On Friday, we will test our 5RM deadlift – with a twist! Instead of grabbing the bar and holding on for dear life, you will open your hands for 1 second at the bottom – or 8 fingers down. This technique was used in the CrossFit Games Last Chance Qualifier, but I remember seeing this used at Regionals in 2009 somewhere in the American South East.
One caveat on the percentages – these are not 80-90% of your 1RM – they are imaginary percentages of your 5RM. If you know it great. If not, set a goal and work up accordingly
