Your thoughts on warming up for Deadlifts
Currently, I usually use the Max-OT warmup for my 5x5 lifts. For those of you who don't know, here it is:
50% of working weight x10
50% x 10 (a little faster)
67% x 6
80% x 3
90% x 1
I don't like doing 10 deadlifts in any set because it is so form-intensive and I am afraid of injuring myself by losing form on even the easiest of weights. Also, since I do deads after (lite) squats, I'm guessing a lot of the muscles I'm using are already sufficiently warmed up.
So, currently, my DL warmup goes something like this:
50% x 6
67% x 4
80% x 2
90% x 1
5x5 working sets
Any thoughts?
