WOD: Fun With Ladders

Warmup
joint mobility, pullups, squats, deadlifts, stretching

Workout
For time, ladder down from 20, by 2s (not separate, 4 exercises at each rung)
-swings (20kg)
-pushups (on the 20kg bell handles)
-shrugs (20kg)
-leg lifts

Results
Finished in 32:45, could have done better. I was feeling weak today, coming down from a coffee high. But this workout turned out to be just what I needed.

Swings were easier than I thought, should have gone with the 24kg bell. Shrugs and leg lifts were pretty easy too. Pushups got tough.

The only broken reps were on the pushups in the 4th round (10,4). There were a couple other "bridge" rests with the pushups, but I don't consider those broken.

  1. You make it sound so fun! Deadlifts and romanian deadlifts are my favorite hamstring/glute exercise!!

  2. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic...'cause it doesn't sound like I make it sound all that fun when I read it :)

    I do miss barbell deadlifts and the other barbell olympic lifts too. The kb deadlifts I do for warmup are really more mobility/stretching exercises than anything else.

  3. Maybe just the title? But no, didn't sound like you had a blast doing it =)

    Oh, I gotcha. Well, my leg day is tomorrow so I'm excited to get to those deadlifts. I have noticed a HUGE change in my hamstrings from doing them. No more cellulite/cottage cheese look, yay!
