Romanian Deadlift and DB Snatches

Today’s WOD Romanian Deadlifts and DB Snatches SWOD A1. 5×5 Romanian Deadlifts A2. 1 min Double Under Practice 1. Grab the bar just outside of shoulder width; if grip is an issue, feel free to use a mixed-grip or straps. 2. Set-up in a hip-width stance with the toes pointing straight ahead and weight on your heels. You should have a slight bend in the knees. 3. The chest should be up, with the chin tucked and neck in neutral alignment with the rest of the torso. 4. From the starting position, focus on pushing the hips way back. In fact, just think about pushing the hips as far back as possible while maintaining the flat back and neutral neck position. 5. Once you feel a mild stretch in the hamstrings, drive the hips forward towards the starting position. If you start to feel any rounding in the low back before this, go ahead and return at that time. 6. As you approach the starting position, focus on actively squeezing the gluteals to finish the lift.
