In part 1, we have the “primer” week of our 20 rep cycle, athletes will explore their thresholds for the 20 rep loading. Athlete’s will use the data gathered from this week 1 primer in order to perform an actual 20 rep max test next week. The tables have turned today and we're climbing the ladder instead of descending. While the first 6-7 rounds may feel pretty smooth and solid, the workout really sets in about 7-8 rounds in and will test whether or not we have the capacity to hold our starting intensity or if we have to break and adjust in order to finish the climb.
Score | Time to complete work. Add 1s per rep not completed if time capped.

Push, Don't Pull
Remind athletes that the deadlift is a push movement with the legs, not a pulling movement with the back.
The arms and back provide support, but the primary force comes from the legs.
