Breaking down the SDLHP:
The Sumo Deadlift High Pull or SDHP combines the two movements of the Sumo Deadlift and the High Pull to create an extremely effective full-body exercise that builds strength in both the lower and upper body.

Starting Position – The Angry Gorilla
The starting position is also fondly called the “Angry Gorilla” because it resembles the posture of a big, bad silverback. The feet are wide, the chest high, and the butt low.
Stand Up!

The Sumo Deadlift is a simple movement consisting of getting into a good starting position, and then standing up much like the squat. The back must remain tight in order to protect the spine and to ensure that the proper muscles of the legs and butt are being used.

Open the Hips all the Way
In the middle of the Sumo Deadlift High Pull, the hips are all the way open, the back completely straight, and the shoulders back.

The Shrug
The Sumo Deadlift High Pull begins as the Sumo Deadlift ends. Without a pause, and in order to maintain the momentum of the weight, the shoulders shrug up just as the hips open completely.

The Top
At the top of the exercise, the weight is all the way up to the chin and the elbows are high. Without pausing at the top, begin the process in reverse to complete the entire movement. Lower the weight until your arms are straight, then return to the start position.
Returning to the starting position should be done just like a squat, with a push back of the hips and bend of the knees to lower the weight to the starting position. It’s critical on the way down to keep the back tight.

how are everyone's hands?? tape down the skin, cut it off, super glue them, do something! This was a tough workout, mostly because of that grip on the bars.

Happy birthday Doreen and Lee!

Tough WOD! I'm thrilled (beside RX weight for sumo deadlift high pull) that I didn't use any assistance for other exercises. So tempted to use band ;) PS- my hands are oozing, yay.

Jason Lyons said...

hey John, do you hear that noise? It is the sound of the worlds' smallest violin playing just for you. lol.

also, just a question for all of us to consider for future reference...i do not think we knew any better in 2009. there should be a height requirement for the rings for Rx. I am saying 2.5 feet may be good. Also, I would not allow kipping in this one for the ring rows.

Chris P. said...

Jason, what's your question? ha

what if someone's arms are longer than 2.5 feet? Rx'd should be a height where your arms are fully extended and your back is just off the floor. Any lower and your arms can't be at full extension; any higher and your body is going to be at an inclined angle.

Jason Lyons said...

lol, exceptionally valid point p. i agree. i would say one fist between back and ground and rings must physically touch body without kipping on row.

Peterson said...

Not that anyone cares but I definitely scaled the KTE (by the end I was lucky if I was within an inch of my elbows) and the ring rows were just terrible. Just forgot to write "Scale" next to my name since I couldn't hold a marker.
