PERFORMANCE

Warm-Up.

Banded Lat Stretch x 60 seconds each side
Banded Hamstring Flossing x 60 seconds each side

Followed by…

Two Sets:
Banded Good Mornings x 20 reps
Reverse Snow Angels x 10 reps
Row Sprint Start x 10 pulls

Then….

A.
Take 12-15 minutes and build to a heavy, but not necessarily 3-RM, Deadlift

B.
Every minute, on the minute, for 15 minutes:
30 Double-Unders
3 Deadlifts

Load should be challenging, but without sacrificing sound mechanics. Don’t exceed 70% of today’s 3-RM.

I gotta say I wasn’t loving today’s WU..usually I do.
So went with my own thing with some hip..glute and Ab activation drills.
A. 3 rep Deadlift – worked up to 220# (10# off my 3RM)
B. EMOM for 15 min
30 DU – trips in rounds 1,2,4,12
3 DL @ 155# – all UB
*** DLs seemed a little light but was able to stay consistent with good form and no blowing up the back. All UB rounds at 30s…the 4 rounds with trips were 35-39s.

Great job BFS! I finally told myself that same thing about DUs about 3+ years ago. It took sooo much practice and patience…which I’ve got like 0 patience! But worked them everyday. Started everyday doing 10 sets of as many UB as I could. I’m by no means the fastest at them…but if I don’t focus on something in the distance and pace them they are a disaster! You got this!!

A. Worked up to 455 x 3 (RPE 9)

B. 30s Echo bike + 3x DL @ 365 (EMOM x 15)

Felt great today. Used the new Lynx bar on DL, and it felt great. Pushed the % on “B” up to 80% and held through all 15 sets. Tough!!!… but loved it.

Ha! Don’t think I was going hard on the Echo. Haha. It was basically enough time for me to get my breath back (almost…). Fitting both the echo AND 3rep DL into 1 min was killer 🥵

Warm up done.

A. Built to 430 for heavy 3. That’s all the weight I have so need to get more.

B. Tried this at 405 got through 5 rounds then went to 365 for the remainder. Felt good but wanted form and speed to stay consistent throughout.

Nice workout!

For the Second Part should the weight be 70% of what we achieved in Part A)?
