STIMULUS
• The big thing that sticks in this workout is the single heavy deadlift to start each round
• This should be a weight that is a little scary and very challenging, but one that allows you to move well without failing any reps
• The goal is not to go prescribed here, rather it is to lift something outside your comfort zone that is heavy for a single rep
• Choose a toes to bar variation that you are capable of completing 20+ reps unbroken when fresh
• You can step or jump out of the burpee, but must takeoff and land with both feet over the bar
MOBILITY:
Make sure to foam roll your back!!!
