% of 1RM Deadlift

Look to complete the lift @ 20x1 Tempo

We are looking to create a little contrast here between the absolute strength work and the seated box jump to high box. The goal here is to hit the Deadlift @ 20x1 Tempo and then focus on being dynamic and explosive for the Box.

We are creating a range for the Box Jumps today in order allow for those going for more height on the Box Jumps to target 3 high box jumps and those just working on form and more control to target 5 box jumps at a lower height

Scaling Modifications:

Hex Bar Deadlift

Sumo Deadlift

Block Deadlifts

5 Rounds for time:

12 Deadlifts, 155# / 105#
