WOD 4/21

We did a lot of arms yesterday, so today is a bit more leg focused. Complete one round of 40 reps of each movement, into 2 rounds at 30 reps of each movement, and finally 3 rounds of 20 reps of each movement. 6 total rounds of this triplet. This is a higher volume workout, working on a bit of muscular endurance. Still make sure that you maintain good form - and adjust reps or take breaks as needed in order to do so. 

Calf raises - I did these off of a stair for more range of motion - but you can do them from the floor, off a curb, or amp up to single leg if desired. Slow and controlled during both the raising and lowering phases!

Deadlifts - I have a pretty wide stance with my feet, and do not go all the way to the ground on these due to the limitations of my belly. I’d rather you focus on hinging your hips BACK, loading up those hamstrings, and really feel it there and into your glutes, rather than worry about getting your weight (KB, DB, book, purse, whatever) all the way to the floor. 

Shoulder press - keep those ribs down, abdominals engaged, and press straight overhead so that your hand finished stacked over your shoulder. You can sit on something to stabilize your pelvis, or keep your back flat against a wall, to really cue you to keep those ribs down and avoid overextending your low back. 

Have fun!
