  • WOD:
    For time:

10 Deadlifts
20 Hand-Release Push-Ups

Run 200 Meters
5 Deadlifts

  • A:
    Every minute, on the minute, for 5 minutes:
    Front Squat
    *Set 1: 2 reps @ 60%

    *Set 9: 90+% x 1 rep
    *Set 10: 90+% x 1 rep

For sets 6-10, let feel dictate loading. The goal is to establish today’s “heavy” lift. “Heavy” for the day is the load immediately before that at which you would lose proper mechanics and positioning. If you determine that you’ve reached that load for the day prior to set 10, stop there. You’€™ll have lots of opportunities over the upcoming weeks to hit new 1-RMs if and when your body is feeling good, so don’t push when your body isn’t responding to the stimulus.
