Week 5 - Student Summer Lifting Series

Day 1

Strength 

  • Sumo Deadlift 
  • Find a Heavy 5 rep in 2-4 warm-up sets then 4x5  
  • Heavy doesn’t mean going to failure. For this, heavy should mean you have 1 maybe 2 reps in reserve, meaning you could do 1 maybe 2 more reps with good form but not 3 more. 

CFHL trainer Kim demonstrates how to perform the Sumo deadlift.

Accessory 

(The last couple of reps on these exercises should be challenging. If it’s not, increase weight.) 

  • Bulgarian Split Squats 3x10 each side
