Hey guys,
I am staying at my parent's over christmas and the new year. In the basement I have a hex bar and a barbell. Since I have not been doing any barbell training (bodyweight and KBs only) the whole year I once again did the 30min deadlift challenge by Dan John (Tip: Take the Half-Hour Deadlift Challenge | T Nation) to see where I'm at. This was the second year that I did so. However it has been one year since I last did deadlifts (last christmas).
The challenge is simple: load a barbell or hex bar until 315lbs (~140kg). Set a timer on 30mins so that it beebs every minute. Do 2 reps every minute. You will end up having done 60 reps with 315lbs in 30mins! Feel free to adjust the weight to your level.
I did hex bar deadlifts with 315 (hex bar is my favourite). It was not the most pleasing 30mins but not too bad either!
Best of all it is a great proof of SF's WTH effects.
Also it is a nice holiday session: only 30mins bit highly effective!
I encourage everyone to test it out as a "holiday training" for christmas or for sylvester!
Merry christmas everybody!
