Blaster of a Workout..

CrossFit Games Blaster

5 Rounds for Time:

5 Deadlift (275/185 lbs)

10 Burpees

* Watch your deadlift form

* Should be short, hard, and fast

~~~

Well, the fire-breathers in my gym were fast, but only a handful of women were able to do the heavy weight of 185lbs.. my deadlift load was 135lbs, and my time clocked in at just over 8 minutes (I wanted to get it done under 8..).

Doing heavy deadlifts during a Met Con was a new experience for me, I found I wasn’t really good at just tapping down and lifting again; two in a row max. My breathing was all over the place, and was out of sync with my bracing for the lifts.

Regardless, this was a wicked blaster of a workout.. I’m sore in all the right places, and in a good, non-injured way!

Merry Christmas!
