As such, it's a movement that can be performed daily in order to keep that pattern sharp. It can be in a max or near-max modality, a lower intensity version done for a much higher volume, trained for speed, super slow, paused, or with altered stance. An athlete will train a skill for hours each day, in any way possible in order to stay sharp. A deadlift can't be consistently improved by only training it once a week. Here's an example of how you could work in deadlifting every day, or involve some sort of deadlifting pattern on a regular basis: Monday Max-tension development using only 135 pounds Do 10 sets of 5 reps. Work on getting as tense and braced up as possible. Envision lifting 1,000 pounds and getting set for it. Take as much rest as you need. Tuesday Max speed Use 60% of your max weight and work on accelerating the weight from the floor to lockout as fast as possible. Do 8 sets of 3 with a 2-4 minute rest between sets. Westside calls this Dynamic Effort. Olympic weight lifters call it a regular training session. Wednesday Near-max lifts Use 90% of your max and perform 10 singles after working up through a couple of warm-up sets. Take 3-5 minutes of rest between sets. Thursday 20 x 20 kettlebell swings performed on the minute Work on getting the hips to snap the movement fast and hard while keeping the core tense and strong. Friday Pause x 2 deadlifts On the way up, pause for 3 seconds at 3 inches below the knee, 3 inches above the knee, and then finish at lockout. Lower the weight in one move. Use 75% of max for 6 sets of 5. Rest until you can finally see colors again. Saturday Using 85% of your max, do 1 rep every 30 seconds for 10 minutes.
