This should be great, first dls since cert.
Shooting for 425#.
Hell yeah!
I'm excited!
Time to see how far off 500 I am.
Goal for Southeast CF Challenge:
500 DL & sub-20 5k run!
3,2,1,Go!
Leonid that is a pretty insane challenge. Setting a one year frame for that one, starts today.
Good luck Leo! I'm only shooting for 350#...
I was too busy gawking at Speal and his 2:05 Fran.
Anyway... (too ridiculous to process) Awesome job dude!!
I can "get down" with some DL's baby!!!
Here goes the lower back!!!
Hey everybody, I'm new to crossfit and just wanted to check that I'm reading this right; this is seven sets of singles, right?
"Fran"

Last time: 6:22
Time Before 7:22?
1st time: 9:22
22s are just a guess. Something like that.
Shout out to SurferJenn and RobertNYC. So great to meet you guys. Thanks for the tape Jenn!
THEN a kettlebell class at Throwdown. It was pretty hard and my hands were giving up on me. But fun.
This ZONE has got a hold on me. I'm starting to like it and I'm actually teaching myself how to cook. I hope it gets my weight down. That way 15 bodyweight OHS will be easier ;)
Mike - but I also outweigh you by quite a bit.
I'm hoping to be about 210-215 on the competition day!
Lambo #10 - correct 1RM 7 times
My nemesis awaits.
Thanks for the chat Speal. Look forward to meeting one day and working out.
Rookie
Should be fun doing the DL's with the holes in my hands from the 120 pullups..
I'm assuming this isn't for time, correct?
#16 - Load. Take as much time as necessary without cooling down too much.
Allison - congrats! Sub 4 is coming soon!
Lovin' the respect Canadians are getting in the Crossfit Games Discussion.
Go OPT!
ooo, maybe I can hit another PR... did 185 the other day... really, really, really want to hit 200 (I just like round numbers!)
Karin
Can anyone explain OPT and AFT? I realize from the video that these refer to actual Crossfit people, but who are they and what do the acronyms stand for?
Looking forward to this one. Shoulders are still sore from the Bar Muscle ups and I need to focus on my lower back and core. Seems like whenever i get humbled by a workout and have a realizaion that i need to work on form in a particular area, someone reads my mind and provides the lessons ;)
Crossfit in South Portland, Maine
Next thing we'll see are odds in Vegas on the CF games!

Hi Bret!
OPT = Optimum Performance Training Inc., owned and operated by James FitzGerald, one of the CrossFit mutants...
Don't have specific details on AFT though, I do know he's another canadian CrossFit monster
I'm new to crossfit.
Should I wear a belt?
Are straps ok?
Thanks for your help
Hello All,
Just out of the CrossFit womb. Been doing CrossFit for about a month and I'm lovin' every second of each workout. You guys are great & very helpful. One question. I can do the exercises as rx'd, but it usually takes me a bit longer than the times posted. Would it be better for me to drop the weight so I can decrease my recovery time between rounds? Or should I continue to do WOD as rx'd as quickly as I can?

Thanks,
BigWillie
Scott m/48
Got an early start. Have Boys Conference Track meet tomorrow so had to get deadlifts outta the way tonight.
225,235,245,250,255,260,265
Old pr 250 so very impressed with the work .
Sweet action, my favorite lift! Too bad I don't have lifting straps as I know that will hinder me :( . Maybe I can find something to use around, any ideas.
I just don't get why more CF celebs don't want to compete in the games, we have maybe 15-20 people from OPT's facility alone coming just for the fun of it. Step up, you are the CF standard!
Alright I am going to start this:
Who is your number 1 choice to win the CF games?
Pick 1 guy and 1 girl

Hey guys,
i just started crossfit 2 days ago, my boyfriend got me into it and its awesome!!! i see the WOD is deadlift. I have a 20 lbs kettlebell and currently do not have access to a gym. Any suggestions on how i can modify this exercise with the kettlebell?
Question about DLs.
I am a lanky guy and when I do DLs the only way I feel I can keep my lower back in its natural arch is to rake the bar across my shins and knees which leave me bruised and bleeding after about 2 sets. I then compromise my form to keep the bar from rubbing my shins and knees because it's painful. Does anyone else experience this? Any suggestions on how to prevent this? The shins and knees are still bruised and scabbed from Diane. Thanks.
Hi Tim P. comment 23
Nope and .... nope
Crossfit's methodology says that you should be able to lift and hold onto the weight without extra equipment, especially straps. There is a place for weight belts according to Coach Rip in his book "Starting Strength", which is an awesome book that you should read if you haven't already, which says that weight belts are fine with heavy loads. Most crossfitters do not generally train with a weight belt.
Have Fun, Train Hard,
Billy
#29
I love you...(my girlfriend)
Sorry for getting mushy guys...
i had some ideas for her, but i was not sure about the # of reps for her to do.
Any suggs would be great!!
ROCK ON!!
RE: #31
Thank you billy; what about grip?
both hands over or alternate grip
#29 sati- One way to modify is to find odd objects to deadlift. If you go to any store that sells 5 gallon water jugs that has handles, the kind you find on top of water coolers, you can fill it them with water and keep adding. About $20 for 2 if not on sale. Placing them on a scale next to you before your lifts will let you know how much you're going up in weight. They have plugs and won't really leak. I haven't had any problems with mine. Just about anything can be dead lifted. Hope it helps. Have fun.
D.L.'s!!! Looking to get over 225#, and then some. Should be interesting. Yo Rookie Brian Mac.!! Hi to all you guys from the Huntington Beach Cert.
Hi Jason,
#30
I am also a lanky guy, and deadlifts scrape up my shins as well. I usually wear high tube socks (like a soccer player) and just look like a weirdo. But it does help.
Nick in Laos
#23 I think a belt is OK but I believe no straps are allowed.
For people wondering about grip, it is up to you. I recommend one hand over and under when doing heavy loads. It will prohibit the bar from rolling out of your hands.
By the way, I got the smack down from Lauren by getting my meaningless first post removed. Lesson learned Lauren! LOL
#30 Jason
Yeah I have the same problem. No I'm not tall and lanky, but from watching the videos, I've concluded that keeping the bar in contact with your shins/thighs is simply part of the lift, and in doing so, I beat the crap out of my tibia. So I get scabs and bruised shins. If you watched "Glory Box" you'll notice that there's a close-up of one girl's bloody knee... I can only assume that it is the result of deadlifts or full cleans. Anyways, my philosophy on it is that eventually my skin and bones will get used to the scraping and toughen up.
If you're wondering about the videos I watched, check out the Rippetoe series on deadlifts. It is VERY enlightening. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you want to maximize your weight on deadlift, you're going to beat up your shins and knees.
I have the same problem with the bar scraping my shins and knees. I either wear sweat pants, it helps a lot, or put baby powder on my knew and legs where the bar touches and powder on the area of the bar that scrapes. i wear chalk on my hands when dead lifting really heavy, it just seems to help. i can't get comfortable with a belt, but i would think it would help the average person considering the amount of weight you will be pulling with a dead lift. good luck!
couldn't rest yesterday. rested the day before stomach flu or something.

looking forward to dls today.
thanks to all for your support.
I just started crossfit about three weeks ago and am loving the system.I met Fran today and have to say we will not be friends.
Got to get 550lbs on this one. 520 is my pr so far but i want more. I'm trying for a CFT of 1300+ next time it rolls around.
Jason - I'm 6'6" and have long limbs. When i do deads i don't touch my shins, however i don't beleive that i have good form. I think you should touch your shins, i just don't because i do not want to end up bleeding because of my workout.
#37-heady
If you get a true olympic lifting bar the middle section between the knurling should be wide enough to keep from beating up your shins. you might catch a scrap now and then but it's a self-correcting error. You shouldn't be setting your feet wide enough to get scraped. Think angle of hips to femur. Hope that helps a bit.
#29-sati
Almost forgot. Use a wooden dowel or pvc pipe and practice your form. If you're just starting out in Crossfit, then there's no hurry to set PR's just yet. If you stay in the starting position with a wooden dowel long enough you'll feel the position, be able to make adjustments, and get a workout. I have my clients do it and they dread it. We were help in the starting position at the Huntington Beach cert for what seemed like forever. It helps and gets the point across. Hope that helps.
Hey Allison if you wanna surf on friday e-mail me micalizz@rohan.sdsu.edu I think we are going around 11.
HAHA! Boz - "The wrong advices." Excellent reference to Pumping Iron!
Tim, comment 33, what about grip?
Many people use the double overhand hook grip like it is shown in this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=UYzNkYDdJT8
On the dead lift, as the weight gets heavier, I move from the double overhand hook grip to the alternating grip with my thumb over my fingers instead of under. If you decide to use the alternating grip, you probably want to face your non-dominant hand away (supinate) and keep your dominant hand in an overhand grip. Be careful using the alternating grip, it can cause problems in your shoulders if they are not flexible. If you use just the overhand grip, your grip strength will increase fast.
Have Fun, Train Hard,
Billy
Awesome video...it would be great if the three of them competed...
Thanks!

#30
I'm new to crossfit but have been dead liftin off and on for a few years. I'm a pretty lanky guy with some long ole knuckle draggers, and my shins are almost one long continuous scar. I am constantly getting asked why they're all scarred up (people usually think its from bike pedals?) I thought it was cause I'm a man-scaper and that just made the scars a little more visable. Anyways, good deadlift form is keeping the bar close to your body so a few nicks and cuts is just a small price to pay. Tube socks and pants are both good solutions, I've even seen dudes wear soccer shin guards - but I would definetly not recommend going that route. Long story short, chicks dig scars!
Freddy, you're going to stock Canadian beer in the RV - right?? Hahah!
Great video - can't wait til the games!

just started crossfit today. needed to start with cardio. did the 4 800's.
2:51, 2:55, 2:59, 3:24
hoping to see gains in speed/mass
Way to go out on a limb with those predictions, guys... ggmmmfft! Wouldn't want to step on any toes. Well, to tell you the truth, I'm going to be bummed if Bozman doesn't compete. I would just love to see him in the clutch, especially going up vs Pat, his arch friend/rival. I'm not too disappointed about Eva, because I'm pretty sure she would just kick everybody's ass. I'm trying to get as many people from my affiliate as possible to come, even the Noobs. Just want it to happen and want them ALL to get stoked and amped. I can't wait myself. I really did enjoy the video, but it would have been more fun if you guys would have made predictions/bets/picked favorites. (And now for the hyper-unrealistic trash talking... ) How about the most important prize of all The Games? How about the Affiliate cup? Oh yeah... that will belong to CROSSFIT MARIN. Didn't really need to mention THAT, did we?
Love you all,
-Drais
Oh, yeah.. so another prediction.. The Teenagers? How are they going to do? Connor & David from Brand X will actually be able to beat most of the MEN, but I'll still edge them off by a couple of points. Is that a challenge? You bet! (I better get off my lazy ass so I don't get spanked and have to eat my words.) We will also introduce Gabriel Taube from CrossFit Marin to his first games, and even though he is just a noob, he will give an impressive showing. Also Kalista and Keegan will win the 15 & under category, and Mark will win the BAD-ASS OLD GOAT category. Wow, now I'm going out on a limb... lol.
since starting crossfit about 8 months ago my deadlift has gone from 135 to 325, and i only weigh 160. and the improvements just keep coming. i am constantly in awe of the simplicity and efficacy of this program.
now if i could only save enough money for a cert and find one that's not sold out!
it must be awesome to meet and work out with fellow crossfitters. i envy those that get to visit gyms like one world. i am stuck going solo down here in naples, fl.
good luck today everyone!

I've been stuck at 365 for the deadlift for a few months. Would really like to break that today...
WOD: attempted beltless standard straight bar deadlifts in heeled shoes....I don't have a clue how O-lifters can lift so much in them. I felt off balance during the lift and regardless of which hand used the palms away grip (I used a mixed grip each rep) there was a pronounced twist that direction. If I want to use shoes for deadlifting, it's going to take some time to get used to the new groove.

First WOD just trying to get the form right after watching the deadlift clips. First time lifting in a long while I've been concentrating on Krav Maga and doing cardio. Real excited about Crossfit
295/305/315/325/330(pr)/335(f)/325
After this cycle I will have CF'ed for 99 days. I think after every 100 days (so this cycle is close enough) I'm going to take a cycle off for a full 5 days rest of no WOD's or training of any kind. I was thinking about doing my favorite 3 WOD's for this last cycle, but then I realized I like them all and will just keep doing what is posted.
DL this am.

Stayed at #205 today. Back still very tender from poor deadlift form on "Diane." Worked on form today to avoid future problems, but still hurts even while tearing hide of of shins....disappointing....

#30 Jason -
I went out with an extremely accomplished powerlifter in high school and one of the first things he taught me about DLs is that the bar should remain in contact with your legs throughout the lift. Yes, it does usually mean bloody shins and badly bruised knees, but that's just how it is. I actually just picked up a pair of soccer socks a few days ago, so I'm very excited for this one!

first of all, if you are bleeding because you are using correct form, so be it. It's better than the alternative. A little scrape never hurt anyone.
However, when i see it's deadlift time, I wear sweat pants (assuming I remember at 5:00 a.m. when I am getting ready)

My failures on the 395 were caused by my grip. I would get the weight about an inch off the floor and it would just slide outta my hands. Gotta work on that! The rest of me felt like it was ready for more weight.
This was humbling. I come from a powerlifting background and 14 years ago I used to just throw this much weight around for multiple reps. I actually used to bench more then this! Of course knee wraps, wrist straps, chalk and a belt probably helped a bit back then! :)

I hear ya. Having a Powerlifting background is certainly an advantage when doing Crossfit singles. Doing heavy deadlifts today was like shaking hands with an old friend. Still, a humbling experience considering what I'd toss around as a younger man. I always look for your post(s) considering we've got similar stats. Grab some chalk for your next go 'round. As I'm sure you're aware, it really helps keeping your hands on the bar. Run to win, my friend!

So it has been a while since I have posted. I did Crossfit, but I was not the diligent disciple I could have been.
With that confession made.
I have no idea what the progression was but I PR'd at 300, 25lbs above previous. Between sets, knees to elbows - sets of 5.

I got over 300lbs on my dead lift today and I felt quite strong. On the last three dead lift days I have been stuck at 295lbs, today I joined the 300 club. I know its not much but its better than I have ever done before and I'm 15 pounds lighter than I have been in 10 years. I was also able to string together 2 bar muscle ups in a row without coming off of the bar :>) another first :>) thanks coach and thanks Dr. Sears.
My lady Lysa also got a PR on her dead lift at 5 pounds over her body weight, very nice Lysa!

Pre: 3.5 mile track workout, with sprints. Felt my hamstrings -- they must have been thinking about the deadlifts!
Warm up: CFWU x 2, plus worked on L pull ups, 3 x 135 lb. DLs
WOD: 155, 175, 180, 185, 190, 195 (F). I always worry about my back on deadlifts and I think it psyches me out a little. I got the 195 about 5 inches off the floor and then just got stuck. I will get to 200 lbs. one of these days! When you have 190 lbs. on the bar, adding 2 little 2.5 plates seems like it should hardly be noticeable, but then you can't lift it!
Post: 135 DL x 5; worked on inverted pull ups and hangs as seen in this months CFJoural - tons of fun!

Also Did CF Endurance workout immediately after. Running on a treadmill set to 9 or 10 mph for intervals as follows...
"All Sports: Goal is to use maximum effort for 1 min interval. No Fouls if all out efforts."
"1min on, 1 min off, 1 min on, 50 sec off, 1 min on, 40 sec off, 1 min on, 30 sec off, 1 min on 20 sec off, 1 min on, 10 sec off, then go back up the ladder until you finish with 1 min on, 50 sec off, 1 min on."

"i do sports injuries" she said, wutever tha heck that means.

Whew! I was stuck on a 305 PR for three straight deadlift workouts. Finally broke through!
Continued my love affair with the shoulder press and things didn't go as planned. Today was supposed to be the press, push press, push jerk triplet but I stalled out at 150 on the press so I backed it off to 115 to try and wave load but stalled at 150 again! After that I just played with push press (170x3) and push jerk (150x1) as it's been a while.
It feels like there is something physically limiting my ability to press heavy weights overhead, like a neural impingment in my neck or something. It's very frustrating, progress here is at a standstill.
Post-21 straight 95lb thrusters to prep for Fran.

Not as strong as I would like, need to go on another SS rotation...
250-250-260-265-270(PR)-250-250
so I got scolded today by a "trainer" at a local globo gym, for dropping the weights during my deadlifts. Apparently rubber coated weights hitting a rubber matted floor is a bad thing to be doing. So be warned... rubber hitting rubber causes damage, and disturbs everyone else's serenity as they "pump iron".

Got some pointers from a pro strongman friend who happened to be doing deads at the gym also. I was using too wide a stance, and too wide a grip.
Added an easy 30# and I think I could have easily added more today, but decided to quit while I was ahead. My goal is 500 in the next three months.

I just wasn't feeling it today. I got very dizzy and felt rather un-energetic. Dissapointed none the less. Also, I've been stuck at 365 for about 4 months now and was looking forward to today.
On a more positive note, I've been working out with another guy. He's never done heavey deads. He was able to bust out 240!!! Great form too. The guy is really talented. He's much further ahead than I was when I started... YEAH BRENT!

I probably should have bailed on the 240. I know my back was horrible. That's my PR and from what I remember it felt easier last time. What's up with that. I think this may be the first time I didn't hit a PR foe the heavy lifts. ZONE?

Is this a fatigued woman or what?
Making up two WODs yesterday might have hurt me today. My PR on 3 reps is 225 and I couldn't reach one rep of it today. There's always tomorrow!
I've noticed that I can deadlift more inside the octagonal cage with the neutral grip. Has anyone else noticed this difference? Is it better to use the oly bar and lift less?

Well, today was my first xfit. I'm a little dissappointed in how well I did. Im 21 Male 6'3" I weigh 240 lbs. I will make a formal intro in the forums. I maxed it out at 395, prolly could have got to 400 or 405 if I had more weights.

I could feel my grip going on my left (weak) side. I couldn't get 275 more than 3 inches off the floor, which is disappointing since it's my PR. My hammies were sore, which is going to hurt the deads.
CFWU x3. Took it easy because my back's still recovering, so a PR is out of the question for now.

HELP!!!
Have been limited for the past couple of months by hamstring strain. PR'ed 405 about 6 weeks ago. Today topped out at 365 for several sets. When I get a heavy weight I'm scared to tear my hamstring.
The weird thing is when I stretch my good hamstring always has a popping sound, the other used to now it doesn't. ANy advice from some experts on how to strenghten or remedy the injury would be great.
Thanks.

I kept getting closer, but grip failed, or back started to round.
#434, dtrain54:
A popping sound can often be from a tendon (eg. hamstrings) twanging over a normal bony prominence around the knee... It could eventually cause wear and tear down the road, so it is best to avoid continual movements that cause it. On the other hand, if there is no pain, and it only happens when you stretch, maybe slowing down the motion of getting into the stretch. Err on the side of caution and listen to your body... You may want to go see a physical therapist ( i am in school as we speak) to have a look just in case.
Hope this helps.

Any tips on improving DL lifts appreciated. I already read/watch all the CF tutorials on this site, but haven't seen any improvement since last CFT. I always figured my DL's were weak cause my legs are built to run sub-20 min 5K's. But comment #2 Leo from Southeast CF causes me to question my thinking.

on my first 355 my back started to round so I aborted
on my 360, my back began to round and I forgot to breath, but my back was just straight enough for me to not get hurt (I hope) and to lock it out at the top ok.
10 rounds in 20 minutes. i did 3k's post workout WOD. God bless.
forgot to mention that I think that my pr was due to me squeazing my buttucks and abs just before the pull

I merely levitated the bar @ 315. Very frustrating I have a huge hole in my hand from the 120 pullups. I would like to blame not being able to explode on the bar on my hand but the weight probably had more to do with it.

Two weeks off of crossfit and I did this on Sunday, May 18th after making up the overhead squat day. I blew my PR of 385 away by 35 pounds.

Way off my PR (460). Everything felt heavy. Maybe I didn't warm up enough (I suspect). Or something from the evening before made the legs and hammies weak. Dunno. Strange.

i love crossfit, it has given me about a extra 50 lbs on my deadlift in about a week and a half
I ran 1.5 miles in 9:57 PR for me and then jogged a couple miles ( back to my car, I ran the bike trail)
Then when I got home, I only did 185 for ten reps,
five sets
m/ 31/ 6-2/ 245
Worked up to 425 for a single.
