Workout of the week 30.12.13
My top workout this week…
Strength component:
Back squat – 5 rep max (completing 5 full reps to the movement standard, using the maximum weight you can maintain)
WOW (workout of the week):
OMEM (on the minute every minute) 12 minutes
5 Deadlifts
1 Burpee
10 Skips
Ideally this should allow you a 20 second break after each round until the next round begins on the minute.
Scale reps and weight to ability. If you need more of a challenge, I would suggest increasing the burpee repetition or changing the skips to a double-under standard (pass the rope under twice per jump).
Summary:
Deadlifts are one of my favourite movements and it is simply picking a heavy weight up from the floor with good form. It is a compound movement meaning it works multiple muscles and joints at the same time. It is a great safe movement, especially for beginners, and will rapidly improve your strength where the majority of us fall down.
