You don’t always need to drop it…

Weightlifting often focuses on the “lifting” action of the lift (hence the name) more than the lowering, but we know that both are important.  What good is the strength to lift something heavy if you’re just going to drop it when you’re done?  What if it’s breakable? (Ask a mover about this…)

Continuing on last week’s theme of deadlifting with a tempo, we’re going to work on how we control the weight to the floor today. While it might not be as impressive to set down something heavy, it’s just as useful to train.

STR:

deadlift

4-4-4-4-4-4

(tng, with control below knee)

WOD:

5 rounds
10 S2OH (95/65)
10 deck squats
10 wall slams

    STR: 305# I let the bar drop on the last rep of the last set. My sensitive man hands let me down.

    WOD: 8:117 Rx. This was a fun one. My deck squats weren’t as terrible this time around.
