4 Rounds
60s Squat Therapy
8 Banded Deadlifts
These deadlifts should be a warm-up. Start with something light (maybe 10lbs on each side). Then, work up in weight a little throughout the set of 8 or through the 4 rounds. Remember, this is for quality so speed is a non-issue. Do not go any higher than 50% of 1RM deadlift if you know it.
Your choice for today. If you have not done more than 25 Pull-Ups in the last week, then stick with option A. Option B and Option C have the same volume, which is more, but they are organized in a different manner. One last thing, if you have diastasis rectus abdominis, then please do yourself a favor and do elevated push-ups with the functional progression. For instance, 1 elevated push-up, 1 functional progression part 2 on each side è 1 rep. Use this substitute if you have DRA.
