Deadlift 5-5-5-5-5-5-5 reps
Post all seven sets and total to comments.
There are movements that will never make it to your local gym and they include some of the best exercises ever known. There is a collection of them known as “the odd lifts”. It would be foolish to ignore these lifts. It would be even more foolish to approach them with other than extreme caution.
Some of these lifts place enormous demands on stabilizing muscle; others are very functional. Some are as demanding of cardiorespiratory function as running, while others train for teamwork or coordination.
