Team Workout Tomorrow

That's right, everyone. It's time for another team workout!

Tomorrow's workout will be a three-person workout, and we're gonna call it Linda-ish, due to the fact that we're subbing shoulder press for bench press.

The workout will consist of 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps for time of the following:

Deadlift
Shoulder Press
Clean

Rather than the standard loading prescription for each of the exercises (1.5x bodyweight for deadlift, 1x bodyweight for bench press, and .75x bodyweight for clean), we're going to have four fixed-load divisions.

Division A:

Deadlift @ 275#
Shoulder Press @ 135#
Clean @ 175#

Division B:

Deadlift @ 225#
Shoulder Press @ 105#
Clean @ 135#

Division C:

Deadlift @ 185#
Shoulder Press @ 75#
Clean @ 95#

Division D:

Deadlift @ 135#
Shoulder Press @ 55#
Clean @ 65#

The rules are much simpler than last week's team workout, and are as follows:

1. In order for a team's results to be valid, each member of the team must have completed at least one rep of each of the exercises at the prescribed load by the time the workout is finished (and hopefully many more reps than just one!).

This means that if someone were able to get a ton of reps in deadlifts and cleans, but none in shoulder press, then the time for Linda-ish doesn't count.

Be honest with yourself and your teammates and pick a division that's correct. Everyone will get a much better workout that way.

2. Once the workout begins, each teammate goes until either of the following occur: a) he completes all of the reps for a particular exercise, or b) he can no longer complete the prescribed number of reps for a particular exercise.

In either case, the next teammate would pick up where the previous one just left off.

Let's walk through an example:

Teammate A starts the workout off at deadlift and gets all ten reps. He's done. Teammate B then jumps in and starts off with shoulder press for 10 reps. He knocks out six reps but can do no more. So he racks the bar and then Teammate C jumps in and finishes the remaining four reps. And now he's done. So now Teammate A starts in on the clean. He gets 4 reps. So he's done. Teammate B gets 5 reps, and is done. And then Teammate C gets the last rep. So now the round of 10 is done, and Teammate A starts off with deadlift for 9 reps. This cycle continues until the last rep of the last exercise (clean) is done.

Make sense? If not, ask away with questions in comments.
