CrossFit Workout - Thursday 10/13/11

Deadlift 5x5

Warmup with 5 sets of 5 reps, starting with a very light weight, to reach approximately 85% of your 5 rep max. Then perform all 5 sets of 5 reps at that same weight. One tip to determine the proper weight to use for these 5 work sets, you should be able to complete all 5 reps without needing more than 2 or 3 seconds rest between reps while being able to keep both hands on the bar at all times. If you can't, drop it 10 pounds and continue.  Rest 2 to 3 minutes between work sets, but during the warmup sets only rest long enough to change the weights.

Record weight used for the 5x5 workout.

Cool down: 3 minutes of handstand holds against a wall.  Post # of attempts needed to get a combined total of 3 minutes upside down.
