5@ RPE 8×2 rounds
Here we are using the RPE chart to regulate the training intensity. The chart ranges from 1-10, with 1 being absolutely no effort, and 10 being a maximum effort.
Objective: build to an RPE of 8 for 2 sets of 5 repetitions with every weight jump.
Note: the pause is 1 inch off the ground for a 1 count pause. After the pause, continue to the finish position of the deadlift, with the hips fully extended. Pause for each repetition.
Strength Tip
Deadlift: the bar should be one inch lower. Feet are in the athletic position, hip wide apart. Load your hamstrings before you engage the first pull. Lift the bar, staying over the bar and having the weight in the middle of your foot the whole time. Once the bar passes your knee, extend your hips forward and keep pulling the bar close to your body. Repeat as needed.
