STRATEGY
THE BIG TAKEAWAYS
1. With a front loaded workout that is also pretty taxing on the grip and midline, today could be a great day to chip away at very quick sets of deadlifts and toes to bar. Fast sets of 3-5 reps can sometimes be faster than holding on for large sets with long breaks. Try to take 2-3 breaths maximum before getting back on the bar for the next set.
2. While the deadlift and toes to bar reps drop, the row stays the same. Look to hold a similar moderate pace across the board. Knowing you’re chipping away at quicker sets on the bar movements could be a nice incentive to hold a strong row pace.
