6 Weeks to Superhero - Deadlift Complex by Christian Thibaudeau April 11, 2011April 5, 2021 Tags 6 Weeks to Superhero, Deadlift, Exercise Programs
Deadlift Star Complex Top-Half Deadlift — 3-5 reps — Overload

Good for activation and building your traps and upper back. Deadlift from Floor — 3-5 reps — Strength
Moving up a notch in the force-velocity curve, this is a heavy deadlift, but not super maximal. The speed of movement should be faster than the previous exercise.

Star Complexes Explained When I have to get an athlete, bodybuilder, or actor into the best shape of his life, which means stripping off body fat while adding 15 to 20 pounds of functional "show" muscle, there's only one type of training to use: Star Complexes. A star complex is a block of five exercises of the same movement pattern.

The five exercises are performed back to back, starting with a heavy/slow movement as the first exercise. Each subsequent exercise is lighter in resistance than the previous exercise, allowing for progressively faster rep speeds.

I've seen fitness girls losing 20 pounds of fat in six weeks while getting stronger. And I've seen football players completely revamp their body composition in six weeks while adding 20% to some of their lifts!
