Deadlift - Metcon

Tuesday, June 21, 2022

CFG - OPEN GYM

1300

Warm Up

foam roll
hamstring sweeps
reverse hyperextension

Weightlifting

Five Sets of:
Deadlift (5 reps @ 2011)
*Use Hex Bars for Deadlifts Today
Rest 3 minutes - Increase the deadlift load each set

I worked up from

195
235
265
295
325#

I agree that variation is important and the hex bars certainly provided that.  The grip was a larger diameter than I am used to and the range of motion was significantly reduced.  I felt like there was a lot more loading on the quads relative to the hamstrings.  The posterior chain strength is not as important as it is with a straight bar.  I was able to keep good tempo.

Metcon

Instead of the CFG programming, I opted for 

3 Rounds of
10 walking lunges
1 rope climb
400 meter run

This was OK, but my runs were really slow and I finished in 12:11
