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:

Let me also add that I found this video useful:

Lastly, let me add the following about how you'll want to dress: deadlifting goes best with pants or knee-high socks if you prefer to wear shorts. (Otherwise you might cut up your shins with the bar.) Footwear should be a hard-bottomed shoe, not a cushy sneaker. Your best bet is weightlifting shoes or Chuck Taylors or simply barefoot.

Can anyone advise of a good seo company? theres a mound of them, some people say use who shows up first in the search engines when you type in seo which kind of makes sense but I'm not sure. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I'll check back regular for responses.

I'd have to agree 100% with you that search engines do give some type of value to links whethere they be dofollow or nofollow. You may not receive any Page rank transfer over but your SERPs will still rise.
