Saturday 1 July

Warming Up

  • 2′ machine

Then 2 sets:

  • 10 single leg deadlifts without weight
  • 10 KB thrusters
  • 10 bird dogs

 

Strength: deadlift high pulls & thrusters

The thruster is for most people heavier than the deadlift high pull so use that to determine your weights, but practice both movements. Aim for the following rep ranges: when fresh you should be able to complete 12 reps UB with the light barbell, 6 with the medium and 3 with the heavy barbell.

If the barbell is too heavy, use dumbbells for the thrusters and KB’s for the deadlift high pulls but try to maintain these numbers

Another fun chipper

  • 30 Sumo deadlift high pulls L
  • 30 Thrusters L
  • 20 cal machine
  • 20 sumo deadlift high pulls M
