I was just thinking about some deadlifts, and just in time for the holidays, here they are.

Whoa! Where did you find that wall? That is so cool!

well deadlifts are almost as good as a rest day, actually maybe even better

Come on, guys! Surely we can incorporate some sort of shoulder activity too! :)

CF - Constantly Redefining Your Limits

No time for today's WOD (one of my favorites!); morning overtime and a party after isn't going to allow it. 100 burpees with pushup and jump plus overhead clap: 8:27. Burpees are definitely not my best exercise. Shoulders are whipped.

Did Cindy to catch-up, 30 mins later did today`s WOD
90K-100K-120K(PR)-130K(fail, seeing stars fail)-110K(11/22 fail point)-110K-110K-110K(fail)-100K

Only have 200lbs so I did 7 sets of 10 reps

Finally - a wod I can do well at! Early morning workout today after hitting CrossFitNC and cashed in... GREAT TIME UP THERE - Thank you! If you're in the Raleigh - Fayetteville area, you need to check them out.

did triples up to 353 instead, grip down from dog bite

...Thanks a lot KELLY... for planting the seed of doubt in my WOD mind...could I actually do 100 burpees.?... well yes,,, BUT not @ KELLY speed but probably more humanesque...in 10:52 ..all jumping,gasping. pushupins,wobbling,,,glad to be finished
Also I just did DB DLs today working my way up to the 80#ers

I hate tequilla.

"Come on, guys! Surely we can incorporate some sort of shoulder activity too! :)"

LOL @ Sandy S!

My shoulders are so completely fried I can barely move them!

Rest day for me. Will enjoy throwing sand and stone around tomorrow.

hard but good. scared some people in my gym.

MFBUNCH!!

Okay....you got me bad on "Cindy" and I got you on Friday's WOD...I thought with you being gone the lack of competition with you not being here would slow me down...I see I can't let that happen!! Hope your back is feeling okay cause I feel Greeaaat!!

Did a couple of cleans and FSes with 135# after, too.

155, 185, 205(old PR), 215, 225, 235, 245

I don't know where this improvement came from. I had a lot of trouble with 195 a couple of weeks ago and my legs felt like crap when I started. 245 didn't even feel very heavy.

305# is a PR for me by 20#. My form was pretty suspect on 305# and even shakier on the second rep w/290. Finished up with some pull ups and sit ups.

All with 255, which is (not coincidentally) all my weight. Hopefully, Santa got my letter.

Ran 5k for warm-up and then deadlifts:

On 245 my wedding band pinched my hand, felt like my ring finger was going to burst off at the top of the lift, have an interesting looking subdermal bruise starting now on the top of the entire finger, this ever happen to anyone else?
Never doing deadlifts w/ring on ever, ever again.

Since I don't have the equipment to do lifting, I did the Pilates Accelerated Body Workout. WOW! It is an awesome workout. I could definitely feel my hip flexors, which someone always used to tell me were really important to use regularly. I did listen and I still am...

Not pleased at all with my performance. I used deadlift like a madman in HS. heh.

I workout at the Y with my two bro's and it starting to convert to a cf gym....it's funny cause you can tell who is doing it...cause they are doing the same stuff!!!

todays workout was a great one. i finshed with 100 situps and 50 dips. i can't wait until tommarow's wod.

COld's got the better of me today, so form had to take over for strength. Almost died just doing the cfwux3.
225, 245, 265, 285, someone talked to me and took about 20 minutes attempted 305 and it felt like it was bolted to the ground. got 295 pr, 275, 275.

So even with a cold and dragging like crazy my pr increased. Yesterday I even bested my last Cindy with this cold (24). CF continues to astound me every day.

May of been able to have gone a bit heavier, but am still stoked to set a new PR. Especially after getting my Arsss kicked by the make up workout.

This is the first time I used chalk. Saw an old friend w/a bag. My grip was shot and hit him up for some hoping it would help. Made a world of difference. Can't wait to try it on pull-ups. Reccomend anyone who hasn't tried chalk to go and do so.

I can't believe I just lifted that. A month ago I wouldn't have been able to come even close. Before my last lift, I looked at the pile of iron on the floor in disbelief. I knew I could do it, I just couldn't *believe* it until I'd done it.

Heavy things are amazing. Lifting heavy things is even more amazing.

I always take my wedding ring off when lifting- heard too many horror stories about missing digits, crushed rings, etc.

Man do I love deadlifts. Every max-effort day lately has been a PR. I was hella' sore today from a great Parkour session yesterday, and combined with my belly full of Christmas party food I almost opted out of the workout all together. Glad I didn't!

The best part is, that's all the weight I have, so I'll have to remember to make it to the gym for the next ME deadlift day. Now THAT is a good feeling!

Finished up with 100 burpees in 7:53, what a killer!

Form was good on all except for last. Hand grip was hurting me more than lifting. I couldn't keep hold of the damn bar. Almost dropped 295 but managed to hold on with fingertips until back and legs were extended and straight...then let go!

Finished by running sprints up and down basketball court and then looked for somewhere to hang my NEW RINGS FROM!!!!!

Only have 225lbs so did that. But it was a good weight to get back into the swing of things. Also did 4x5 janda situps, and 1x3 one arm pushups.

Ran 5 miles then had no time to deadlift. I had to coach my daughter's basketball team. I was so proud of her, after a visit from Pukie in the morning and a twisted foot from friday, she insisted on playing anyway. She helped her team win, scoring the winning basket in overtime... she's 11.

Warm-up

225/245/265(pr)/275(f)/225x3

Pullups and Pushups to failure.

Deadlifts = 275-285-305-315-325-315-305 (compare with 275-285-295-305-310-315-315 on 051122) coming off a cold

60-65-70-73-75-77-80 kilos (176 pounds). Feel pretty good about that. Surprised at lifting more than my weight now! Gotta love Cross Fit!

Have not been doing deadlifts, so easing into it; 135, 145, 155, 165, 175, 185; began to feel like work, so wrapped up with 135. Knees a little creaky at first, so warm-up is a good idea. Lots of headroom here, but wary of injury potential.

performed on the 19th of Dec.

315, 335, 355, 375(PR!), 380 (PR!!!!), 385(couldn't even get this off the ground), 315

315 as rx'd 7 sets w/ big D. Ow my back!

Had some serious fatigue in the legs today and some tiredness in the lower back, so I took it easy. Topped out at 275# then scaled back to 225# as it became clear that the lower back wouldn't handle shooting for a PR (which I think is still 310#).

2 mile cooldown run.

Did some reps on the Smith with up to 60kg to see how it compares to using a bar... it sucks! Back to the dumbbells.

Form started to get sloppy with the 345, though I felt I had more in me. Fun workout!

Worked up to a PR: 265 then F: 275. Form was pretty good, used an alternating grip for the PR. The goal is to someday join the 2x-BW club (340lbs).

then worked on kipping and elbows to knees.

Deadlift, weight in lbs.

5x135/5x185/5x205/3x235/2x285(bad form on first; yikes!)/1x285(better)/1x285

didn't let myself increase weight after bad form--shot up hips and rounded back to get it up on that one.

BWt = 156

1RM feels down and weight in up--no longer 2xBWt.
