10,000 deadlift

Team wod

 

20 min AMRAP

 

In teams of 2

10,000 lb total deadlift, team chooses weight

125lbs. for 40 lifts each

 

Then…

45 cal row ( 15 cal sprints)
45 thrusters (45 lb)

 

This was so much harder than it looked on the board.  I wanted to do the 150lbs. for the deadlift but when having to do 10 at a time and after trying a few out ahead of time something told me to drop it to 125lbs.  Luckily my team partner was good with that as he can lift more than I can.  One thing I don't like about team WOD's and AMRAPS is I don't feel like I can take the time to do some of the lifts correctly as I'm rushing.  At the same time I know I need to speed things up as I've been told.  I don't like holding others back either.  Guess I really have a lot to work on. 

One day I'm going to figure out these lifts.  There are times when I see the lifts like tomorrow and think about sitting it out and not going.  Then I hear all the coaches words in my head saying if I do that I'll never get better.  Just want that one day to happen soon that I figure out how to use my hips and legs and power that bar up without just using my arms.  I'm going to figure it out.  I'm going to learn to pop my hips and keep my arms straight and outward. 

Still need to work on everything else.  Guess it's time to do those squats.  I've done okay at home doing them but nowhere near as good as I could be doing.  Time to make some changes to that and makes improvements!
