This is a simple deadlifting program for the early intermediate to intermediate lifter. It cycles through a heavy, light and moderate week and is designed to help you pack on muscle and strength. During your first cycle, base percentages off of 90% of your current one rep deadlift max. This means that if your deadlift max is 400, then starting percentages will be based off 360 pounds. Each rep you perform while using this cycle is a single. After each single you will reset. Rest as long as needed, until you feel mentally and physically recovered and ready to try the next rep.

Live to fight another day. The goal is to improve each week, not to injure yourself training like a fool.
3 Week Deadlifting Cycle
The 3 week rotation is as follows:
- Week 1 – Heavy day: 90% x max singles in 5 minutes
- Week 2 – Light Day: 70% x max singles in 15 minutes
- Week 3 – Moderate Day: 80% x max singles in 10 minutes
Progression. You will add 10 pounds of weight to an individual week when:
- Week 1 – Add 10 pounds the following week when you are able to perform 5+ singles
- Week 2 – Add 10 pounds the following week when you are able to perform 15+ singles
- Week 3 – Add 10 pounds the following week when you are able to perform 10+ singles
That’s it. This is a deceptively simple program. Don’t mistake simple for easy. Easy, it isn’t.
