Second running of our Sumo Deadlift for this cycle. Like last time, in your setup, as you lower the hips, build up the tension in your legs until they are in the perfect position for you to begin the lift. Aim to go heavier per set than you did on the 5X5 week.

12 Min AMRAP:
15 Wall Balls (20/14)
5 Power Cleans (185/125)

Don’t worry, you did not read the RX’d weights for today wrong. It is meant to be on the heavy side. These Power Cleans should not be touch-and-go, but rather fast singles.
Scaling Options:
MB weight -> 14/10 -> as needed
Bar weight -> 85% of your 1RM -> as needed (ELITE: 225/165)
