Heard good things about the dead lifts. Well done. It's also good to hear that people are not shirking the work, but rather trying to bite off the bigger, more strenuous bites. please be careful and don't over-do it. If your legs are barking at you and begging you to rest, please listen to them. If they recover, they will be strong, if not, then they won't. Make sure you're foam-rolling or doing some sort of therapy when recovering. Ice is always good. Get yourself an arsenal of massagers and lacrosse balls and get to work. Trust me, You'll be better for it. So maybe instead of doing Drake snakes and trudging through them, you guys should have a group roll-out session or a mobility wod session. That is true training.
Of course check http://www.mobilitywod.com/ for new mobility tips and stretches.
Here's additional labor err.. workouts for you all:
12 minutes AMRAP
- 50 meter sprint
- 10 Hand Release Pushups (advanced: clapping HR pushups)
- 50 meter sprint
- 20 situps
* I suggest putting an abmat at one of the sprint and do pushups at the other end. You guys should all be able to hold proper form for 50 meters after the last 2 weeks of interval work. I see a lot of people looking really good during the warmups.
Enjoy.
I'm glad to hear that! Dave gave me a 5x5 to work on during the weekends, yet I still hover between 185-195. How do you know when you've reached your max dead-lift?
ReplyDeleteDo I need to eat more protein to gain more muscle, does muscle/size=power? I'm not a size queen by any means, ahem, so I'm not focused on that, I'm just wondering if that is as big is my bite is going to get or do these things take time? If I increase the frequency with which I hit the deadlift will that help?
The dead lifts were awesome. It felt really good to find my max. I am more tired than I expected today and my knee is a little achey. I am going to take the advice and work on mobility (lots of stretching and icing) so I am ready to go Saturday.
ReplyDeleteDid this today. It's a killer. I managed 6 rounds + 10 push-ups. After the first two rounds, I couldn't do the sit-ups unbroken. Got to REALLY work on that stamina.
