Coach's Training for the over 50 crowd- Deadlifts

These days its very hard to recover from deads and squats, so I don't squat anymore, due to the fact I can no longer do three lift meets because of my torn right Pec. So, I only compete in the deadlift these days. Not Squatting definitely helps with recovery for my back and hamstrings. Here is my last deadlift workout.

Kroc Rows- (bent rows with a heavy, heavy db) 10 reps@75, 10 reps @ 87, 10 reps @ 107, 10 reps @ 127, 10 reps @ 137. My Big Boy db's weight 7 lbs. with the collars. You can buy yours from Ironmind.
