About this program
Six-week specialization block targeting the deadlift. Unlike the Coan/Phillipi block (focused, programmatic, cycle-specific), this is a general deadlift specialization with multiple variations: conventional deadlift (heavy), deficit deadlift (off-the-floor strength), block pull / 18" deadlift (lockout), and Romanian deadlift (posterior chain hypertrophy). Squat and bench drop to one maintenance session each per week.
Four training days per week (Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri). Mon: Heavy conventional deadlift + back accessories. Tue: Bench maintenance + back. Thu: Deficit OR block pull (alternates each cycle) + RDL. Fri: Squat maintenance + light deadlift technique.
Weeks 1-2 establish at 75-82%, weeks 3-4 push to 85%, weeks 5-6 peak at 88-92% with a final-week deadlift 1RM test. Best for intermediate lifters with a clear deadlift weakness — slow off the floor, weak lockout, or just behind their squat strength.
