Do them but do them in an atypical way.

One of my favorite ways to incorporate DLs is very different from what most people would ever do, think to do, or suggest.


Do your entire Back workout other than DLing, and then at the end work your way up to a weight that isapproximatelyyour 10-rep max (I know...nobody ever does that sort of thing on DLing, so you will have to estimate).

Then be ready because you're going to be doing singles. A lot of them. A whole lot of them.

Make sure a clock that counts seconds is in view, and do singles every ten seconds until either your grip gives out entirely, you can't catch your breath to brace properly after only 10 seconds, or your form breaks down enough during the movement that you just don't feel like you're working the muscles you want to work anymore.

Focus on the explosiveness off the floor portion of the movement - don't even worry too much about fully 100% locking out at the top.


Report back after your workout and try to tell me anything other than 'That was quite an experience - I've never felt like this just from DLing before...'.
