Skill

Deadlift
2-2-2-2-2

Work up to a strong effort set of two deadlifts.  This doesn’t necessarily mean you go up to max effort, but work up in weight as you feel comfortable. Judge your effort by the strain it takes you to achieve each lift.  New lifters should keep the load light and work on proper body mechanics as they increase in weight.  Start with a light weight and make sure that you have established a straight back and an  appropriate setup as you address the bar.  Be sure to maintain your posture as you progress through each set and as you increase in weight.

WOD

10 Rounds for time

10 Kettlebell Swings 32/24 kg
10 Box Jumps 24/20″

Workout notes

Today’s workout is a classic CFD combo that we have tested a few times in the past.  The total round count and volume is on the higher side so scaling “up” from what you normally swing might be a bad idea for this workout. The set sizes are small but what might seem easy at first will get pretty tough when you get deeper into this ten round workout.   One way to scale this workout would be to drop the total round count to somewhere between 6-8 rounds.  Box jumps can be scaled to step ups if needed but to keep the original stimulus try just adding some rest between reps or decrease your box height so you can continue jumping throughout the workout
