Next-Level Coaching: In Defense of the SDHP

Of all the movements in the CrossFit repertoire, few are criticized as often as the sumo deadlift high pull. The movement was identified as foundational by CrossFit Founder Greg Glassman due to its transference of skill and high potential for power output, but critics of the sumo deadlift high pull (SDHP) challenge its efficacy and safety. In this defense of the SDHP I will tackle the issue of safety.

Read the article Next-Level Coaching: In Defense of the SDHP

The Sumo Deadlift High Pull

1

The sumo deadlift high pull builds on the deadlift, but we widen the stance and bring the grip inside the knees to facilitate a longer pulling motion. We also add velocity to the movement. The sumo deadlift high pull replicates the upward movement pattern of a clean or snatch and serves as a bridge between the deadlift and the faster lifts.

22:35 Rx and this burnt me. I had to slow down the runs and split up the thrusters. Hard breathing and blowup lower back, guess attributed from a lower body workout the previous day.


Felt good to have done and completed the workout at my pace!!

With 20# weight vest, 13:41.


Awful from just about the start.  Broke SDHPs and thrusters 10-5 generally except for round 1 (unbroken thrusters).  Vest made thrusters nasty and slowed me down quite a bit on the runs.  Runs were 2:00 for the first round, 2:30 for the others.  Did this with Ian (17 yo), who used 25# DBs for SDHPs and thrusters.  He beat me by a full minute.  100+ heat index didn’t help.

I was breathing heavily after 10 sdhp and throughout the thrusters, but the thrusters killed me (1st 1 set, 2nd 2 sets - muscle failure, 3rd 2 sets - insufficient breathing).


Tried not to go too hard on the rowing (500m) so I can have a good start on the lifts (2'10" - 2'20" each round).


Rx under 17'. M/28/80kg/6'


On the sdhp my arms failed me after 10 reps on the last round and on thrusters it was the legs, on the bottom part of the motion. Started taking a "short break" while locking the weight on top and it was better. I think I didn't entirely get the intended stimulus (more like 80%). 35kgs would have been perfect.


All in all I take 10-15s breaks between exercises or sets. Is that too much or good enough?

Today was my second ever CrossFit workout. I've respected the sport from afar, but Monday I tried Baseline to see where I was at and after I got my butt smoked, I decided to give this a try.


I did today at the Beginner's recommendation, despite thinking I could do heavier on the thrusters because, well, I have.


Good call.


Time: 22:13

Not overly happy with that time, but I also recognize it's a starting point. I hope I get to revisit this workout a year or so from now.


Notes: I went 8 bpm over my supposed max heart rate during the first round, which was interesting. Necessity slowed me down after that, but holy crap, this was a killer workout and now I see how people get hooked on this!

Both lifts awkward in running shoes. They throw all my balance points off.

SDHP unbroken in rnds 2 and 3, thrusters broken 2x, 1x, and 1x.

Runs about 2:20-2:30 each round

That’s an ugly one, HQ. Thanks.

Flavian, when the rx weight is this “light,” the workout is intended to be fast, with folks moving thru the lifts unbroken or with minimal and short breaks. Your heart, not your glutes or shoulders, should be the limiting factor on a workout like this. My 2 cents, anyway.

Question for you guys: what would be the intended stimulus?


Last time I used 40 kgs and it was slightly on the heavy side. By the 3rd round I had to split the thrusters in 3-4 sets, both because of muscle failure and hard breathing. I'm always split between choosing a lighter weight (halfway between M/F rx - more cardio) and a heavier weight (M rx - more strength). I usually choose the strength version and overextend myself so the WOD takes more time. Eg: this workout took me 15-16 mins as rx last time.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

Monostructural, core-to-extremity, jumping with a lot of range of motion.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM x


HEAVY


SCALING FOR LIMITING FACTORS

Endurance - sprint the run, live with whatever happens after that

Stamina - mush everything together into 1 round

Coordination - just deadlift instead of sdhp and either add a round and lower the intensity, or keep it at 3 but slow down the barbell movements


MY STUFF

7:19 as rx, except for I accidentally switched the order of thrusters and sdhp. This one really got me. Might have even been a 9. Didn't think it would be like that.
