#MAINLINEMONDAY; CFML’S HIGH POWERED OPEN GYM WORKOUT OF THE WEEK:

9/11 Tribute Workout

FOR TIME

2001m Run*

11 Box Jumps 

11 Thrusters 

11 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups

11 Power Cleans

11 Handstand Push-Ups

11 Hang Power Clean

11 Toes to Bar

11 Deadlifts

11 Push Jerks

2001m Row

Scaling Options:

  • Neither the run or the row should exceed 10 minutes.  Choose a distance that you can complete them in 10 minutes or less
  • The barbell should feel heavy, but not feel like a max effort attempt.  Choose a weight that you can complete at least 5 of the reps unbroken.  

Advice from our coaches:

As with any hero workout, let’s remember that it’s a privilege to be able to come in and move / celebrate our fitness today.  This is a long workout with a ton of barbell.  Make sure to warm up ALL lifts thoroughly with an empty bar before loading weight.  Aim for 1-3 sets on the barbell movements.  Choose a pace on that first run that you can maintain (don’t come out too hot!).

Why You Shouldn’t Avoid Deadlifts
Deadlifts can be a very intimidating movement for weightlifting beginners or those suffering from injuries. We’ve all seen the horror stories of people hurting their backs or seen lovely videos of puking mid deadlift, but picking things up and putting them down are a very necessary part of life that you should be perfecting every day.
