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.
