Workout
8 RFT
8 V-ups
8 Weighted rows (plate, DB, KB, banded)
8 Deadlifts (225/155)
**How are you feeling from Wednesday’s deadlifts? Ready to do them in a workout? Good!
You’ll get in a bit of a longer warm up to prime your core for the V-ups as well as bracing for the deadlifts. Gotta protect that back, yo! And I’ve seen some kipping V-ups, so here’s a great chance to find what it feels like to use your abzzz. And if you’re not getting the movement, there are ways to modify it so you still get in a good workout.
Weighted rows is going to be a bit open ended and depend on the class and person. Check out the links above for some options. Since we’re still off the rig, I wanted you to get in some pulling work. And it will also tax your grip a bit for the deadlifts. Yes, that’s intentional to keep the focus of the lift not in your hands. Want a stronger deadlift? Build that upper back.. with rows. You’ll likely see some bent over rows at the end of next week, too.
And even though it’s not listed, what’s a Friday without some curls? Strip the weight off your bar or grab a plate and knock out some bicep curls before taking off for the day. Hey.. if you can’t be strong, you might as well look strong. 😉
