Scaling
Athletes of all levels can perform this deadlift workout designed to test strength endurance in 10-rep sets followed by adequate recovery. Ideally, each set will be as heavy as possible for 10 reps, but newer athletes should start light and add weight as they are comfortable. For those athletes, the early sets can be used to drill mechanics as they build toward heavier final sets that challenge strength.
