Recovering fully to chase intensity

But don’t let that fool you – we’ll still be working quite hard.  Our workout today will take about 30 minutes, alternating between one minute of work and two whole minutes of rest.  This amount of rest will allow us to go pretty heavy on the deadlifts (you’ll notice the Rx is kind of up there) and sprint through the ball slams and burpees while still having enough recovery to lock in good form and attack our heavy bar again at the three minute mark.. Work with your coach to choose a weight that will be appropriately challenging.  We don’t want to get sloppy, but we want that bar heavy.

WOD:

10 rounds
1 minute of:
3 deadlifts (315/205)
10 ball slams
ME burpees
rest 2:00

    WOD: 98 burpees (215# DL, 20# ball)

    Burpee splits were 9 and 10 with an OMG I’m going to finish this 12 at the end. Feel like I scaled reeeeeeasonably well on the deadlifts. 1RPM is 265, and I feel like my form would have been a little janky at 235. But I’m always a little cautious / gun-shy with deadlifts for time.

    WOD: 134 burpees @ rx (205# DL, 16# ball). Did 7 sets of 13, with 2 sets of 14 in the middle, and a set of 15 to cap it all off.

    feels good to be back (and with healed hands… for now)

    WOD: 102 burpees, Rx weight on bar. 205# DL, 14# ball. held avg 10/min, then 11 each of the last 2 rounds. i like how the superset (during rest time) was prowling around the box like caged animals 🙂
