Barbell Complex: 8 Romanian Deadlifts + 6 Tall Muscle Cleans + 4 Hang Power Cleans

Specific Movement Prep (Add Loads to the Barbell) (6-8 minutes)

Perform 5-7 Reps, Cueing athletes through positions and working on correct set-up in the Deadlift, then watch for consistent bar path and movement to the finish position where we are looking for extension of the knees, hip, and shoulders



Add Loads to the Barbell building towards 70-75% over the course of 3-4 sets of 2-3 reps at a time

Deadlift (Every 3:00 minutes x 5 Sets
5 Reps @ 70-75% of 1RM)

We are looking for some strong sets of 5 reps to be done every 3:00 minutes here at 70-75% of your 1RM Deadlift. The goal here is more strength maintenance and form work for the posterior chain. Avoid the pitfall of going big here as that will stress the system out going into the Week.
