Coach's Notes. 
Quick review - there are a few ways to come at this type of workout (straight sets across, add weight incrementally each set, etc). Warmup to "working set" weight and get 5 good working sets in. If you're feeling it, shoot for your 5RM PR on set 3-4 and try to beat it by set 5.


Training Videos.
  • "WOD Demo: DL 5-5-5-5-5" - from CFHQ, with Travis Holley (5:00). Note the focused approach to warmup, using exercises related to the deadlift. Great practice to get into, every WOD.
  • "Intro to the Deadlift" - with Coach Rip...a staple (3:00).  Includes links to related videos on setup and deadlift geometry.
