From the CrossFit/Brand X forums, scaling info about this WOD along with info about the deadlift:

-------------------------------------------

"I wish I knew how you could overstate the value of the deadlift."
--Greg Glassman


Here are some vids everybody should watch regarding the deadlift whether you are familiar with the lift or not:

If you are familiar with this lift then you are a Big Dawg today:

Big Dawgs:
as Rx’d

Everybody else, if you are unfamiliar with the lift watch the videos above and the use the time today to practice this lift with a piece of PVC pipe or a light barbell.

A wise investment is the book Starting Strength 2nd edition by Mark Rippetoe. If you don’t have a coach this book will help you understand the lifts. If you do have a coach it will point out how little he/she knows.

Here is a link to the book:

Small, but strong posse this morning.

More fun KB skills with Torch to get us ready following the CF warm-up.

WOD:

315, 335, 355(PR), 355, 335, 275, 275

Form was going (and was not spectacular on the 355 lifts) so dropped down for a couple clean lifts at the end.

Thanks to Torch for the coaching and special props today to Anthony for great pulling and a new PR as well. Nice.

Did anyone find out about that supposed bomb threat on 27th during cindy last night?

245, 275, 275, 245, 255, 225, 225

Not my best day...

I like the lunch workout thing... though its tough to get enough time to fit in.

365

435(f)
435(PR)
445(f)
445(f)
435(f) - almost had it again, but fatigue set in and my back started to round so I had to drop it

Fun warmup too... as silly as I'm sure I looked during some of it. Always good to work on some new skills.

That's right! Thanks to Allison for a great warmup! I forgot how difficult it is to do a basic cartwheel.

If anyone feels like a metcon before/after deadlifting tonight, Crossfit Virtuosity is running a pay-what-you-will bootcamp class down at 20th and 5th. Starts at 6.30pm. Would love to see some of you ringers there ;)

Sam,

What time is the thing at Virtuosity done? I might consider it if it's still going on when I finish -- but that probably won't be until about 8:00.

Call me or text me if you get this.

Thanks,

Zach

Also, in case anyone needs inspiration for tonight...crazy...

Only 1000lb deadlifter in history. That's a quick way to get that 1000# total everyone wants...or you could just do it with the 1200#+ squat this guy boasts...and he looks like he gets low. What a beast.

325, 355, 365(f), 365(f), 325, 275, 275

was having a hard time setting my back, even on the last 3

Probably my worst day of the past year.
Beginning to question the widom of this challenge.

405, 415, 425, 435, 445, 455(PR), 465(PR) - Today was a good day. Fun training with Brett and Zach as well. We kept each other going to heavier weights. Good times.

Following on Craig's post -- was definitely fun training with Brett and him. They always beat me on heavy days - but also always give me great motivation and numbers to chase.

335, 355, 375, 395, 405 (PR), 410 (PR), 415(f)

Also had a really interesting warmup with Jack Bauer, "The People's Champ," as he called it, made me feel more like a martyr to the people -- the man in the middle is sort of screwed.

Also did a WOD he said he pulled from another affiliate and they called it Jack Bauer.

i thought so but i will and see if others think the same

I think that to get the personal loans from creditors you ought to have a good motivation. Nevertheless, once I have got a financial loan, just because I wanted to buy a bike.

genericpharmacia.com provide the customers with the drugs at the lowest possible costs because they do not have to spend too much on maintaining the physical shop and on hiring the person who will handle the shop. Very less maintenance and rental is required for the online drugs stores so additional savings are done here. Also, www.drugstoregenerics.com purchase the medicines directly from the drug manufacturer so they get the drugs at very less costs and the drug wholesaler doesn’t come in between.  This helps the online pharmacies to keep the prices of the drugs at comparatively lower rates than the shopkeepers.

Just about six million people dwell on our planet, 75 percent know of jesus. One man advertising in only one country, initialised it, by word of mouth. People today have the internet with which to reach all of those people, all this at your fingertips, you can change anything, go for it bad boys!!!!!!
