Workout of the Day
5 rounds:
45 seconds of ring dips
15 seconds of rest
45 seconds of deadlifts
15 seconds of rest
45 seconds of box jumps
15 seconds of rest
Choose a relatively light deadlift weight, especially compared to last week’s; you should be able to maintain quick sets of 5-10 reps with no problem. Scale the ring dips by either using a band or keeping your feet on the ground. Pace each effort conservatively, keeping in mind that this interval structure will feel like a straight AMRAP given how short the rest/transition time is.
