Our pull this cycle will be the Sumo Deadlift. We’re looking to create some good strength throughout the posterior chain and add some hip flexibility in as well. Big things in your setup: brace your core, push your knees out, get the hips close to the bar without losing tension, then explode in the lift, and squeeze the glutes at the top instead of over-extending the back.
WOD:
3 Rounds:
100′ Dual DB Front Rack Lunge (50/35)
50 Double Unders
25 Devil’s Press (50/35)
20/15 Cal Ski Erg
16 Min Time Cap

Setting up your equipment properly will help unneeded extra walking from part to part in the WOD today. To set up for this WOD, mark off either a 25’ or 50’ section on the gym floor. IF it is 25’, you’ll lunge down and back twice per round. If it is 50’, you’ll do one down and back per round. Keep the core tight and elbows in front of the DBs.
Scaling Options:
DB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed
Double Unders -> 100 Single Unders
Ski erg -> resistance band ski erg 2 reps + 1 Cal
