Metcon (Time)

For time:
50/40 Calories of Rowing
40 Deadlifts (225/155 lbs)
50/40 Calories of Rowing

Given the challenges I have had maintaining good position on long deadlift sets, I opted to stay light at 135#.  Further, I wanted to use the HG low bounce plates.  Using straps I completed 40 reps in sets of 15-10-8-7 and felt really good.  I was able to complete 50 calories on both rows, just under the 4 minute mark.  Total time was 11:37 (just a bit under the 12 minute cap).  I feel like I scaled it correctly.

Weightlifting

Five sets of:
Barbell Hip Thrusts (5 reps @ 20X1)
(go heavy on these – a good starting weight might be around 80% of your 1-RM Deadlift)
Rest 45 seconds
Band Pull-Aparts (25 reps @ 1010)
Rest 45 seconds

I stayed at 145 for the hip thrusts.  Coaching cue:  shoulders full on bench at the top and pivot off the bench during the lower.  I went with a yellow band and had it doubled the first two sets, but only grabbed a single strand on the last 3 sets.  I was able to maintain good tempo for both movements.
