Speed Band Deadlift:
55% x 3 x 10 @21X1
Rest :45-1:00 between sets.
Use 55% of recent 1RM/Heavy Single (or a few lbs heavier than last week). These should be fast reps. Focus on moving the bar with speed through perfect positions. You can choose Sumo or Conventional Deadlift, but we recommend sticking with one throughout the cycle. Focus on moving the bar with speed through perfect positions. Note the tempo includes a 2 second descent and 1 second pause on the floor. This is meant to help prevent you from bouncing the plates and/or relaxing on the descent. The intent is to lower the bar under control and maintain tension before exploding up. In each of the linked videos above you’ll see examples of moving through perfect positions with amazing speed.
