Bonjour, auriez-vous des conseils sur quelle manique acheter pour faire du soulevé de terre ? Au passage, très bonne vidéo ! Celle-ci est très bien expliqué
I am new and 47. I just recently maxed a PR of 335. Feeling optimistic for sure!
Been a long time since I last checked the comments. So glad I did. Where else would I find a spirited conversation on the deadlift? This made my day.

I try this movement but if you don't do it properly, it can ruin your back.
Completed at the Y 12/3. Intermediate scale so 250, 155, 100 lbs.

bench would have been really tough as rxd. Only one broken set and it was on round 8 or 9 of dead’s due to grip.

Definitely a cardio effort except for the bench press, where I caught my breath due to needing rest. Failed rep 4 of the 4’s, and had to do the roll of shame and rerack.
Bench has gone downhill big time, otherwise I probably would’ve PR’d today.

Probably went a bit too heavy given my lack of fitness these days. Couple that with the kids and this took me over 2 hours.
Weight at 170# = DL 255#, Bench Press 170#, Clean 130#...felt good to push through some weight.
Dumbbells. 65#, 50#, 35# for 10! rep scheme (in globo gym). 14:30. Felt light but protected various injuries from worsening.

Was having way too much difficulty keeping pace today. Had to take a break so time doesn't mean much but was about 35min of moving time 😬. Dropped the bench press a few times in middle sets and had to reset it myself.

Yikes! Only 2 bars and not enough plates in my garage, so a ton of time loading and unloading bars. It was helpful in the first few sets to give a little rest, but after that I spent way more time loading/unloading than working. All reps unbroken at least. Can't remember the last time I did Linda, but I'm sure it hurt as much then as it does now.

I’m surprised to see this after yesterdays WOD. I was expecting a lighter dose today, something with monostructural choices.
Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Any time girls workouts get discussed, especially which are the worst, I always forget about this one. Elizabeth, to me, is the peak miserable and a definite 10. Linda... man... it's just a different kind of torture. A complete body shutdown is the dose. Mad respect to people who can do this as rx'd and maintain 1) form and 2) intensity.

Scale weight so everything can be unbroken and the workout stays under 20
IT'S MY FIRST WEEK WHAT AM I GETTING MYSELF INTO SCALE
Listen, they're not all like this. Don't leave my guy! Try AMRAP in 15 minutes of: 15 deadlifts (light weight), 10 push-ups, 10 box jumps. Slow down and work on the positions for each movement
MY STUFF
4 hours of ab-clenching for the Michigan Game. I'll make this one up
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 10
Most Michigan games do, but any time we play Sparty it adds a little extra. And for the record, last year's game was literally the most acute stress I've ever felt in my life. No exaggeration.

Globo WOD: as this requires so much equipment I will provide subs for each movement. 1. Deadlifts: heavy dumbbell deadlifts (double reps if using lighter dumbbells), kb deadlifts or heavy tire flips, or strict pullups. Try to keep this movement as Rxed if possible. 2. Bench press: ring /TRX/ weighted bar dips, push press (if no bench is available), dumbbell bench press at 75% bodyweight total, or HSPU. 3. Cleans: dumbbell cleans at 50% bodyweight total, sandbag cleans. Try to set this up the best based on your Globo or garage setup. Each person's gym and equipment situation will be different so do the best you can here. If you are doing this in a class doing it as a team wod may be the appropriate solution.
Bodyweight sub: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps strict pullups, strict ring dips or HSPU, and pistols (alternating, double reps) or Bulgarian split squats each leg.

Anyone reading this lacking the benefit of proper coaching should be aware that you can tie your back into knots doing it wrong by being forward onto your toes. That happened to me until a coach said "stay on your heals". Fixed, instantly. Now I'm happily at 2x bodyweight, and it feels easy. All those deadlifts in the open were a breeze.
The only dangerous dead is the turtle-back deads. It's not only painful, but also painful to watch.
Gutsy move, Louis! I don't normally think of Rory McKernan as the type of person to go spouting off CrossFit knowledge without any backing! I hope that you enjoyed the article that Matthew shared.
