Diane
“Diane” is a classic CrossFit WOD that combines weightlifting and gymnastics. Here’s the structure:
“Diane”
21-15-9 reps for time:
• Deadlifts (225 pounds/155 kilograms for males, 155 pounds/105 kilograms for females)
• Handstand Push-Ups
Tips:
1. Deadlift Technique: Maintain a neutral spine and proper deadlift form throughout. Be mindful of your back during the higher-repetition sets.
2. Scaling Handstand Push-Ups: If standard handstand push-ups are challenging, consider scaling by using an abmat or doing pike push-ups. Ensure a full range of motion.
3. Pacing: “Diane” is a sprint, but avoid going out too fast. Find a pace that allows you to push through all rounds without excessive fatigue.
4. Breathing Control: Efficient breathing is crucial during high-intensity workouts. Coordinate your breathing with your movements.
Benchmarks:
Completing the workout within 5-8 minutes is a common goal. Elite athletes may aim for sub-4 minute times.
