Skill
Deadlift
3 at 70% of your max
3 at 75% of your max
Max set at 80% of your max

This is our second round through on the progression of Deadlift, Strict Press, and Back Squat. Base your percentages on a recent one rep max, or an estimated one from the previous round. 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!
