WHICH WOLF ARE YOU FEEDING?

“………the things you focus on will begin to engrain themselves in your mind, changing behaviors, actions, and even your general outlook. Are you wiring yourself to see opportunities for improvement? Or are you programming yourself to find excuses?“—Chris Shugart,  TNation.com

 

TWO COMPONENTS TO DEADLIFTING SUCCESS

 

 

Workout of the Day
Press: 1×3 @ 70%, 1×3@ 80%, 1×2 @90%

For time:
“Annie”

50-40-30-20-10

double unders

sit-ups

then
5 rounds of:
10 push-ups (hand relelase)
15 squats

Post your scores to the Whiteboard.

The deadlift is a bit more than just “bending over and picking up a bar.”  I like to tell trainees that the hips and shoulders should “break” synchronously.  Meaning there should be a synergistic dance or interplay between the hips and shoulders.  If the hips break first or come up too fast in relation to the upper body, we just need to slow things down a tad and get more tension.

Lack of tension = an energy leak, and that’s the last thing you want when trying to pull heavy things off the ground.

    “As a side effect, you won’t be such a bitter douche anymore.”

    My favorite sentence from the article. One should always strive to not be a douche. 🙂

    That helicopter hair was a fight or flight response to those box jumps…….highly evolved skill, especially useful during my second WOD 🙂
