Piled Higher and Deeper

JT Scott | 12/11/2016 | 3

We did this one as a team last Friday and it is awesome! As the rounds go on, the bar gets heavier and the box gets higher.

One key to success is to spend a few minutes prepping your deadlift: warm up to the max weight you plan to use for the WOD, then back the plates off to the starting weight. That way, you know you can move the barbell – you just have to force yourself to do it. It also allows us to scale this one really well, to make sure we’ve got a sense of what the weight should use for each round.

For the box jump overs, RX is a full two-footed athletic jump on top of the box (no hands!) and then going off the opposite side, and touching the ground on the far side with at least one hand before heading back into the next jump. If 24″ or 30″ is too high for you to safely jump, then scaling includes mounting the top of that box and getting over it any way you have to do it.

Each round you start fresh at the bar, so brace up and drive those heels into the ground!
