Scaling:
Pick loads that allow you to attempt a PR in the later sets. If you are not comfortable performing very heavy deadlifts, add a few reps to each set and drill your mechanics, but try to expose yourself to a load that is relatively heavy for you.
Beginner Option:
Deadlift 3-3-3-2-2-1-1-1 reps
Comments on WOD Demo: Heavy Deadlift Singles
Maxed out at 295#, which is acceptable considering that a couple years ago back pain (compressed L4) made simply sitting and walking problematic. The workout was kind of messy (warmup sets of (10)185, (5)195, (3)225 before 3 heavier sets of 295#).
