WOD – Thu, May 7

Intent

(0-5)
Deadlift day. This is your final opportunity to build before next week’s re testing. Go heavy and focus on quality reps. Reset between each rep while maintaining control of the bar on the way down. Keep your hands on the bar, settle at the bottom, then go again.
For the conditioning, reduce the barbell load significantly. If you are not taking enough weight off from your strength work, scale it further so you can move fast and stay unbroken early. This is meant to feel like sprint style intervals. Fast efforts, quick transitions, and minimal drop off.

Warm Up (Checkmark)

General Warm Up (5-12)
Partner Up
P1) :30 Row (pace gets faster each time)
P2) :30 Single Leg Glute Bridge (right), :30 Banded March :30 Single Leg Glute Bridge (left), :30 Plate Ground to Overhead
*P1 will row while P2 is doing glute bridge. Once :30 is done, partners will rotate so now P2 is rowing and P1 is doing glute bridge Rotate again and move on to row and banded march and so on

Banded march:

*Can also put band around hips, cross over and step on it and do the same thing instead of holding it
