Today’s workout was a grueling
Metcon which consisted of 10 to 1 Deadlifts at 225lbs and Lateral Burpees. For each burpee you jump over your barbell
and do a burpee. The first round is 10
deadlifts and 10 lateral burpees, then 9 & 9 etc. etc. until you do 1
deadlift and 1 burpee. It’s a total of
55 deadlifts at 225 lbs and 55 lateral burpees.
We started with a strength session of deadlifts. I only worked up to 315 since I knew the Wod
had a ton of deadlifting. This was a
flat-out grueling WOD, I contemplating quitting a few times. The 12 o’clock class was petty empty just
three other guys. We were all covered in
sweat and gasping for oxygen. I got my
second wind after the round of 5. This
was probably because the rounds were really short now and I really started to
push myself. I think I finished around 9
mins. I had the fastest time which I was
only proud of since the other guys weighed at least 220 and I was getting
through the deadlifts faster than they were.
I thought I would pull away on the burpees since I weigh less, but these
were just so taxing. Everyone posted a
good time and really pushed it hard. Overall
a really exhausting workout and I was wrecked afterwards.
