Wave Workout

The object of this workout called a "Wave", is to do sets at higher weights progressively. You do a one repetition set at a higher weight. Then you do your regular set at a lower weight. The idea is to overload on the one rep set and make the subsequent set easier.

Hard work as you'll see on the last one set rep.

The "Wave" then goes something like this (I'm doing deadlifts, you can apply it to other safe workouts).

135lbs deadlifts set of 5+ reps
225lbs deadlift set of 1 rep
205lbs deadlift set of 5+ reps
275lbs deadlift set of 1 rep
215lbs deadlift set of 5+ reps
305lbs deadlift set of 1 rep
225lbs deadlift set of 6 reps
375lbs deadlift set of 1 reps (this is where it gets difficult)
Succeeded at 325lbs for set of 1 rep
