Excellent job Kelly!

First time doing low rep deadlifts in a long time. Also the first time I've been able to do crossfit for 2 months. Made a nice change from desert calisthenics! Going to hurt tomorrow

felt pain in lower back, decided to stop there. 225 actually felt heavy and that's when i knew i had a problem. I felt the back pain initially when I was loading up the bar, but figured it might go away after the first set. Nope.

Just a comment, after about a mounth of doing this stuff, my DL max went up by 30 lbs. Partly this was the assistance with form from the information on the site/Journals, but also from all the damn leg work.

I hope I make it through karate class tonight. Kelly, you're an inspiration. I did 5 hspu in your honor after the dl's.

What's a good starting weight for deadlifts? I weigh 185 pounds, and I'm just starting the crossfit program.

Light and safe, Ben. Light and safe.

Felt great today!

First of all; mega congratulations to Kelly for lifting 15 +% of a TON on the DLs today & thanks for the inspiration. I maxed out @ 275 with the 2 inch thick adelmans axle so 300 would be a great goal sometime in the future for me .

Threw in some hspu's to top it off.

Matt, Bob, Jim and Dave - thank you! I'm working toward a beltless triple body deadlift as a year end goal. Crossfit is amazing as my max keeps moving up despite not formerly training to do so.

Dave, lifting 275# with a 2" diameter grip is outstanding. Very nice work.

Played water polo with my sons team yesterday. Woke up stiff and sore today, as I haven't been in a pool in 20 years. Even so this week marks my 6 month anniversary with CrossFit. When I started 135# deadlifts were a trial due to a back injury several years ago. Today:

I just wanted to add something. I don't post very often at all, but I am really stoked! Prior to starting Crossfit about 2 months ago, I was running 4-5X week and working out. Since starting Crossfit, I have backed off my runs to 1-2X week. I just finished a flat 5K that felt like about a 25:30-26:00 pace which is a slow cruising pace for me. I looked at my watch and was amazed to find a 23:36. I was shocked. When I was finished I didn't feel at all winded or really maxed by the run. I am totally, totally sold on Crossfit!!! Thanks for letting me share my excitement!

Beltless. I went lighter for the first sets to set myself up for a PR attempt, so I was happy to hit it. Congrats to everyone on the impressive PRs. Kelly-- my goal is also a triple BW beltless lift, but I have a LOT farther to go than you (I weigh 170)!!

It's my second workout with Crossfit. Yesterday was a rest day. I found that to be much easier than today's WOD. I fell slightly short of the recommeded 322211111 reps. I stopped at 12. Very tired.

Did something a little different today since I'm getting ready to move. Did farmer's walks with dumbbells (12 sets of dbs, 1220# total, avg db weight a little over 50#). Carried them about 45' from the db rack, up the stairs and about another 20' to stage them in the kitchen. Total time was 7:32.

Continued moving stuff (at a slower pace) for about 10 minutes before doing the deadlift workout:

3 x 155#
2 x 165#
2 x 175#
2 x 185#
1 x 195#
1 x 205#
1 x 215#
1 x 225#
1 x 235#

For those of you here for awhile probably know that I have been chasing the 400 lbs dl for a long, long time. Today it finally went. I didn't know whether I was going to be pulled over, or pull it up. I have a long way to go before 3 x bw ( I am 180 lbs), but this was certainly the first milestone. Thanks to Crossfit.

was using kilo plates (thus the odd numbers). Felt good but I had nothing to take the weight higher (tried but couldn't keep my back locked).

All the weights I had access totaled 168#.

So, did some modifications to the reps:

6-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2

Then,

6-4

All reps done at 168#.

Good work guys!

Check out this site: www.housegymnastics.com. Shows how you can use regular house fixtures to do gymnastics.

Can't do dead lifts don't have the equipment so I did the following instead. 1/2 mile run with a 1.5 mile walk, counting down from 21, 18 etc.. we did the exercise where you use a heavy weight and squat then put the weight over your head and we did crunches to match. Used a 15 pound weight, need to up that next time.
