SKILL

Deadlift
2-2-2-2-2

Work up to a strong effort set of 2 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. Practice maintaining your posture as you progress through each set and as you increase in weight. Your heaviest lift should look just like your lightest!

WOD

Workout notes

Today’s workout is a task priority couplet with a total of fifty-five reps of each movement.  We’ll start with higher reps of kettlebell swings and descend in reps every round. The box jumps will start with a single rep and ascend in each round.  You will complete eleven reps every round starting with ten swings and one box jump and finishing with one swing and ten box jumps.  This rep scheme will be a challenge as you will complete half of the swings in the first three rounds and half of the box jumps in the last three rounds. For that reason remember to pace yourself early so you can leave something in the tank for the box jump sprint in the last few rounds!
