The deadlift today continued the power-oriented theme begun with the squat this morning, and the event took the familiar form of a truck deadlift for reps. The weight at the bar was announced as 315 kg and the object was simple: Pull for as many reps as you could within the time limit.

In a schedule change, a third event will be held later today: the overhead lift.
