Andy puts his rain boots to good use as he rescues a stall mat that floated away during the heavy rains!Workout of the Day:
Deadlift (volume sets at ~80%)
5-5-5-5-5

A finisher
Intended Stimulus
After getting nice and warmed up with accessory movements, you’ll take about 4 warm-up sets to build to around 80% of your 1 rep max deadlift. It is not necessary to do 5 reps on the final 1-2 warm-up sets, 3 reps touch and go is plenty. Then, when you hit your working load, get in 5 sets of 5 reps each. You’ll rest 3 minutes or so between each working set. These will be touch and go sets, so ensure that you get a good set up on rep number one and then move the bar with accuracy as you descend from the top, keeping it nice and close to the thighs and shins, sending the hips back back back, as you hinge at the hip with a neutral spine. The finisher is simple and fun, don’t sweat it!
