What do I mean by “most human?” Simply, that we have two legs to run with, and thumbs and fingers and arms, to pick things up with. We can’t gallop, we certainly can’t fly, and sadly we’re not like dogs and do deadlifts with our necks (imagine a neck bigger than your thigh!!!) so we run instead, quite efficiently even at our worst and pick stuff up, in this case barbells. This workout will often piss some people’s bodies right off. Poor runners, knees, ankles, backs, feet, I get it. Also poor deadlifters, I get it, backs, cores, pelvic floors, you name it. So let’s take today as a chance to change that! Let’s practice running technique, give our legs a better pattern to try and work with, let’s advance our core strength to get us to where we can deadlift again comfortably. SO THAT IN REAL LIFE, when asked to move faster than walking we can, and if we’re asked to pick up something heavier than a pen we’re ready. Sound like a plan?!
The Workout:
3 Rounds for time of:
800m Run
50 Deadlifts (95/65)
Scaling to include everything under the sun. Be ready. I’ll be there with a fucking vengeance. I like this sort of thing.
