I Can't Do What They Do!

Ricky Frausto Filed Under:

There seem to be a lot of people who visit our site and immediately say, "There's no way I can do that." You gotta start somewhere and better than anyone else in town Joe and I can get you there.

WOD
AMRAP in 15 minutes
5 Deadlifts
7 Burpees
10 Tall Cleans

This workout is centered around the deadlift so the load should be high. Focus your attention to maintaining a neutral spine throughout each rep. Tall cleans will be loaded but are meant more for technique and of course try not to break up the burpees.

4. Thanks, Mel! I gotta admit, it was nice to have an audience.
   
   Looked like the 8am people ROCKED today. I got 5 rounds, with blues plus 5s on the deadlifts, and 10s on the cleans. My biceps are killing me for some reason. I think I'll eat about a dozen eggs now.

6. Paul, you are the man!!! Way to go on the muscle ups. It was a thing of beauty to see! Literally brought a tear to my eye. :-)
   Finished 7 rounds. Yellow deadlifts (trying to make them prettier), and big-boy bar for tall cleans.
   Great job today, everyone!

8. Good job Paul, looked like you have been doing muscle ups for ever, it just flowed for you.
   Finished 7 rounds. Reds for deadlift, 10's on the bar for tall cleans. I really enjoyed this one, everything felt really good, even the burpees.

14. Paul, I'll let you borrow one of my halter tops. You'd blow through AT LEAST 25 muscle-ups with that! I'll pick a pretty color for you...
    :-)

20. Sorry I missed all the excitement! When I woke up and my arms wouldn't extend past 90 degrees (STILL sore from Wednesday), I knew it wasn't a good day for burpees.
    
    Congrats, Paul!
