OVERVIEW

Today’s WOD is all about picking things up and putting them down- Deadlifts. We’ll be repeating last week’s Front squat rep scheme, but with deadlifts. We’ll seek to establish heavy sets of 5 and 3, finishing with a heavy single for the day. Between working sets we’ll practice handstand holds and/or walking.
