Deadlift total tonnage: 10.09.08

Not for time:

Deadlifts: 20/15/10/5
Pullups: 5/10/15/20

Dessert: Heartbreak Hill run

Post total tonnage lifted in Deads.

Each set of deadlifts must be consecutive reps - while you may pause at the bottom, if your hands leave the bar the count for that set starts again at zero. Take your time between sets - this is not a race - give yourself adequate recovery time between sets.

Good Clean Form: 10.09.07

Not for time - emphasis is dialing in your form. Long rests between sets for adequate recovery.

Cleans: 20/15/10/5/3/1.

Use a lighter weight, not to exceed 1/2 body weight on the 20/15/10 reps.

Ramp up on the 5/3/1 phase with added weight, focusing on the form cues you received from your coach to improve performance.

Post your 1RM. Compare to 6/24.

DB Clean & Press, Pullup: 10.09.02

For Time: 21/15/9 of

1. DB Hang Power Clean and Push Press with 1/6 BW DB (i.e. 180# man uses 30# DB)
- Right Arm
- Left Arm
2. Pullups

Important:
1. The HANG portion of the lift means that DB starts hanging above the knee. The POWER portion of this lift means that you catch it in a relatively upright position. Remember that this is a hang power clean and press.
2. Pause between the finish of the clean and beginning of the press - don't forget that the push press starts with a quick dip and drive from the hips.
3. "Jump" the weight up. Jump so that your hips are being used to displace the weight vertically. Do not turn this exercise into an upright row and shoulder press. JUMP!!!

Post time with any mods/scaling. Compare to time on July 20.

Spartans: add 21/15/9 clapping pushups into the mix - and audible clap is required for the rep to count.
