- Perform 3 reps in the deadlift with a weight around 75% 1RM. Rest, then perform a single rep with around 85% 1RM.
- Go back to a set of 3 but add weight so it is heavier than your first set of 3. Then do a set of 1, adding weight to that rep also.

- New to this movement – work technique with 5×5

Charly, the Foundations Seminar is from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Here is my new favorite quote from the games website!
“If your box is full of fire-breathing dragons, ass-kickers, and twisted steel with sex appeal, do your part. Help these men and women get ready for the challenges that await. When you’re training with these monsters, give it bloody hell … do what you can to push them.”
