Strength

Mid Shin Pause Deadlift and Forehead Pause Press

5 at RPE-8, then break up 15 more reps

These two variations help you work on technique and bar bath. Make sure you drive the floor away from you on the mid shin pause. Both of these are brief pauses, not 2 seconds. Make sure the bar travels up the shins, pausing below the knee. Only bring the bar up 2-3″ and pause for 1/2 second. The forehead pause will be a brief pause making sure that the bar is right up against forehead, making sure the bar comes up rather than out in front of the face.
