Strength:
Every 30 seconds for 5:00 minutes (22 total reps):
2 Banded Deadlifts with 60% of your 1RM on the barbell
Notes: These reps should not be touch and go. Focus on speed off the floor and adjust band size if needed. You should feel added tension, but not to the point where it slows the lift down. If you struggle to get into or maintain a good set up, try elevating the bar to maintain good lumbar position.
Band Recommendations: Purple Band for DL up to 200#, Red Band for DL up to 300#, Blue Band for DL above 300#.

The missing link in so much mainstream fitness programming, from bodybuilding to monostructural endeavors, is the neuromuscular piece—in particular, the development of coordination, accuracy, agility, and balance. We can sum these elements up as “technique.” Omitting them from one’s training necessarily results in only partial fitness, partial expression of one’s genetic potential, and a decreased threshold of maximal capacity. To increase work capacity across broad time and modal domains (the goal of CrossFit), technique is the crucial connection—whether your goal is to win the game, protect your life, complete the mission, or just be fit for the demands of everyday life at any age.—Greg Glassman
