Deadlift + Bench Press (Weight)

12:00 EMOM

Minute 1: 3 Bench Press

Minute 2: 3 Deadlift
Loading Notes: Holding 70% across for both lifts. This will work as a primer for the testing week next week and give us a good 6x3 for both lifts today at 70%. The goal here with 70% is it is heavy enough to keep touches on the lifts, but light enough that form and speed stay constant.

*We are sticking with our theme for this cycle of combining our Deadlift and Bench Strength days in order to target a strength stimulus from two complementary movements that don’t interfere with each other in order to get greater frequency and touches, while letting the other days hold more weight for our conditioning work.
