Yesterday’s workout was grueling. I only say that because the sumo deadlift high-pull (SDHP) is not one of my favorite exercises. In fact, I think pretty much the only time I ever do that exercise is when I’ve done the “Fight Gone Bad” Workout of the Day.
The workout as posted on Crossfit.com Friday February 5, 2010 (100205) was as follows:
- 21-18-15-12-9-6-3 rep rounds of 135 pound Sumo deadlift high-pull
Got it done, but didn’t feel very controlled or pretty doing it. LOL. Definitely left me feeling gassed.
Great WOD and has made me realize that I need to focus on this fundamental movement much more.
Did you do the “pull to inverted hang” portion of this WOD? Or just a whole lot of SDHP? The workout was that rep range of each exercise. CrossFit.com is coming up with some pretty interesting WOD’s lately.
Got the pull to inverted hang dialed… but near the end it was resembling more of your standard SDHP. My shoulders were fried… crazy WOD for sure…
Sorry, Pete, my brain was fried. no didn’t get the full range of inverted hangs done based on the limited range of motion I have with my setup. I plan to do this workout again once we have the rings set up off the ceiling in Burnaby.
And to answer your question, yes, the .com has some crazy WOD’s coming out these days. I love that they are so dynamic and challenging. this gassed me quickly.
What was your time on this? Or wasn’t it for time?
Actually wasn’t for time. The only think that sucked was that I couldn’t do my inverted hang on my rings. my gym lacks the ceiling height. I’m gonna try this one again in one of my stores where i have rings set up. However, that being said it took me just over 25 minutes to get through the SDHP portion.
