SATURDAY
| WOD
DT 12 deadlifts 70/47.5 Rx+- Heavy (93/65) or Double Active– 52.5/35 Lifestyle– 35/25
This WOD should feel very uncomfortable. The sets should be mostly unbroken, which will make your hands/grip suffer–in a good way. The load should feel easy on the deadlifts, moderate on the Hang Power Cleans, and tough on the Push Jerks. The load should be such that you can get through the first couple rounds unbroken. This isn’t designed to be a heavy day, so scale accordingly.
Background: In honor of US Air Force SSgt Timothy P. Davis, 28, who was killed on Feburary, 20 2009 supporting operations in OEF when his vehicle was struck by an IED. Timothy was survived by his wife Megan and his son, T.J., who was one year old when he passed.
“Heavy” and “Double” versions of this workout have appeared since then, including at the 2015 and 2016 CrossFit Games, which led to surges in the workout’s popularity. |
