Some things are really hard to do.
Snatch grip deadlifts qualify. Working the upper back and shoulders in a way I was not expecting.
Make your training a recon mission to find the areas you suck at. Highlight your weaknesses then work them until they're not. My deadlift is my weakest area right now. It's why I've been cycling different motor patterns and using similar weights, reps and sets to get work in.
Here's what the pattern has been for deadlifts:
- Week 1:
- Conventional Deadlift 6 sets of 5 with the last set a max rep
- Week 2
- Deficit Deadlit - 6 sets of 5 with the same weight from last week
- Week 4
- Snatch Grip Deadlift - 6 sets of 5 with the same weight as the first week.
- Week 5
- TBD
Remember to bring your kids out to train with you whenever you can. They won't be small forever and they won't want to hang out with you forever. Instill a habit of training that they will carry on and one that will allow you to join in with them when you're trying to find common ground. (You know it's going to happen)
