5 x 2L, 2R @ 75% of current 1RM
Rest as needed between reps/ arms, and focus on every detail. If one single element of the lift falls apart, weight decreases for all remaining reps.
Then:
3 x 10 @ as heavy as possible in each set
Rest as needed between sets, and keep each as heavy as possible with excellent positioning. Movement may be weighted with kettlebell, sandbag, bumper plate. Turkish Get-up and elevator: Position and execution govern weight. Position breaks, weight drops. When scheme is listed as “3 x 10″, it always refers to “Sets” x “Reps”.
