Sumo Deadlift (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)
Starting at 90% of the 5×5 Sumo Deadlift Test from two weeks ago and increasing load each set, with the goal of reaching 110-115% of that test load by the final 3-rep set. The priority throughout is maintaining quality positions and posture at every load. Stay tight through the lats, break the bar off the floor with control, and drive the floor away by pushing through the hips and glutes. Every rep should look the same whether it is set one or set five.
Modifications:
Level 1: Reduce starting load to 80% of the 5×5 test and focus on positional quality over load; if no test exists, work to a moderate load that allows for a strong, consistent position across all five sets.
Hotel Gym / Travel: Dumbbell sumo deadlift, 5-5-4-4-3 wave loading with the heaviest dumbbells available, prioritize hip hinge mechanics and controlled tempo.
