Just made some additions to the How To Deadlift post that I thought would be helpful. There is a new video with some more instructional tips as well.
The deadlift has been a big part of my training again as I’m putting in more olympic lifting exercises and need the power out of the hole. I’m doing these big lifts so I can… guess… burn fat while gaining muscle. Shocking…
How do you gain muscle while burning fat (besides reading that post)? Well, you lift heavy and fast. I’ll give you an example right here with a workout called “The Bear”. My client Larry and I did it just yesterday and it is totally awesome.
Progressively make the weight heavier each set until you hit the weight that nearly kills you. (All descriptive language is figurative 
Do this sequence of exercises in order seven times for ONE set.
Power Clean
Front Squat
Push Press
Back Squat
Push Press
Do Five Sets in total. So each set is 7 repetitions of the above sequence, rest as long as you need and then repeat for four additional sets.
Here is a video of The Bear Workout from Youtube.
Enjoy!
