Workout
Metcon
AMRAP 12 (As Many Rounds As Possible in 12 minutes):
- 5 Deadlifts (185/125 lbs, adjust as necessary)
- 10 Push-Ups
- 15 Box Jumps (24/20 inches)
Instructions:
- Choose a deadlift weight that is approximately 50% of your 1RM, ensuring good form throughout the workout.
- Push-ups should be strict and scaled as needed to maintain intensity.
- Step down from box jumps if necessary for safety.
Summary
- Focus on building strength in two key lifts: Deadlift and Bench Press.
- The Metcon is designed to complement the strength work by including deadlifts at a lighter weight with high-intensity bodyweight movements. Aim to maintain a steady pace throughout the AMRAP.
