I saw this hero WOD on the mainsite and knew we had to do it!

We will meet up in the '62 room to warm-up and then move to the 3rd floor weight room for the WOD (they have more dumb bells).

TUMILSON - posted 4 JULY 2012 on the mainsite

8 rounds for time:
Run 200 meters
11 x burpee dumbbell deadlifts (60/40 lbs. dumbbells)

NOTE:  Check out of the video for how to do the burpee dumb bell DLs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaKUHO9IVls
NOTE2:  Do not kill your back doing the BDDLs - maintain your lumbar curve and scale loads according to your ability!
NOTE3:  Run route - leave from the front of the 3rd floor weight room, run towards Stairway to Heaven (make a left at the intersection, rock wall will be on your right), run to the end of the building, touch the wall and return to the start point.  I paced it out, it should be close to 200 meters.

MAJ Grim -

Any suggestions on substitutions for burpee deadlifts? The gym here keeps flooding so I do not have access to weights.

Mickey,

Do you have access to any weighted objects like sandbags, medicine balls, kettlebells, etc.? If so, then do a burpee and a front squat with whatever heavy object you can find.

Best of luck and I'm glad to see you are keeping after it!

Mickey said...

Thanks sir,

I'll see what i can do.

Scaled down to 30 lb dumbbells (instead of 40).

Fun!

couldn't find anything heavy so I did a burpee-squat jump thing that I made up out there to make sure I got the legs smoked too like the burpee deadlifts.
