Darcie ready for today’s deadlifts!
Heavy.
There’s not much better than a conditioning workout with lots of heavy deadlifts. Unless you don’t like deadlifts. In which case there’s a lot better than a conditioning workout with lots of heavy deadlifts. But either way you’re going to do it because you’re not a cherry-picker type CrossFitter, right?! Of course you’re not! So how can we best manage all of these reps of heavy deadlifts?
We talk about technique time and time again. It’s always important but a day like today is where it really counts. We’ll give you guidance on if you should RX today’s load versus scaling it down, but regardless of what weight you choose, we have to make sure the mechanics and technique are in place. It’s all things you’ve heard from us before: ensuring the set-up is proper with a pre-tensioning of the hamstrings prior to lifting the bar, keeping the bar close not only on the way up but on the way down, and making sure the sequence of movement is correct. We will review all of this today so if you’re not sure what some or all of this means, don’t worry. That’s why you come to an actual CrossFit gym….to get coached!
Another consideration for today will be your strategy. For most, smaller sets will be the way to go. Chipping away to the total number of reps using smaller sets might minimize rest versus larger sets while allowing the ability to maintain really solid form. If deadlifts are your jam, then go for the larger sets. There are different ways to approach this so think about how you’ll go for it!
