WHITEBOARD – 23 May 2011

Workload:

Clean Deadlift 

5 Sets of 3***

  • *Load is 110% your max clean weight or if no max work up to a heavy 5 sets of 3
  • **If confident in clean movement, perform the deadlift with a 1-2 sec pause below knee

Then:

20 Meter Sprints

  • 8 Sets with 30s Rest inbetween
  • Once 8 sets complete rest 4 minutes and repeat for another set of 8

Notes: The deadlift is a CLEAN deadlift.  The pull from the ground is to mimic the initial movement of the Clean.  You should be setting up to the bar just as you would for a clean (pull it inward of the body and do not allow for the back angle to change until the bar passes the knee).  A big fault I see in people performing a clean is not pulling the bar off the floor correctly.  Two big keys are to make sure the bar moves towards your body during the whole deadlift & that you push the knees back to lift the bar up.

Remember positioning is found at this instructional video (Go to 0:50 to see how your set up should be.  The clean deadlift can be seen from 1:20-1:40) – http://californiastrength.com/videos/viewvideo/46/clean/clean-how-to-video-part-three

    Happy Birthday Dan! I’m still the oldest.

    185# no trouble. If only I could get under the MF….

    WoD, then put whatever I had left into a 400M for shits ‘n giggles. I have a big comp coming in July which is weight-carry-endurance related.

    If anyone is interested in some recreational long distance rifle shooting this summer, I can put something together for the group. My rifles, just kick in for the ammo. Very safe, structured & controlled environment.

    It is a lot like olympic weight lifting mentally. That singular focus where nothing else matters except executing it perfectly, and achieving the goal.

  • John Donne – Meditation 17

    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...
