The Sumo Deadlift starting position. Notice his arms are hanging straight down, his shoulders are slightly forward of the bar, and his chest is up. What else do you see in his form? his heels? lumbar curve? head position?
SWOD: Sumo Deadlift 5 RM
Metcon: As Many Rounds As Possible in 20 min:
-Back Extensions x 15
-Knees to Elbows x 15
-Overhead Squats x 15 (95/ 65 lbs)
Sumo Deadlifts are not a new movement for everyone, we just simply took out the High Pull portion of the lift you are all used to. Sumo Deadlifts are the Deadlift of choice for some power lifters.
For the metcon, it's pretty self explanatory. A lot of mid section stabilization today. You may have noticed that knees to elbows come up quite a bit. It's not only a great core exercise, but also will strengthen the arms and shoulders for those of you still working on getting your first pull ups or improving on them.

I am able to lift more with the sumo than the regular deadlift. It must be because DJ Kyle was in the mix this morning and he pumpin the tunes!

I think it was too long of a weekend, it kicked my a$$...
First real WOD I have been able to do in 4 weeks! SWOD was solid 275lbs sumo deadlift and my MetCon was 5 rounds with 75lbs for the over head squat. I had to sub knees-to-elbows for leg-raises because my arm is still a little messed up.
ReplyDeleteSWOD: sumo deads, 225
ReplyDeleteMetcon: 5 rounds + 5 back extensions. Overhead squats are a killer, but i like them. Did my squats to a bench, protecting my knee
Paul, I think you did 6 full rounds.
ReplyDeleteRough morning back into the gym, haven't done a metcon all week. Only did a few sets of Sumo Deadlifts. Then DJ Kyle returned the music to normal (after the "Chick" class left).
Metcon: 6 rounds + 10 KTE.
On my 6th round time was called on my 5th squat and now I can barely type.

This looks like a killer WOD, I'm bummed I missed it. Today I did a four hour hike and free hand rock climb in Birdseye, UT. The weather was perfect, the sun was out...awesome!!! Got a little nervous when I saw the fresh bear and cougar tracks...but, no worries, I could've taken 'em, I CrossFit :)!!!

Forgot to post from the 9:30 am class...
