080820 Wednesday

7 Rounds for time of:

10 Deadlifts (use a weight you can do 15-20 reps with)
10 Push ups (from knees and/or use Reebok "cushion" or assisted dips if you can't do push ups)

Those of you new to these kinds of workouts are allowed to do 5 rounds.

There are A LOT of videos of deadlifts on YouTube showing improper technique. If you haven't covered deadlifts with me before just use a light bar and work the movement. Please remember these pointers for proper technique (if you don't and you get injured it's YOUR FAULT!):
1) Feet remain flat on floor throughout
2) Squat down and make sure bar touches shins
3) Back in neutral (natural curved) position
4) Shoulder BLADES over the bar

This is about the best video I could find although it's not ideal.

Only did 5 times through the full warm-up routine as still feeling effects of recent throat/chest infection. Actually managed it quite well and felt good afterwards so will probably move on next time.
