In the Romanian Deadlift, the barbell is lowered by pushing the hips back. Reaching back to a well-positioned post can serve as a tactile cue for athletes learning the movement.SWOD: Weighted Dips, 5 RM
Use bar, rings, or bench/ box with your legs elevated. If you are still working on body weight dips, then do 3 sets of max reps. Or work on holds in the "up" position for max time.
Metcon: 3 rounds for time:
Deadlift, 10 reps (advanced: 275/ 185 lbs, intermediate: 205/ 135 lbs, novice: 135/ 95 lbs)
50 Double-unders
The purpose of the deadlifts is to go heavy. There are three options for the weights, and they are labeled for advanced strength, intermediate strength, and novice strength. If it is hard to complete the reps with the weight you've chosen, think about doing it one or two reps at a time then taking a break before you just drop the weight down.
Substitute for double unders is tuck jumps. But if you want to work towards your double under goal, then cut the reps in half.

Happy to see all my morning buddies this am!
Wow, today's workout was rough. Did Weighted Muscle up into ring dips, only got 10 pounds of weight up, Couldnt muscle up at 20 lbs.
ReplyDeleteMetcon: 6:53. Double Unders killed my Deadlift strength
Today is day one at reaching our goals. It was nice mine came up to set the bench mark right from the get go. Craig did a very good job of pushing me to lift more weight. I was going to do 135Lb for the deadlift because I looked at it as 10 reps without putting the weight down. Craig suggested I do 205 Lbs and look at it as 10 individual reps. Big deal if you put the weight down your lifting more working towards that goal.
ReplyDeleteSWOD: 3 sets of 5 assisted ring dips/3 sets of 10 assisted bar dips.
Metcon:14: and change, 205 Lb deadlifts
The Morning crew rocked like normal. Hey maybe we need a little competition. Morning crew vs the afternooners. Total who meet their goal? closest number to meet goal? ideas welcome
Still having problems with left arm, got a real surprise when I went to use a rubber-band to do a dip, left arm went to pain, knee slipped off band, got slapped in the mouth, no more of that. I am doing a whole lot better with the jump-rope, made it to 18 today, wasn't long ago I couldn't do two in a row. Now Craig suggests I try to work in a double-under, what does he think I am???
ReplyDeleteStarted out at 135#, for two rounds then Craig changed me to 185# for the last round, did 50 single-unders. 6:22.
My new goal is Double-Unders,amount to be determined.
Dave, I like the idea of teh competition. Your time on the Metcon was 14:07 because you beat Kyle by over half a minute.
ReplyDeletePaul, I had to move you up in weight so you didn't beat my time too badly.
No CF tonight. A's home opener, 7:05pm first pitch. Frank told me he'd be there too. Back at it Tuesday 6pm.
ReplyDeleteSWOD: Practiced bar dips...5 that weren't that great and 2 sets of 5 with the band

I did this one a day late due to gym limitations at work.
ReplyDeleteSWOD: Dips up to 60x5. I can do more with a dip belt, but holding dumbbells between your legs gets uncomfortable and difficult real fast.
Metcon: As rx'd (275 deads) in 5:49. The dead lifts make double unders ridiculously hard!
SWOD: practiced bar dips with band
ReplyDeleteWOD: 14:?? As rx'd, intermediate (135lbs)
