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:

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:

Nice work, Natalie and Sara!
I tried doing just some DL form - without a bar - at home today and my ankle hurt a little, so I'm thinking heavy DLs are not the way for me to expedite healing this thing.

bench press 5 X 5
100
105
110
115 (fail on 4th rep)
112 (fail on 5th rep)

Then:
8 min AMRAP - 11 rds

Oh, I love the deadlift.
135-145-155-165-170(PR)-155-155
This cycle has destroyed my grip. Attempting these after a 5k row was an overall unpleasant experience.

265
275
285 (f)
280
285
The last time I did this WOD I tweaked my back a little on an ugly 295 PR. I decided a try at 285 was plenty for tonight.
405
415
425pr
435f
Ran out of time, My legs were absolutely blasted by this last cycle and my form was very U-G-L-Y, but still got the pr.
