Ideas on Speed Deads on DE day?

[JDarty6173]

I want to start incorporating some speed deadlifts as assistance work on my DE days... Of course they would be for multiple singles focusing on speed... So I'm looking for some input as to what would be the most effective method here.. For instance I'm considering the following...

1) Deads standing on a 4" box
2) Deads with bands attached to botton of rack

Also.. Should I use the same sumo stance I would normally use going heavy, or go conventional or extra wide sumo? Or maybe just rotate between #1 and #2 with varying stances... Hmmmm...Well just looking for recomendations from those who have incorporated speed deads into their training.........

Thanks as always

#2... #1 will NOT reinforce form, which is one thing I think speed pulls benefit a LOT.

do them every OTHER weak in the beginning and keep them light at the bottom.

as for the rest, you need to experiment and figure out for yourself.

the ONLY way to figure out what is working is to enter a meet and see.

good luck.

Thanks Irish.... you're very right there, I do need to work on my form alot more... I'm gonna throw them in today after speed squats for about 8 singles....
