Today's lifts are done at a 2-2-X-1 tempo.  Use a submaximal weight for this first exposure, emphasize consistent, correct posture during your lifts.

Post work load to comments.
(e1/8)

As many rounds as possible in 10 minutes:
5 Deadlift, 225/155
25 Double Unders

Scale this workout so that the deadlifts feel heavy, but doable, mostly in unbroken sets of 5 or 3/2 in later rounds.  Prioritize your ability to achieve and maintain a neutral back angle. Scale the Double Unders such that it won't take you more than about a minute and a half to complete your reps.

Post Rx and time to comments.

About The Food

Our menu is beef, all beef and nothing but beef!  Choice cuts of Premium Japanese and American Angus are delicately prepared and served raw to be grilled right at your table (yakiniku), as well as a decadent selection of variety meats (horumon).  Whether you’re a finicky eater and prefer to stick to delicious ribeye and short ribs, or more adventuous and up for our to-die-for raw liver and flash-boiled achilles tendon, you’ll be in cow-heaven.

About The Beef

We spent months hand-picking where each cut of beef would come from, settling for nothing but the tastiest meat from sustainably-raised cattle with no antibiotics or hormones.  We proudly feature beef from  local New York state farms courtesy of Dickson’s Farmstand in Chelsea Market, from Kansas’ Creekstone Farm courtesy of Pat Lafrieda, and Oregon’s Washugyu cows courtesy of Japanese Premium Beef.
