Deadlift Workouts Videos

2018 - 2020

I work out four times a week rotating through four basic workouts: Bench Assistance/ Squat/ Bench Press/ Deadlift. On this page are listed videos of my Deadlift Workouts. For these, I do two main deadlifts exercises for 3 work sets each. Sets marked with an exclamation point are 50s PRs; sets marked with a caret (^) tied 50s PRs; sets marked with an asterisk did not go as planned. For all of these lifts, I am wearing a Crain power belt, APT wrist bands, and drug-store type knee sleeves. For my other three workouts, Workout Videos. See also: Full Workout Logs: 2018 - ? and Weightlifting Exercises Videos.

The shorthand is date (month/day/year), followed by exercise and pounds/ reps.
