Score: Deadlift Load / Completion
Objectives, Stimulus, Workout Strategy and Movement Modifications:
Goal: Maintain consistent output across all rounds. Athletes should aim to complete each minute’s work with 10–15 seconds of rest remaining, demonstrating sustainable pacing and proper movement mechanics throughout.
Stimulus: Aerobic strength and muscular endurance
RPE: 7–8/10 — Hard but controlled effort. Athletes should feel challenged but never redline. The goal is repeatable effort, not max intensity.
Primary Objective: Build sustainable aerobic strength and local muscular endurance. Reinforce technical proficiency in moderate-load deadlifts under fatigue.
Secondary Objective: Develop breathing efficiency during high-output transitions + build tricep and chest endurance through volume based pressing.
