Hello all,
I'm looking for opinions on heavy deadlifts. The lower body part of my program currently consists of:
-Goblet squats
-Kettlebell swings
-Single leg contra-lateral deadlifts
-Double KB front squats
-Double KB deadlifts
My heaviest bells are 32kg, and I use one in each hand on the double KB deadlifts. This results in a close to bodyweight deadlift (140lbs of bells vs 150lbs of me).
FWIW-I'm of the opinion that power is more important than strength as we age based on my reading of studies and try to program accordingly.
At 44, I'm not looking for a huge dead, however, I'm wondering what may be left on the table without it. Opinions please!
