D-Day: Deads and Metcon

Back to the new Y on Robinhood Road for my DL/Metcon day.

Buy-in: 5:00 rowing (~1050m)

WOD: Deadlifts + Metcon

Deadlifts 1 x 5

Warm-up sets: RDLs 1 x 8 x 45#, 1 x 5 x 65#
1 x 5 x 95#
1 x 5 x 115#
1 x 5 x 135#
1 x 3 x 155#

Work set: 1 x 5 x 175# FAIL

Massive failure - only got 3 reps before my left hand grip gave out. Almost dropped the damn bar. I walked away and came back to do reps 4 & 5 as heavy singles. Boy, was I pissed. Direct grip work may be in order.

Metcon: 1 mile run on the treadmill @ 1% incline and 7 mph pace. Tried to maintain POSE technique - think I was fairly successful based on how my calves felt when I was done.

Cash out: Sampson stretch x 3, ATG squat hold for 3:00
