Experienced athletes should build in load and plan to go as heavy as possible across all sets. Newer athletes should start light, focus on mechanics, and slowly add weight as they are comfortable.
To adjust the complexity of the lift, consider performing a sumo deadlift, or deadlift with a pair of kettlebells or dumbbells.
In case of an injury or limitation, consider performing good mornings or GHD hip extensions.
Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.
Beginner option:
Same as Rx’d.
Coaching cues:
As you set up to pull the barbell off the floor, pull the “slack” out of your arms by trying to “break” the barbell across your shins.

Scaling/Comments:

Reduce the loading of the barbell as needed to maintain consistently sound mechanics. If you are unable to achieve a sound setup with the barbell on the floor, consider lifting from an elevated surface.
