**Does it get any better than deadlifts to start off the week? Okay.. aside from back squats.. but, like.. DEADLIFTS!
As always, deadstop and not touch and go, aka ‘bouncing’. Save those for Wednesday’s wod. We want to work on PURE pulling strength from the floor without the help of the floor.
As mentioned in the weekly blog post and noted above, the workout is a repeat from last year with a *slight* twist. It’s moreso in the wording, but I’m also adding a timecap. After looking at last year’s board picture, I didn’t get the results I had expected. This should be a FAST workout. And if it means scaling the height of the swings to shoulder height, or the air squat reps to 10 or 12 to keep you moving, then do so. This is NOT a workout where you do it Rx and see how far you can get. No. The idea is to finish under the time cap — as they all are. So whatever you need to do to move quickly but safely, then make those adjustments.
