DEADLIFT & OVERHEAD
Want to know if someone is strong? Ask them what they can deadlift or press overhead.
At the end of this eight week program you will PR both of these lifts. The goal of this phase is to increase your deadlift and overhead maxes while building the muscle to make you look strong too.
THE PROGRAM
This program consists of four strength training days and a fifth recommended training day that's focused on recovery. Our accessory work is going to focus on lots of posterior chain and tricep strength work to build both of these lifts. You can choose the style of press or variation of deadlift you want to focus on. You will still be squatting and doing a bench variation, but those days are used to support your overhead and deadlift gains.
Goal: Increase deadlift and overhead press 1RM
Length: 8 Weeks
