I have a question but I guess I should wait for “Thib Is Back - Q&A April 13-20”
Thibs-
What are your thoughts on single arm deadlifts?

Prayers.
It’s like a football player who came up to me one summer telling me that he needed to ace all his combines-like tests… and he had not trained at all … and he had 10 days to do it.
Or another guy who asked me how to peak for a pool party 7 days later… and the guy was 15% bodyfat… I told him ‘‘start dieting 8 weeks ago’’.
Seriously, unless you already have a strong foundation of both strength/power and track training, you will not have great results in only 2 weeks.
If you have already been training for it, then 14 to 7 days out you should do a training blitz, increasing volume by 50% while keeping intensity high. And from 7 to 1 days out drastically reduce the volume (50-60% of what you were doing before the blitz) while keeping the intensity up, to peak for the contest.[/quote]
Thanks.
