Score: Deadlift Load / Completion
Goal: Maintain consistent output across all rounds. Athletes should aim to complete each minute’s work with 10–15 seconds of rest remaining, demonstrating sustainable pacing and proper movement mechanics throughout.
Stimulus: Aerobic strength and muscular endurance
RPE: 7–8/10 — Hard but controlled effort. Athletes should feel challenged but never redline. The goal is repeatable effort, not max intensity.
