STRENGTH: 

Deadlift (Conventional)

3 x 20 @ 30% . Rest 2 Mins. Hamstring focus. These should feel light and your positioning should be floorless throughout. Advanced athletes with good mobility can perform these off a 4 in platform . Please not this is far from a 20 max effort Deadlift - light and structural is the goal - but your hamstrings should be “lit” as the Instagram models say…
