CrossFit:
A.) Do this as a warm up for part B. Get your deadlift heavier than what you will be using!
2 Rounds:
15 Cal Row or Bike
1min. of shoulder mobility
5 Deadlifts (start light and add a little each round)
2 Rounds:
10 Cal Row or Bike
5 Kipping HSPU’s
3 Deadlifts (heavier)
2 Rounds:
10 Cals of Row or Bike
1min. of HS Walk practice
1 Deadlift (eventually hitting something over 315/205)
*All I want you to do here is hit something over the weight you will be using for the workout. Around 20% more should help you get primed and ready. It’s also going to be pretty important to start getting your body ready to move FAST and get rid of lactate as you chip away at those deadlifts.

Protocol for building to a max lift
After 75% max, all progressive sets should just be a SINGLE rep with full mental focus and preparation going into each rep (setup, bracing, power, breathing, etc…)
75% x 1-2 reps
80-85% x 1 rep
90-95% x 1 rep
102-103% x 1 rep = New PR
Continue adding weight if you make the 102-103% weight!
All lifts have a 2-Miss Rule
A. Power Clean – Reps 4-3-2-1 (increasing)
This is meant to be just a WARMUP for the posterior chain and fast-twitch muscle fibers PRIOR TO THE DEADLIFT. Work from about 60% to 80% clean max over the course of the four working sets
B. Deadlift
Build to 3, 2 or 1-RM (your call based on how you feel)
This will be the TESTING DAY for Deadlift (squat was tested last week)
(Keeping fatigue low on ramp-up sets per guidelines at top of post)
C. Alternate Movements x 3 sets each:
No need to go super hard for this part. Just get some Back Squat and Front Squat volume in after the heavy DL. But stay safe, as low back will be a bit fatigued.
***The general guideline here is to go 50%, 60% then 70% of Back Squat over the course of the 3 work sets.
Back Squat x Reps 8-6-4 (increasing)
Rest 30-60 seconds
Front Squat x Reps 4-3-2 (increasing, same weight as Back Squat)
Rest 2-3 min
D. L-Sit – Test max length hold time in ONE SET
For different L-Sit variations, scroll through these Instagram images
Choose a variation that allows for a minimum of 20 seconds unbroken! If you make it, rest a few minutes and try a harder version!
E. Weighted Plank Hold – Find heaviest weight for 45 seconds unbroken
If you make it 45 seconds then you didn’t properly find your max. Rest a few minutes, add weight, and try again! All you need to do it NOT COLLAPSE
