Strength
Deadlift – heavy 5
Workout
12 min AMRAP
200m run
10 Dball shoulder – 100/60
10 Handstand push up (a few scaling options)
**Great way to start the new month — with some heavy deadlifts! Pick it up, put it down. Five times until it gets heavy.
The workout is intense, but a different level of intensity than Friday’s “Tres Beetches” (keeping it clean for the kids). Short run, pick up a ball, press your bodyweight while you’re upside down. If you’re using the scaled option linked above, make sure it’s still difficult enough that you’re just doing fast half reps. The top of the press should put your chest towards the box. Shoulders/top of head to the ground, not your chest — that would be an incline push ups. Work on your weakness. If you struggle with bodyweight movements, maybe scale the dball weight a touch so it allows you more time upside down.
