NOTES

Welcome to Week 11 of the Mechanics lifting cycle in which we are focused on building the base for our strength development.

Today we are working off of your 20-rep max that we found in Week 1. Take the load of your 20-rep max and multiply it by the percentages in today’s lifting session. This will determine your loads for each set.

Each set is meant to be unbroken. Feel free to rest at the top of the deadlift, but once the bar hits the ground, it should come right back up.

Rest about 3:00 between sets.

Next week we will finish this cycle with a retest of our 20-rep maxes.

In Accessory – l, use a DB that is challenging, but allows you to walk the entire 50 meters without putting it down. Try to increase the load of the DB in each set.
