**My dream is to have a straight up monostructural day, especially a strength day, that’s the full hour of back squat or deadlifting. Today comes close. I love hitting up an open gym with some space, a “gainz box” to sit on between sets, and some pre-wod to sip on between sets. As always, dead stop deadlifts. We’re power lifting today, not CrossFit lifting. And I’m a fan of going heavy sans belt. If your back is rounding, back off on the weight and work on that core strength, on “getting tight” to support your core.. think of wearing a corset. You want to be THAT tight!
As noted, the workout is optional. In addition to being a fan of single-strength days and not using a belt (we can talk later about when one might be necessary) and instead do some light accessory work. The reverse hyper is a fine piece of equipment to get to know, as are the glute-ham developer machines (GHD) up front. Take them for a spin today.
