A Hybrid Step Cycle for Your Deadlift (opens in new tab)

You’ve always wanted to deadlift, but it takes too much out of you. It just doesn’t seem to “play nice” with the rest of your training. Or maybe you want to hit a bigger deadlift number for your next Tactical Strength Challenge or powerlifting meet. Perhaps you’ve heard that “deadlifts take more than they give,” and that’s kept you away. Or you train your deadlift but avoid going heavy because you’re afraid of injuring your back.
