Coach’s Notes:

Be sure to watch the breakdown video today! Deadlifts are an amazing, essential move, but we need to treat them with respect.

If you have never done deadlifts before, keep today very light and focus on learning the technique. If you are lost, reach out to me so I can get eyes on ya!
Barbell version: Once you are at your working weight, try to do one set every 3-4min. I know this will feel very slow, but you need to save your energy between sets and then use everything you’ve got to maintain your form while lifting the bar. This is the best way to do your strength work!

For the at home, no-barbell version, feel free to hold some weight for some or all of this complex, but it’s going to target those hammies and glutes - big time. Keep the weight light if you use any at all! Remember, you may not feel it much today, but you may REALLY feel it tomorrow. Don’t over do it.
