Deadlifts and burpees

Today's WOD was about speed but you also wanted to make sure you were not flying through it.  The deadlift is one of my favorite lifts (next to front squats) and just like with all lifts you need to make sure that you have good form.  Near the end of the WOD, I did not have my chest up.  I was hunched over.  Just because you are tired, that does not mean your form should slip.  If anything, you need to be more aware to make sure you have good form.  Bad form leads to bad habits and can also lead to you hurting yourself.  Now we wouldn't want that!

5 rounds for time
