Posterior Chain Couplet
This is a CrossFit HQ workout that I've taken and scaled down. It is:
21-15-9 reps of 225lb. deadlift, alternating with 400m runs.
Before the workout, I estimated 1) that this combination of movements was going to manhandle my posterior chain (lower back and hamstrings) and 2) that eight minutes would be a stellar and marginally obtainable time for me. I don't usually play this sort of guessing game with my workouts, but I felt particularly determined to test my threshold for this combination and so decided to wear a wristwatch, allowing me to gauge my pace on the 400s. Pleasantly surprised, I crossed the plane of the garage door at exactly 8:00. Booyah, posterior chain.
