eric - you pick the weight anytime it says "post load" and no weight/weight range is given. as much as you can handle to get it done.
Body WT DLs + Ring dips @ 18:29
after the 1st set the dips ate up most of my time & were in splits of 10s & 5s
I may just stick to 150# DLs for high reps as that # is a lot less stressful on my knees
bw-185, d/l #225,as written...12:51
did this immediately after wod 041112.
wod as prescribed, DL @ 185#
time = 19:08
BW = 168
BW = 195
DL at 225

tried this workout with friday's, did not last long. did three rounds, legs gave out. oh well, better luck next time.

Great workout.
I see a lot of people posting "Assisted Dips". What are they? Are they just dips on the Gravitron machine?
Troy -
Gravitron, toes on chair, bands and spotter assist. Sometimes I use all of those at the same time. *grin*
Pretty Smooth Workout
For first three rounds dips done all 30 at a time, after that broken into 20-10.
Weight was 100 advancing to 130. Never done deadlifts before and it was hurting so I'm proud.
One week on Crossfit down!
19:23
BW: 160
DL's: 185; all dip sets broken, mostly 5's after first round
19:35 as Rxed w/225. Rested 10 minutes then did 20 breathing squats w/225. Shoveled snow before and after the WOD.
16:12
100 lb deadlift
pushups instead 0f dips
Back from a week out sick. Did Linda (3 bars of pain) instead. Tried to post scores to that day, but they've passed into the archive. Posting here will let me search later.
DL 225 LBs
Bench 155 KBs
Cleans 135 LBs
42:00 minutes
overtraining be damned, I went to bed at 2am, woke at 7, 8, 9, and 11:30 before breakfasting on surprise merengue cookies and a protein shake (with some fat before the cookies). Felt like crap until after the WOD. Tomorrow will be a good rest day, I'm meeting a gymnastics coach to arrange some private lessons for myself. Pity there are no adult training sessions in Cincinnati.
14:10
DLed BW (155#)
dips assisted with 40# subtraction
followed with weighted pullups: 3x3@35, 3x3@25
practiced various kicks for warmup
26 min.
BW = 162 lb.
Deadlift was 135 lb.
Did pulldowns on a machine, only used 35 - 45 lb.
(still having trouble with a pec muscle, which warns me not to do dips)
Did this one in crossfit 'strength training' style:
Did 30 min of as many rounds as I could of 5 deadlifts@ 275 (I'm 200) / 5weighted dips (w/60 pds).
I do this about once a week.
Does this violate crossfit principles?
My respiratory rate says no!
10:41.96
DLs @ 205 (bodyweight 165lb. this morning). Did the last 5 reps of each Dip set ballistic-style...that is, I "launched" on the concentric phase and got air off the bars, then caught the bars on the way down. Rinse and repeat.
I really didn't want to work out today - the DOMS from the past two workouts is killing me. I missed the gym (closes at 6), but I did it anyway (thanks AMR!). I used kitty litter for the DLs (34lbs), and chair dips... but it worked, I'm wiped!
26:40
Weak and slow today. Sure broke a good sweat, though.
25:21 225# DL, 275# dips
BW 169
DL 185
Time: 22:15
Comparing that I was tired, hungry, sore and had the worst day at work EVER I felt I did pretty good. I'm sure Monday's workout will bring me down from my little high though.
started out w/ a run workout:
800m jog warmup
4x800m - 400 sprint(1:21/1:25/1:21/1:23), 400 jog/walk
3x400m - 200 sprint(:35/:34/:35), 200 jog/walk
400m cooldown
that was a good workout in itself...and then i did the wod as follows:
DL: 135# unbroken (after the runs, legs were tired and i still suck at these)
Dips: broken into 2 sets for 1st 3 then 3 sets for last 2
forgot to post time...15:19. man, im losin it.
Five rounds for time of:
Deadlift 10 reps
30 Dips
205 lbs. for the deadlifts.
Used the gravitron for sets 3-5.
20:56 with only 2:00 of it spent on deadlifts.
Damn dips.

Heart pounding hard immediately (1st round), got a bit dizzy a couple of times.... this blood pressure medicine may be doing me in. But I have been missing a lot of training days after my break.
Day 6 of self-imposed exile. Some call it a rest week.
DL's are what brought me to this point. Glad I took a pass.
Legs hurt from yesterday's thrusters (wall ball in disguise).
Tomorrow is another day!
22 minutes, 205# DL & assisted dips
18:17
Could have gone heavier on DL, but like I was sacrificing form by allowing my back to round.
DL: 205-185-135-135-135
Hoist gravitron assisted dips: #8-8-9-10-10
Did Tabata workout with girlfriend instead.
Tabata squat, her 14 me 17
Tabata sit-up, her 8 me 14
Tabata push-up, her 8 me 8
time=23:04
bw=174
deadlift=275
I was going to do 245 on deadlift but my workout partner wanted to do 275. So here we are i am super sore but i love it.
20:00
DL 275 all sets unbroken
150 bar dips
12:36 150BWT; 225 trap bar DL's no breaks on first 3 sets. Bar Dips 30 per round, first with no breaks, one break per round for sets2-4 and 2 breaks on last one.
oh my lord!
That was AWESOME!
14:42
5 rounds:
DL 85# x 10
(that was PERFECT weight. I could BARELY do 10 at first and had to break up the last set 7/3)
Bench dips x 30
no dip contraption at the home gym. Freakin' KILLER!
OH yeah - dips broken into sets of ten unless I was feeling perky then I did 15 or 13 before breaking it up. ;P
did this a day late
dl 155
dips between chairs
14:54
this was painful, dips killed me.
DL: 225#
Time: 17:45
Did it this morning with my trap bar. I prefer the TBDL because it is more biomechanically suited to my tall (1.88m. i.e. 6"2)build. Anyway it was a tuff w/o. The deadlifts were done this way: set #1: 10 straight, sets 2-4: 2x5, set 5: 10 rest pause style. All with bodyweight (85kg.) on the bar. The dips were done incrementally on all sets. My time:36:24. Do I get an age discount (nearly 51)?
BW-245lb

My first post to Crossfit. I thought I was in pretty good shape. Ha!
set 1:
DL - 135# 10reps
Dips - 22, 8(30 second rest)
set 2:
135# 10reps
15, 7, 6, 2(30 second rests)
set 3:
135# 10reps
6, 6, 6, 6, 6(30 second rest)
set 4:
135# 10reps
6, 6, 6, 2, failure(30 second rest)
set 5:
135# 10reps
6, 4, failure(30 second rest)
22 minutes. Ran out of lunchtime.
I ended up doing this today - Monday.
22 minutes.
5 x 10 @ 135 for deadlifts
3 x 30, 2 x15 - dips. I just couldn't do another dip.
12:23 as RXed. Used BW+5 = 135 for DLs. Dips started breaking on the third set.
Used #275 for 18:53
had to sub 50 pushups for the dips. Hip flexors are pretty sore need to stretch out more. Had broken sets on the deads after the first two rounds.
Deadlifts were hard, dips kicked my butt and humbled me.
deadlift: 275 x 10 for all 5 sets
dips: parallel bars 1x20,10; 1x10,7,5,4,4;
1x8,7,5,4,3,3 (hit the wall)
bench dips: 1x15,10,5; 1x15,8,7
Time: 18:21
BW - 185
DL - 225
Time: 15:15 (I was interrupted by people working in on my dips too)
Dips were my undoing...the first set went well, but it went downhill fast from there.
35:05
BW: 150#
DL: 205#
Ring Dips
I loaded up the bar with 225# to start with, but I felt tired and didn't want to risk poor form. Did the 205# in mini-sets of 5 w/ only a re-grip in between.
The ring dips kill me every time. I did these in mini-sets of 5 with ever increasing breaks in between. My shoulders and pecs will scream at me for days now.
5 rounds of:
Sumo deadlift, 10 reps with 135lbs
10 Dips (last set: 5/5)
Time= 8:07
I underestimated myself
BW 204
DL 225
30 bench dips (feet on floor)
time: ~25:00
First and Last round of deadlifts were unbroken. First 2 rounds of dips were unbroken.
BW=175
DL=225 unbroken sets
Bar dips broken into many tiny sets
Total time=23:44
