RX for Deadlift PR

Warm up
  • DB swings
  • lots of stretching (especially in hips and legs - hamstrings, quads...)
  • some lighter lifts to get lats and traps warm
Deadlift
  • 2 x 5 x 185
  • 1 x 5 x 245
  • 1 x 3 x 280
  • 1 x 1 x 300
  • 1 x 1 x 320
  • 1 x 1 x 340
  • 1 x 1 x 385
  • 1 x 1 x 400
This is more than a little bit time consuming but it's apparently the recipe for success. If failure occurs at any time, try again with same weights the following week.
