WHITE BOARD BRIEF
Target time | 8:00-12:00
Our last workout of the week is a mix of fast and slow with some moderate deadlifts and an isometric gymnastics hold.
The load of the deadlifts is moderate and shouldn’t feel light, but should be moved fairly handily with every round completed in 1-2 sets. These should be tough, but manageable.
The L-sit hold is an opportunity to feel challenged. Athletes should be able to maintain :10 intervals on the bar with no more than :10-:15 of rest between sets.
We want the early rounds to be done under 2:00 because we expect later rounds to slow down. If needed, the total time of the L-sits can be reduced to :20.
However, although we do want the L-sits to be challenging, we also want to see high quality positions. The movement only counts if the knees are level with the hips. If we can’t maintain that, the movement can be scaled to a tuck hold with the legs at 90 degrees.
