DB Burpee deadlift (50/35)
DB Hang clusters (50/35)
**Short week! And we’re starting things off with the bench press. These sets of 10 days are deceiving – careful about loading up too much weight on your first and second sets, you don’t want to max out too soon.
We’ll carry a bit of that pressing over to the workout – a bit of pressing to come out of the burpee, and pressing overhead at the top of the cluster. A couple things to make sure you’re doing on the DB burpee deadlifts is getting in a good position when the feet come back up to the dumbbells – flatten out that back before you stand up. And make sure the DBs are set out wide enough that you can get your chest to the ground (similar with a Devil’s Press), and that they are outside your feet before you start the deadlift. Transition right to the hang after you complete your last deadlift rep. These should be cycled fairly quickly since you don’t have to go to the ground. Timewise, a good goal is under 12 minutes, 15 min tops.
