Deadlift Specific Weakness Work
If you find the bottom half of the Deadlift is the toughest – the bar moves but stops or slows when it leaves the floor – follow A.
If you struggle to stand the bar all the way up as it approaches knees or passes – Follow B

A) Deficit Deadlift
Build to a Heavy Set of 5 with 1-2″ Deficit (Stand on plate)
Then 3 Sets of 5 @ 80% of Heavy 5
(Rest 2:00 between)

B) Deadlift from Blocks/Mats
Build to a Heavy Set of 5 with Bar on Mats or Blocks positioning the bar at Knees
Then 3 Sets of 5 @ 80% of Heavy 5
(Rest 2:00 between)
