This is a sample routine. To do this routine yourself decide what you want to shoot for for 3 reps. Then subtract 10lbs for each week in the Deadlift. Platform Deadlifts should be 50lbs less than regular Deadlifts. Platform dedlifts should be performed while standing on some kind of platform approx 2" high.
