PERFORMANCE

Warm-Up.

“Mind Muscle” Warm-Up for Hinging Movements

Followed by…

Three sets of:
5-8 Prone Walkouts
10-15 Banded Bent-Over Seasaw Rows
45-60 Second Bodyweight GHD Back Extension Hold (or Superman on Floor)
Rest as needed

Followed by…

Row for 3 minutes. Every 30 seconds, sprint for 5-7 strokes then resume your regular pace.

Then…

A.
Every 90 seconds, for 12 minutes (8 sets):
Speed Deadlift x 3 reps @ 65% of 1-RM

Reset the barbell every time on the floor…do not perform these touch and go.

B.
In teams of two, alternating complete rounds, perform as many rounds and reps as possible in 24 minutes of:
25 Double Kettlebell Deadlifts (24/16 kg)
50-Foot Front-Racked Kettlebell Walking Lunges (24/16 kg)
100-Foot Double Kettlebell Overhead Carry (24/16 kg)
150-Foot Double Kettlebell Farmer’s Carry (24/16 kg)

If you don’t have a training partner for this session, use a 1:1 Work:Rest ratio – resting the length of time it took you to complete the preceding round.

A. Speed Deadlift as Rx: 245 @ 1.1.1
B. As Rx but nerfed to 35# DBs to ensure “walking” was an option over the weekend – 6 rounds (2:16, 2:25, 2:25, 2:16, 2:22, 2:20) … over the 24 minute mark but whose counting.

Felt ify about this one. Definitely as hard as I thought it would be. Was surprised by the ab workout with the lunges.

A. Speed DL. Not sure I understand the why for these.

8 rounds at 175 – did NOT do touch and go.

B. All by my self so 1:1 work/rest.
4 rounds with 21 sec left. RX.

Those overhead carries got a little hairy on the 3rd and 4th rounds.

Great WU…a long one..but just what I needed! A. Speed Deadlifts x 3 @ 155# all sets with hand release between reps ***kept it a little lighter than expected because I just didn’t feel the “speed” at the planned 165# B. AMRAP 24 min – Solo 1:1 work:rest ***used the one 16kg KB that I have and one 35# DB. Let the right arm use the DB because I have better control with a DB then KB. 3 Rounds + 25 DL + 50′ walking lunges at the buzzer..but did finish the 4th round Round times – 3:44 / 3:41… Read more »
