Deadlift
1-1-1 (Heavy Singles)
After a thorough warm up, perform a few heavy singles. If you’re feeling good then go up to or beyond 95%. If you’re newer or haven’t Deadlifted in a while, then aim to get near 85% effort for a few singles.

Week 6 of 6
_____________________
30 Minutes for Quality:
1:30 Bike
12 Wall Ball
8 Tall Kneeling Overhead Palloff Press
4 Alternating Turkish Get-Ups
Rotate through the movements at a low intensity/aerobic pace. If you wear a HR monitoring device then aim to say below about 150 bpm. Otherwise, you should be able to breathe through your nose the entire time and/or hold a conversational pace. Choose load and height on the Wall Balls and focus on balance and efficiency. Use a light band on this Pallof variant, focusing on a strong brace of your midline. Use dumbbells or kettlebells for the Get-Ups and alternate arms on each rep.

Deadlift: 145x10x3 with a tempo down. Holy schnikies, that is a test to my grip strength! Hip was a little stiff afterward but no pain.
Tried WBs with a 10# ball but that started to feel not-so-great so I switched to slam ball after 2 rounds. I think it’s the fact that I can’t control the speed of my squat on the way down in a WB the way I can in a slam ball.
Did the TGUs with a light barbell for a little extra challenge. I’m way better at these than I used to be!
