CSCS Coaching Guidelines & Execution Protocol
- Never compromise spinal neutrality for heavier weight on the deadlift.
- Reset your breath and brace at the bottom of every deadlift repetition; avoid touch-and-go bouncing.
- Drive your elbows toward your hips on all rows rather than pulling with your hands.
Optimal Recovery Meal for This Routine
Prioritize 45g of protein and dense complex carbs to restore glycogen depleted by heavy deadlifting.
