Establish an approximate HS:
Deadlift
5 Rounds for time:
3 Deadlifts (335/235)
20 Pull-ups
200 M Run
For all of you out there who see the big numbers next to the deadlift and are thinking the deadlift is the centerpiece of tomorrow’s workout, please understand that you are misreading the WOD. In fact, the deadlift, though very heavy, is meant to serve as a trap. It should be nothing more to you than a heavy triple which throws off your ability to do high volume pull-ups and run fast. Let’s not get caught up on the prescribed load, at the expense of the intended effect of the workout. Yes, tomorrow’s deadlifts should be heavy, but manageable and marginalized in your strategy compared to the other two pieces of the puzzle.
