WOD A

Pulling And Pressing : 10-1 Circuit
Complete for quality, not for time:
10, 9, 8… 3, 2, 1 Reps of each:
Rest as needed between sets but move with purpose.

A1) Deadlift:
Unbroken touch and go reps. Start at ~50% of 1RM. Build slowly each set but avoid going to failure or letting positions be sacrificed. DO NOT attempt a new 1RM at the end of this. Max out at 85-90%, or a smooth / heavy single.

A2) GH Raise:
Do not have to be unbroken, if >5 get easy, try adding a light plate held across the chest. Sub to banded GHR, Reduce reps, or weighted hip extension as needed.

A3) Strict Press:
Same loading as deadlift.

A4) Wall walks:
(Cut reps in half, 5,5,4,4,3,3,2,2,1,1)
