between sets

Technique Tuesday: What Should You Do Between Sets? (Deadlift Edition)

Usually I prefer to cry in the corner by myself between sets of deadlifts (it’s historically been the most challenging of the powerlifts for me), but this week’s Technique Tuesday covers what to do between sets of heavy pulls.

Our primary goals between sets of the deadlift are to:

  • Mobilize the hips
  • Activate the abs and upper back
  • Groove an aggressive hip hinge/extension pattern

This wraps up the 3-part part series covering “filler” exercises, so make sure to check out the squat and bench press installments if you haven’t already.
