Deadlift Rule of Thumb
Posted: Sun Sep 04, 2016 6:51 pm
This is has come up on other forums and it seems there are other TBers doing it, so I'll share here;
I have a DL "rule" that's been working very well for me in the context of training strength+conditioning. I never go over 3 reps regardless of set#, week, or load#. If it's a 75% week I might go with 5 sets of 1-3 reps. In the 90% it might just be 1 set of 3 followed by a couple singles. The only rule is no going over 3 reps per set for DL. # of sets and # of sessions per week all remain status quo as per your unique DL set-up.
I find this really makes a difference when it comes to recovery and coupling DLs with heavy conditioning.
Enjoy! Please share your results if you try it out.
