• Grip bar just outside athletic stance with shins touching bar

Sets/Reps/Intensity: 1x8 at 25%; 1x5 at 50%; 1x3 at 62%; 1x1 at 73%; 1x1 at 90%; 1x1 at 100%; and 1x1 at 103%
Note: Williams prefers using a Trap Bar Deadlift, because it provides a more natural line of movement. If you lack access to a trap bar, use a straight bar, but strictly adhere to the guidelines above. Make sure you don’t add substantial weight until your lower back is strong enough
