Conventional Deadlift with Barbell – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXRhpk-liNE
Deadlift with DB/KB – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWhY8i8ULO4
If you are doing this with DB’s, use a tempo of :03 descent, a :03 full stop at the top and a :03 ascent. Follow the warm up RPE’s always using this tempo. If you cannot get precise with the %, follow RPE. Or let’s say your 1RM was using 35# db’s, so 88% would be 30#. Go with that vs 90% which is 31.5#.
