-Strength-.

Deadlift, 1 x 5
Increase weight 5-10# from 150605

Keep in mind we will be trying to improve on this every other week for a while.  Make a strong effort to work on the skill before you go too heavy.

This will be a heavy set of 5 where you do not drop the bar, but also use zero momentum from the previous rep.  The eccentric (lowering) portion should be very controlled.  No bounce off the floor, but also no loss of tension when you tap and go at the floor.  The goal is to have reps 1-5 look exactly the same.
