5/3/1 Deadlift and Wall Walks

Today’s strength Workout is us finishing up this cycle of the 5/3/1 for the deadlift. Tips for the Actual Max Out Visualize – See yourself doing the rep. Visualize the motion before it happens. You may think this is silly, but ask any professional power lifter if they visualize before a lift. Most great athletes see themselves doing something before it happens. Concentrate – Don’t worry about what everyone else will think who is watching, you are not here to impress. The only thing you should think about is the lift. People should not even be able to talk to you right before the lift. Plug in with headphones or whatever you need to clear your mind. Breathe – Simple, don’t hold your breath for the entire thing and pass out after you lift. Tighten – This plays in to safety. Tighten your core on every lift. We don’t want you to blow anything out or get a hernia. If you think it is too heavy, it probably is.
