Today's workout is from PSKC MetFix.
Dale King, owner of PSKC, likes the workout for its transitioning demand, as the pulling requirement of the deadlift becomes more pronounced in the later rounds, while the consistent reps of the wall ball keeps them manageable.
PSKC MetFix is located in Portsmouth, Ohio. After returning home from Army service in 2010, Dale founded his gym with a simple mission—to train people to become capable and confident in order to be a positive catalyst for change for Portsmouth.

As we restart our foray into the realm of daily workout programming with you all, we find it is an appropriate time to revisit Coach Glassman's 2001 article, Foundations.
While the name has changed, and MetFix's mission has been refined, our underlying prescription for how to achieve optimal health has changed very little in the past 24 years.
"Though the 'Workout of the Day' is designed to meet the needs of elite athletes readying for the highest levels of competition, they can be toned down to provide an acceptable challenge for even the novice exerciser. Choose lighter loads, reduce reps, slow the pace, and substitute one pulling, pushing, or leg exercise for tamer versions of the same function."
If you need help or ideas for moderating these workouts let us know in the comments.

"No exercise or regimen will protect the back from the potential injuries of sport and life or the certain ravages of time like the deadlift"

While fledgling versions of other benchmark workouts had started to be seen, Chelsea was the first to be presented in its final format on August 3rd, 2003. It wasn't formally named until a month later with the publishing of Benchmark Workouts, then repeated as the day's workout on September 7th, this time with its official name.

When originally posted in 2001 this workout was truly different than what the rest of the fitness world was doing at the time.
Blending weightlifting and metabolic conditioning, it holds up as a classic, with a simple 3-word statement that encapsulates the high-intensity ethos.
