Today's Technique Tuesday is from the master of modern American powerlifting, Coach Mark Rippetoe. Coach Ripp, as he is affectionately known, is known for his no-nonsense approach to weightlifting. He calls a spade a spade, and has a very strong opinion on how to finish your deadlift, you lower the bar. Dropping the bar, according to Coach Ripp, is something you should never, ever do.
Coach Ripp wrote a book, Starting Strength, that we have in our lending library. Since we will be deadlifting for the next 6 weeks, it's a great idea to learn a bit more about this lift. Read one of Coach Leslie's favorite Ripp articles on the deadlift. Today's Workout Power to the People Deadlift Day 1 Set 1 = 5 @ 35% Set 2 = 5 @ 40% Set 3 = 5 @ 50% Set 4 = 5 @ 60% Set 5 = 5 @ 90% of set 4 If you deadlifted yesterday, don't worry, we have something else planned for you.
