Happy Halloween!

Deadlift

3x3x3x3x3x3x3

Post load to Comments

Warmup for the workout by doing light sets of DLs instead of the CrossFit warmup. Focus on proper form on all lifts. Rest a full 3 minutes between sets as the loads get heavier. Dealifts are a fundamental exercise for Crossfit. Start with PVC pipe until your form is perfect.

Here is a video clip of Mark Rippetoe on proper deadlift alignment.

The 2nd half of this video can be found on the main CrossFit website.

CF Warmup x 3

For time, 21-15-9 reps of..

KB/DB Swings - 35 to 55 lbs.
Thrusters - pair of 25lb DBs
Somersaults

Yes, I really wrote somersaults. Come to a standing position after each rep. If you have not gone upside down much lately, drop to 10 somersaults per round. We'll be building an interesting progression with these. This workout is hard and fast.

Sean calls this one 21 Minutes of Suck or Blackjack in Hell.

6 rounds – two minutes of jump rope followed by one minute for max reps, 30 seconds rest between rounds.

It goes like this....

Two minutes Jump Rope
One minute max reps – Squat
30 seconds rest

Two minutes Jump Rope
One minute max reps – Pushup
30 seconds rest

Two minutes Jump Rope
One minute max reps – Pullup
30 seconds rest

Two minutes Jump Rope
One minute max reps – Box Jump (20” minimum)
30 seconds rest

Two minutes Jump Rope
One minute max reps – Row (calories)
30 seconds rest

Two minutes Jump Rope
One minute max reps – Standing Press (1/3 - 1/2 of Body Weight)
30 seconds rest

Complete in any order depending on equipment available. Sub SumoDL High Pull if rower is not available. Count all successful reps for each round. Post the total number of rope jumps of all six rounds and the total number of max reps of all six rounds combined. Score looks like this, 1235/225 for 1235 rope jumps and 225 total max reps. Add “+P” if you meet Pukie!

Pushup Ladders plus Squats

Start the clock and during the first minute perform 1 pushup and 15 squats, then rest for the remainder of the first minute.

During the 2nd minute perform 2 pushups and 15 squats and rest for the remainder of the minute.

Continue increasing the pushups and by one rep each minute plus 15 squats for at least 15 minutes. Continue for as long as you are able, record highest number of pushups you are able to complete.

At the end of 15 minutes, you will have performed 120 pushups and 225 squats. This gets increasing more difficult in a hurry.

It will look like this:

Minute Pushups Squats
1........ 1......15
2........ 2......15
3.........3......15
4.........4..... 15

....... you get the idea

14.......14......15
15.......15......15
continue until you are unable to do any more pushups!

Finish with 50 reps of the Olympic Snatch with PVC or light bar
