An email I got from Sully, pictured below: “Thanks for taking this photo of me today. It’s my second week back to CrossFit after four months off, I’m really excited to get a Deadlift PR of 325lbs.” Congrats, Sully!

    Starting next week, we will be adding two new “Level 0″ WOD classes at 7:30 PM on Monday (with me) and Wednesday (with Rickke). These classes will be geared towards people who have finished Elements during the past six months or so.

    Until these classes fill up, we will open them to regular members who may be looking for an alternative workout. The Level 0 WOD will typically be announced on the blog. While these WOD’s are less likely to involve highly technical movements, do not assume they will be easy.

    Monday’s WOD will be Open WOD 11.2:

    15 Minute AMRAP
    9 hand-release pushups
    12 relatively light dead lifts (weight scaled as needed)
    15 box jumps (height scaled as needed)

    There will be an emphasis on reviewing the movements and on learning to push through the WOD.

    Congratulations, Court and Morgan!

    Many congratulations to you Court.

    I think it’s only appropriate to name Games WOD 5 “Emmett”

    56 Reps (8 Pullups into round of 12)

    Also congrats to Sara C for burning up the WOD herself…unofficially it seems that she got all of the round of 15 done at the buzzer, which would mean rep-wise she completed heavy, chest-to-bar Fran in 7 mins flat. Nice work!

    Congrats Court!

    For anyone who finds today’s WOD confusing, here’s a wordier way of putting it:

    After a sufficient warm-up of the movement, perform the following sets, not for time:

    5-rep-max deadlift
    3-rep-max deadlift
    1-rep-max deadlift
    5-rep-max deadlift
    3-rep-max deadlift
    1-rep-max deadlift

    ———
    If you are unsure as to how much heavier your 3-rep-max would be than your 5-rep-max, or how much heavier your 1-rep-max would be than either one of those, a rough estimate is the following

    3RM ~ 109% of 5RM
    1 RM ~ 118% of 5RM

    Of course, women can generally do more reps at very close to their 1RM than men can, and these percentages should be taken as guidance not gospel, especially if you’re a real newbie at deadlifting, and therefore are improving your form/body awareness/bracing/breath-holding as well as getting stronger each time you lift.

    Here’s Mark Rippetoe’s strength standards, in case you’re wondering if you’re a “novice”: http://www.crossfit.com/cf-journal/WLSTANDARDS.pdf
