SKILL

Deadlift
1-1-1-1-1

Work up to a heavy single deadlift today.  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 increase in weight.  Warm up with multiple reps as you build in weight and when the bar starts to feel heavy drop to singles until you’ve hit your max for the day

Workout Notes

Today’s workout comes in the format of a chipper.  We start and finish with a large set of alternating dumbbell snatches.  After your first set of snatches you have fifty burpees to work through.  That large set of burpees will be fairly challenging following the snatches so break up that first round as needed in order to keep a little in the tank for the burpees.   Your score for this workout will be the total time it takes for you to complete all one hundred and fifty reps.
