Pull More.. to Pull More: 9 Week Deadlift Program

I discovered a few years ago the only way to really increasing my pulling strength was in fact.. to PULL more. Not necessarily pulling heavier (although that method does work as well) but more frequency in the amount of times I pulled during the week. 

This 9 Week Deadlift program has you working through a variation of pulls, from volume sets, block pulls to speed pulls. Accessory work is given both days focusing on bilateral pulling, unilateral pulling and core strength & stability. A 2 day rest period between days is recommended! This is not a squat specific program but you will be squatting once per week. If you are currently on a Squat program, skip the squatting and add in more core accessory on Day 2.

*RECOMMENDED BARBELL BUILD UP *

Barbell to 50% - these sets serve a purpose, don't move the barbell just to move the barbell. Perform extra warmup sets in this rep range to build movement pattern and get your body/joints warm.

50-70% - keep the rep range between 3-5 for these sets with a max of 3 sets.

70-80% - we're working our way into singles or sets of 2 reps. Being careful not to over do it with a max of 2 sets.

85%-90% - 1 Rep

95% - 1 Rep

Heavy Single Attempts - 2-3 attempts. If you PR, that's great! If you hit 98% that's also great. Any day you can hit 95%+ is a good day! Make sure to take 2-3 minutes between attempts if not more.
