Last time hitting our Deficit Deadlifts this cycle before we re-test our 5X5.  Our goal is a heavy set of 5, followed by a heavier set of 4, then an even heavier set of 3, then a heavier double, finishing with an even heavier single.  If that last one becomes a new 1RM, cool!  If not, then make it heavy for the day.

The concept of “How do you eat an Elephant?  One bite at a time” definitely can be applied to Chipper WODs like today.  Just get through one movement at a time.  Don’t think five movements ahead. Focus on getting through the one you are in, and then on to the next.
