Scaling:
Pick loads that allow you to attempt to set a PR in the later sets. If you are not comfortable performing very heavy deadlifts, add a few reps to each set and drill your mechanics, but try to expose yourself to a load that is relatively heavy for you.
Warm-up with five minutes of cardio, a single set each of sit-up,
back extension, air squat, pull-up, push-up, and finally stretch.
(This is the default CrossFit warm-up. Remember it, please.)
Complete your warm-up with each of the following using comfortable loads.
Deadlift, 1 set, 10 reps
Power Clean, 1 set, 10 reps
Front Squat, 1 set, 10 reps
Push Press, 1 set, 10 reps
Go heavy:
Clean and Jerk, 5 sets, 5,3,2,1,1 reps
Snatch, 5 sets, 5,3,2,1,1 reps
50 Sit-ups.
Deadlift moderate load, 15 reps (use full size plates).
Push-ups off dumbbells, 25 reps.
Deadlift same load with 25 pound plates, 15 reps
Push-ups off dumbbells, 20 reps.
Deadlift same load with 10 pound plates, 15 reps
Push-ups off dumbbells, 15 reps
Deadlift same load with 5 pound plates, 15 reps
Push-ups off dumbbells, 10 reps
50 Sit ups
Notes:
1. The idea with the deadlifts is to increase the range of motion
CAREFULLY with increasingly deeper (smaller plates) deadlifts.
2. Use super-strict form on the push-ups and sink LOW!
3. Move through with little to no rest.
Deadlift 5-3-1-3-5 reps
Run 1 mile
Deadlift 5-3-1-3-5 reps
Notes:
1. Pick challenging loads for each of the first five deadlift sets.
2. Rest as needed before and after the run.
3. Run the mile for time, i.e., hard and fast.
4. Try to duplicate the loads for the second five sets of deadlift.
Muscle snatch 15-12-9 reps
with same load and 1 minute between sets.
Five supersets of back extension and sit-ups.
Make each exercise slow and tough.
Add weight to back extension if ready. Go SLOWLY!
Muscle snatch 15-12-9 reps
with same load and 1 minute between sets.
The muscle snatch is a snatch without the dive under the bar.
The idea is to deadlift and as you pass the knees, rapidly explode
the hip and follow through with an explosive pull straight through
to locked out overhead. This snatch is a regular support exercise
from the Olympic lifting repertoire. It places a heavy emphasis on
the upper body compared to the Snatch.
