"Diane" (deadlifts/pushpress)

Strength Training:  3x5's

MetCon:  modified "Diane"

Rx'd:  21-15-9 225# deadlifts + handstand pushups

Our version:  21-15-9 deadlifts (about 60% of 1RM) and pushpresses (about 80% of your 5-rep working load on SOHP).

This is a short, heavy metcon that some of you have done before.  Use your loads from last time to set yourself up today.  Ideally, you want to get this work done between 5-8 minutes.  If you went beyond 10 minutes last time, you were loaded too heavy.  (You may have had the strength to do it, but this workout is intended to be a high-intensity anaerobic effort; if it's too heavy, you'll have to stop too often to achieve the desired effect.)  If you finished under 5 minutes last time, bump up the weight today.

KZ:  6:47 (99#, 44#)
SS:  6:51, nearly a minute faster than before! (99#, 44#)
BHeg:  6:54 (55#, 30#)
DH:  6:22 (99#, 48# / 22kg)
