Got deadlifts?


Deadlifts, just as good for you as milk! This lift was originally called the "health lift" because of all the physical benafits that are built using this movement. Then for whatever reason the lift was renamed the "deadlift", I'm told it is called this because the weight is dead on the floor until the lifter lifts it. Either way any successful training program would be smart to include this lift as it improves several motor abilities and athletic movements.

Training:
Squats 5x5
Romanian deadlifts 4x12
Turkish getups 3x5

Training:
Deadlifts 5x5
Jumping lunges 3x20
Turkish getups 3x5
