If we have to scale the deadlift emoms, how should we scale? Should we scale the weight to a percentage and keep the reps or should we keep the weight and scale the reps? Also, if we cannot complete the emoms as written should we scale the reps so that it fits in a minute or can we keep the reps and scale by going every 90 seconds instead of every minute? Sorry for so many questions but I’ve been scaling these every week and I just wanted to hear a coach’s perspective on what the priority should be….

Session two
Deadlifts: 50 60 and 70 percent done with a belt to cue bracing and no hook grip double overhand. 80 didn’t budge without hook grip and 75 felt strained once I got past my knee. The fact that I was able to pull from the floor was encouraging. Baby steps

Primary conditioning: did push press from the rack instead of thrusters.
12:13 everything but du ub
could push the pace a little more tonight. Have felt a little bit better each of the past two days.

PM Session
Conditioning:
13:03 everything unbroken. Paced pretty easily for the first four rounds and then hit it hard for the last one. Bar muscle ups are finally feeling good. Hitting at my hip instead my rib cage.

Lateral shoulder raises with 8s

I’ve been recovering pretty well by not doing extra accessory work and that’s allowed me to focus on my movements and hit the workouts with intensity. Funny how following your guys’ directions actually helps!
