Work Out of the Day



Adrian transitioning from monster L sit to hand stand. What a stud!


Dead Lift
5-5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1
(translation: 9 rounds total. Do 5 Reps the first three rounds. Increase the load and do 3 reps the next 3 rounds. Bump to loads and do 3 more heavy singles. A full 3 minute rest between sets is acceptable. This is not a metcon workout. We are building strength primarily today)

Find a weight that allows you to do the reps with proper form.

The video is a great example of a crossfit work out and shows the deadlift. Most of us prefer and over/under grip on the lift. When the loads get heavy if helps keep the bar from rolling out of the hands.

Remember to get full extension at the top and return the load to earth under control.
