  Strength WoD - "Chop Suey!"

For Loads:

Sumo Deadlift

3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3

.

• Strength Day y'all!
• The Sumo Deadlift is an amazing way to train the deadlift/hinge movement pattern. Going wider with the legs will help us gain some leverage on the bar (especially good for you is you may struggle to get into position for the conventional style deadlift). It also helps us build some very important strength through the hip area as we rotating the hips outwards and creating some serious force.
• It will be interesting to see how our Sumo numbers compare to the conventional numbers. One thing we will be adding into the session is that every rep will a reset deadlift, aka dead-stop deadlifts. There will be NO "TOUCH & GO" REPS today. Lift the bar. Lower it down then reset your position around the bar, without taking your hands off, and drive it back up again. This challenges us all to keep our tension throughout and not rely on the connective "bounce" off of the floor. Come the end of this session you will kn ow a heck of a lot more about your deadlift!!
• Hold the standards. Form is priority as always.
• Scale as needed.
