    (15 OHS – 15 FS – 20 BS – 10 SP – 10 PP – drop :( )

    Deadlifts killed my chances of running off into the sunset with Scott’s mom. Instead she kicked me in the nuts and took off before I could catch her. Sigh…

  • Sam G

    5/3/1 t deadlift today, third week, so its heavy stuff (for me that is)

    5 @ 75% 275
    3 @ 85% 310
    4 @ 95% 345 hook griped the underhand (mixed grip) hand seemed to work well, but I think i could have gotten 1 or two more, but i just couldn’t hold on to the bar, still working on grip strength.

    Assisted exercises

    25x 3 (did one more when i got home) ab roller thingy, Jeff showed me the real way to do it, but I am not up to that level.

    Plan to do another workout later, so I didn’t want to waste to much time on assisted stuff.

      Matt you are a beast, not to mention the reference point for many people to choose their weight for WODs. I’ve often had the discussion that goes “Well Matt did 115, so obviously that would be really going for it.” – Well done sir, and thanks for the inspiration…

      • andy g

        I second that Reis!

  • andy g

    Was in last night for my 5/3/1 accessory lifts. 5×10 back squats-155# and presses-80#. Been adding weight each week steadily although last night was feeling heavy. Will need to back off on the amounts I keep adding. Missed today as I did the squats/ presses last night and doing dead lifts tomorrow night. Thought it would be too much.

  • Matt M

    Thanks Reis. This was a fun WOD. Couldn’t have done the volume with out a lot of encouragement from the 6:15 class.

    • Richard

      6:15 rocks!

  • http://www.ericclintonanderson.com Eric A

    A: 205# DL
    B: 65#; 111 squats, 55 presses, 166 total.

    Hats off to Cindy Lai who was super motivated and killed it.

  • Jamie

    This was an absolute disaster…

    5/5/Max for Back Squat @ 215 LBS – 13 Reps
    5/5/Max for Press @ 100 LBS – 7 Reps

    21-15-9 Unbroken Tempo Deadlifts w/Rest between sets @ 185 LBS

    Scott’s Mom: 20 (15 OHS + 5 FS + 0 BS) + 7 (5 SP + 2PP + 0 PJ)

  • Craig p

    BB rx’ed
    185 deads.
    95 lbs got heavy fast. Did 30 overheads which was stupid because not much was left for the front squats. Then while cleaning the bar to do more front squats, the bar got wet and spun out of my hands. Then 25 spilt jerks.
    New respect for scooters mom.

  • Sanjay

    A. 135#
    B. 74 reps @ 75#. Boo.

    Boy, a lot of people did Scott’s Mom today. Give that woman a prize.

    24inch box jumps
    Burpees

    With 20lb vest

    Time: 7:47

  • Sofia

    A-21@88lbs 15-9 @ 98 lbs
    B-90 pathetic OHS

  • Jay

    DL: 155#
    WOD: 85#, 20, 21, 25, 4, 6, 4

  • Steve Slo

    A) 21@155 – 15@175 – 9@185
    B) 12-16-54-10-7-4

    103 in total.
    I’m happy with these numbers.

    • Steve Slo

      (B was done at #95)

  • Eric

    A. 21-185#, 15-205#, 9-205 #. Should have gone heavier for the 9

    B. Used 95#, not good-8, 15, 17, then dropped the bar. Didn’t bother to pick it up
    Press part was 8, 9, 2
    then worked on handstand pushups

  • Phil

    A. 225#, 245#, 265# – should have gone heavier for all 3
    B. 95#
    OHS, FS, BS – 11, 16, 35 = 62
    P, PP, PJ – 6, 4, 4 = 14
    this was hard on the hands, traps, other auxiliaries

  • Josh R

    A. 155# for all three sets. That seemed just right.

    B. 65# – 5 OHS, 5 FS, 35 BS = 45, 10 P, 10 PP, 0 PJ = 20, Total = 65.

    Next time high-rep push-ups show up, I might do them with a band. I hang a skinny band off a ring so it’s about 5″ off the floor when slack. When I get in the band and lay my chest on my floor, there’s just A LITTLE bit of help from the band, and only at the bottom of the movement. Just enough to maintain a good plank. Obviously band height and thickness can be adjusted.

    It more closely mimics real push-ups because they are real push-ups; you just weigh slightly less. So I think this beats doing them off a box.

  • Jim S

    Tough one.
    21 @ 145lbs, 15,9 @ 155lbs

    80 @ 75lbs
