WOD: 1) Deadlift: 5-5-5-5-5 Use this as an opportunity to establish a 5RM Deadlift. In addition to establish your 5RM Deadlift perform 4 other sets at 80% more of your 5RM. Rest approximately 3 minutes between sets. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8otBoaZaaY A cool demo video, and a good one for those of you who might be struggling with a lift lately 2) 10 minute AMRAP: 10 Deadlifts 95/65 10 Sumo Deadlift High-pulls 95/65 10 Clean and Jerks 95/65 This workout is meant to be a burner. This should be lots of movement. Just because Rx’d is 95/65 doesn’t mean you should do it just because you can, go with a weight that is light for you and that you can move fast, a lot. For results post weight of each set of Deadlifts along with Rounds plus Reps for Met-con plus any scaling you used. Post Results/Thoughts to…

WOD: 1) “Angie”- AQAP: 100 Pull-ups 100 Push-ups 100 Abmat Sit-ups 100 Air Squats This workout may not be broken up or partitioned in anyway. You must finish the 100 Pull-ups before moving onto the 100 Push-ups, and so on. For this workout to count as Rx’d lets make sure you are doing real push-ups. If you don’t keep your knees, quads, and hips off the ground, and touch your chest to the ground and press back up maintaining that position you aren’t doing a full Push-up. For those of you out there who do half or third Push-ups, and you know who you are, I strongly, strongly recommend and encourage you to either slow down and do proper Push-ups, even if it means one at a time, or do them with a band. Doing things right will pay off in the long…
