W.O.D. 5.1.16


3 Rounds for time of:
15 Deadlift 70% of 1RM. Every fifth rep must be held at the top position for 15 seconds.
15 Push Press 40#/25# Dumbells or Kettlebells. Every fifth rep must be held overhead for 15 seconds.
15 Burpees. Every fifth rep must be held in the top of the push up position for 15 seconds.

Coaching Tips: 
Scale load and movements to match your current fitness level. The purpose of the mid-set holds is not only to develop muscle unit recruitment, but also develop mental toughness. Holding onto the bar that extra 15 seconds will help overcome weakness in your grip and weakness in your mind. The same will hold true for all three exercises in the workout. Keep in mind that the workouts that we do aren't always only for immediate physical improvements but for future workouts as well.



Community Notes:

TEST DAY- RECORD RESULTS
"Chelsea" 
On a Thirty Minute clock, every minute on the minute perform 
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

Can you continue for thirty minutes? Twenty minutes? How about 10? 

If you fall behind the clock keep going for thirty minutes and see how many rounds you can complete. If you've finished the workout before this time add +1 to each exercise, i.e., 6 pull-ups, 11 push-ups, and 16 squats each minute, and see if you can go the full thirty minutes. 



Scores will be recorded like this; If you complete 15 rounds on the minute and then fall behind for the remaining 15 minutes, count the rounds you complete, so potentially the score could be 15/7. 15 Rounds completed on the minute and then 7 total in the remaining time.
