Workout of the Day (WOD)

“Dead Sprint” [10 Minute Time Cap]
10 Deadlift (m = 135/185/225, w = 95/145/175)
20 Double Unders
8 Deadlift
40 Double Unders

80 Double Unders
2 Deadlift
100 Double Unders**

** Level 2 = 10-20-30-40-50 Double Unders OR Singles 1:1, Level 1 = Singles 1:1

This WOD is meant to be all out. If you are planning on where you are going to strategize or save energy then you have already lost. Work with your trainer to determine what level you should pick based on being able to complete all deadlift reps with PERFECT form. The faster the workout calls you move, the more precise your technique needs to be dialed in. Therefore, only push the deadlift as heavy and as fast as you are able to show mastery of the movement. NO EXCEPTIONS. Also, if you can’t yet string more than 10 Double Unders together in a row, consider doing the Single Under option at Level 2 or Level 1.

Post time to complete the WOD. Ex: 6:40 L3.

And coming tomorrow…

A. GHD Situps: Complete 3 sets of 10 reps. Rest 2 minutes between sets.

B. 3 Rounds [20 Minute Time Cap]
