5 or more at 75% of your max
This is part of a two month progression of Deadlift, Strict Press, and Back Squat. Base your percentages on a recent one rep max, or an estimated one. Go for a safe max rep set on the last set, and then use that weight and rep count to estimate a new max for the following week (experienced lifters might want to wait a few weeks before updating their maxes). There are Training Load Charts posted around the gym to help you do this; chat with a coach if you need guidance, and track your weights!

Happy Birthday, Linda! Linda chose a twist on a classic benchmark for her birthday workout. Scale the crossovers so that the first round takes no more than about a minute and a half to complete, and complete a rep progression down from there. Talk with your coach if you need help working out a rep scheme. Move quickly, and avoid stalling for rest in the transition between movements; this is a short workout, so you’ll have to push for intensity if that’s what you’re after today.
