1 Deadlift

Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart your toes facing straight ahead. Squat down and grab the bar with an outside-shoulder-width, palms-down grip [1]. Keeping your lower back in its natural arch, drive with your legs and push your hips forward, lifting the bar as you rise to hip height [2]. Reverse the motion and return the bar to the floor. That's one rep.

READERS COMMENTS:


Are you supposed to increase and decrease the weight for the deadlift for each set? Are you supposed to do 6,3,6,3,12 with the same weight? I am confused.
-- Eddie

no. Each set of 6 & 3 are different weight the latter heavier. Likewise within each set of 6 & 3 the weight should be increased incrementally.

5 sets of 6,3,6,3,12 or a set are 3 reps another set 3 reps?
