Scaling:
Today we’re hitting 5 heavy sets of 5 deadlifts. Allocate a decent amount of time to build up to 80-85% of your 1-rep-max, and then start the heavy sets. If you are moving well, increase the weight each round and aim to hit a new PR around set 4 or 5. You may also stick to the same weight across the board or pyramid up and down in load. Remember, the stimulus is to lift heavy, safely, and have fun doing so!
The Turkish get-up is a great tool to build core strength and shoulder stability. The movement will be a great bit of accessory work to finish off a strength-focused day. Complete this movement with a dumbbell, kettlebell, or even a barbell (most challenging).
