    The deadlift is, in a sense, the purest single event test of strength because it is one of the few lifts of dead weight (weight lying on the ground). In most other lifts the weight changes direction or starts in the air and several other athletic skills such as balance and coordination are emphasized. For example, both Olympic weightlifting events require a great deal of athletic skill in addition to strength. In addition, the deadlift is believed to be the oldest test of strength, dating back to cultures who competed at lifting the heaviest stones. — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadlift

5 rounds,

  • 10 meters of beck’s burpees*
  • 10 meters of walking lunges
  • 10 meters of bear crawl

For Time.




*Beck’s burpees: like a normal burpee, but instead of jumping straight up, you jump forward — as far as you can. It’s a burpee with a standing broadjump. If you manage to jump one meter on average, you can cover the 10 meters in only 10 burpees. It’s more likely it will take you ~20 beck’s burpees to cover that distance.
