TRAP BAR DEADLIFTS: HEAVY DENSITY LIFTING...

3 x  5-4-3-2-1 @ 230lbs


Heavy Density Lifting or HDL is an even more difficult form of rest-pause training that works amazingly well. Here's how to do it.


Load up a bar or machine with a weight you can lift 10 times. That's about 70 percent of your 1RM. You'll use this same weight throughout the set.


1. Do 5 reps, rack the bar, and rest 15 seconds

2. Do 4 reps, rest 15 seconds

3. Do 3 reps, rest 15 seconds

4. Do 2 reps, rest 15 seconds

5. Do 1 final rep


That's one set. Rest 2 minutes in between sets. 


Each set ends up letting you complete 15 total reps with a load you could've done for only 8-10 "regular" reps, so it's clear why this is among the best size-builders.


Cash Out: Trap Bar Deadlift - 2 x 5 @ 320lbs


AVG HR - 110 BPM

MAX HR - 128 BPM
