Snatch-Grip, Bent-Knee Deadlifts, 5110 tempo

2 x 3

2 x 5

2 x 8

Rest: 4 minutes between sets



One of the most important exercises a sprinter can use because of its effect on developing the muscles of the posterior chain, especially the glutes and hamstrings. Make sure to pause the bar on the floor between reps, and do not use a belt. Also, do 6-8 progressively heavier low-rep warm-up sets before tackling the first set of heavy triples. If, for example, your best triple on the snatch deadlifts is 275 pounds, your warm-up pattern would look like this: 135 x 5, 185 x 3, 205 x 2, 225 x 2, 245 x 1, 265 x 1
