We begin re-test week with Sumo Deadlifts.  The goal is in these 5 sets of 5, go heavier per seat than you did on 5Nov.  If you hit every instance of Sumo Deadlifts this cycle, then you should see an improvement in strength in this movement.

So, in each 4 Min set, the double unders and burpee over bar are your buy-in.  What counts is the number of Sumo Deadlift High Pulls you get through.  That said, attack the buy-in movements with a purpose, but have some left in the tank to get good, quality SDHP reps for the remaining time.

20 Minutes is a pretty long time, so to keep yourself moving the whole time, would suggest not doing overly huge rep chunks in the hang power cleans or deadlifts.  I know, the hang power clean is a pretty no-brainer as you don’t want your grip to completely go out on you, but I would apply the same manageable-chunk strategy to the deadlifts as well.  With the Ski erg being a LOT of hip hinging, you will feel the posterior chain getting pretty beat up, so don’t double the pain by trying to go unbroken on the deadlifts.

While the goal is to finish this WOD pretty fast, don’t go for broke on the ring dips if you haven’t done these a ton.  Otherwise, you run the risk of hitting the fatigue point to where it will take the arms a lot of time to recovery.  Rather, break up the reps into manageable chunks from the get-go.  Always stop 2 or 3 shy of hitting total failure.
