Another quiet night at the gym, but that was fine and ideal for tonight’s fun. A few days ago I did DE (dynamic effort) squats and now it was time for DE Deadlifts.

The object here is speed and power off the floor at 60-70% of my 1RM. I gave myself 30-45 seconds between each set of 2 lifts.

60%-261# x 4

65%-281# x 4

70%-310# x 4

330# x2
