Third time at Sumo Deadlifts this cycle. As stated before make sure to 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. Reps drop to 3 per set, so aim to go heavier than the 3X5 week.
WOD:
21-18-15-12:
Cals, Echo Bike (women go 16-13-10-7)
Power Snatch (115/80)
Barbell Roll-outs

Look for today’s triplet to tax your lungs, shoulders, and core. Know going in that every round, when you get to the barbell roll-outs, your breathing will be very high and you’ll get the sense that you won’t be able to go deep in the rollout. Take a deep breath or two to clear that feeling away, and then attack the roll-outs. For form on the Barbell Roll-outs, the goal is to get as close to out flat at the bottom as possible.
Scaling Options:
Bar weight -> 95/65 -> as needed
Roll-outs -> as far as your flexibility will allow -> Ab-mat sit ups
