WHITEBOARD – 20 December 2010

Workload:

 

Max Deadlift (Once you hit max for day, perform 3 more singles at 90% of Max)

Rest 5 Minutes then perform:

5 Rounds for time:

5 Ground to Overhead (185/135)

5 Overhead Squats (185/135)

Rest 5 Minutes then peform:

50 Knees-to-elbows

Notes: Pick a challenging weight for this workout.  It is only five rounds and 10 reps a round.  The goal of this workout is to calm the body and perform each rep with strict form.  When picking weight consider the overhead squat as that will be the limiting factor.  Time is less the goal than form & load.

      Thanks, Dara! I suspect my next PR won’t be quite as dramatic. The benefits of the first couple of months of working out.

    funny things start to reveal themselves when you drop weight and focus on form. Realized halfway through the WOD that to keep the weight up you have to push equally hard up and OUT. As a result, my last set of squats was stronger than my first. No longer fear the overhead movements quite so much now.

    …we forgot the 90% lifts

    WOD: 9:00 (1st set at 115#, then realize that was way too light. Last 4 sets at 135#)

    K2E: 5:08 (10-5-10-3-7-10-3-7)

    I fiddled with my starting position today because i noticed on the strongman day that I was getting a much better pull from the ground with a narrower stance so today I tried it for the normal DL, and man did it make a difference. I also belted my last two lifts which helped brace my lower back. 2 words: Belly breathing.

    No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...
