Today’s workout will be quicker than the WODs we’ve done so far this week, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy! We will be performing a descending ladder of deadlifts and broad jumps; that is we will do ten deadlifts and ten broad jumps, then nine deadlifts and nine broad jumps, then eight deadlifts and eight broad jumps, and so one until we finish with one deadlift and one broad jump. Try to pace yourself throughout today’s workout, and remember: once you get through the round of seven, you are already more than halfway done! Also, as always, pay close attention to your form as you perform the deadlifts, and pick an appropriate weight for you. A quicker time is never worth injuring yourself!
If you are an experienced athlete and feel capable, please perform the following WOD as prescribed (Rx):

If this type of workout is new to you, please perform kettlebell deadlifts instead of deadlifts with a barbell. You can also jump with one foot leading rather than with two feet together if traditional broad jumps are too difficult for you. A beginner’s version of today’s workout could look like this:
