General Warm-Up
500/400m Row
-
2 x (Empty Barbell)
6 Tall Muscle Cleans
6 Bradford Press w/Lockout
8/8 Staggered Stance Barbell Good Morning
6 Back Squats
6 Sumo Deadlifts to Mid-Shin
Specific Prep
6 Sumo Deadlifts (Light w/Pauses)
4 Sumo Deadlifts @ 50-55%
4 Sumo Deadlifts @ 55-60%
Then 2-3 x 2 Reps building to working loads
STRENGTH: SUMO DEADLIFT
Every 1:30 x 6 Sets
4 Reps @ 80-85% of 5x5 Sumo Deadlift
This is the final touch on our sumo deadlift progression. The loading at 80-85% should feel strong and deliberate, not heavy or grinding. We are here to reinforce mechanics, stay connected to the movement, and build confidence heading into testing, not to accumulate fatigue.
PRIMER
1 x at working pace
200m Row (controlled, note pace)
5 Hang Power Cleans at working load
4 Front Squats at working load
3 Thrusters at working load
Use this to confirm run pace, barbell cycling rhythm, and thruster mechanics before conditioning begins.
