Strength WoD:
Sumo Deadlift
5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5
.
- The Sumo version of the Deadlift os a fantastic way to build a strong hip joint as you having to drive those knees out and keep the angle in your feet at the same time.
- Look also to take the "slack" out of the bar before the bar is even leaving the floor. Get that set and then drive your feet/legs into the ground beneath you to push your way to a standing position. On the way down really work to move your hips as far back as possible.
- Lets NOT do "touch & go" reps. Instead we want you to initiate a quick reset when the bar is on the floor. This will force you to again & again take the slack away and enforce your pushing drive when its time to move the bar up.
- Today start out a bit more sensibly with your first working set. Warm up lighten add a little bit, then if moving well add some more. No percentage guidelines today. Just lift what feels challenging and do it well!
- Get round your mates, watch them lift, cheer them on, grab some high fives and it'll be a good day!!
- Hold the standards. Form is priority as always.
- Scale as needed.
