With fall and winter approaching quickly, we will be shifting gears to another arena in which CF focuses on ... Olympic Lifts. Deadlifts is a staple exercise to become stronger. Strength is only one of the 10 components of fitness and cannot be overlooked. For the ladies in our group, doing these lifts as random as what we will be doing them, WILL NOT TURN YOU INTO A MASSIVE MUSCLE BOUND FREAK. It takes YEARS of dedictated work to look like that.
Please pay special attention to these videos before attempting these deadlifts. The most important things are: keep the bar in constant contact with your legs, keep your lower back arched/straight the entire motion and keep your chest up. Once you start getting into heavier weights, make sure your back is not rounded as this is when you will get hurt.

Finding your 3 Rep Max on Deadlift ... increase the weight for each set unless you fail on the set. The 3 reps should be a touch (the ground) and go. Do not regrip or rest between each set.
