CAPTION CONTEST! Why is Richard (a.k.a. Dickie in blog comments) eating baby food as his post-workout meal? And what does Jenny A. (at his right) have to say about all of this?

Cashew

BS – 155 PR
P – 65 PR
DL – 145 (PR = personal regression, was able to do 165 months ago)
Would someone be able to suggest how I can improve these deadlifts, i.e. strength bias?)

Total – 365
- Cashew
  
  And maybe if someone could explain why my DL number is lower than my BS?
  
  Great work Kate and Jenny!
  - Sam G
    
    You are probably just not deadlifting enough, you would probably benefit from a little strength training blah blah blah.
    
    Squat higher then dead, I’ve seen it before, but many things factor into deadlifts, rest, recover, form ext you would be suprised how much you pull on a good day.
  - Mike K
    
    Its not that much lower, and its really easy to have an off day for deadlifts… especially early in the AM, and even more so if you did the past few days WODs. Also, maybe you just have your squat technique more dialed in than your deadlift technique.
    
    Last time I did any sort of a total, I PRd my squat and bench, but was 25lbs off on my deadlift, a weight I had done for 3 before without much trouble, and it felt terrible for just a single. Stuff like that happens
- Dickie
  
  Look at all those PRs!
- Kawasaki-san
  
  nice cass!
- Kameron
  
  Two PRs Cass, nothing to shake a stick at. You just had an off day with the DL. You’re still an animal!

CF TOTAL 615…I would’ve gotten 225 on the squat but i had a mental block and feared the weight..thx coach sara for the encouragement

i also learned a kipping pullup for the first time today.
- Dickie
  
  Nice work, David! Congrats on the kip!

Also, if anyone is into Off-Off Broadway, there’s a play in my show this weekend about a performer’s visit to Europe where he asks audience members to join him on stage to do push ups until failure. No one has ever made it 2 minutes. (Also, no one hits the stage with their chest, but maybe my standards are too high. For non-Crossfitters.) I think it would be Epic to see some people get up there and kill it. Just sayin’.

  Awesome!!

It’s killing me having to sit out the Total. I think I sprained my butt yesterday. Lots of rolling, icing & lacrosse ball work hasn’t really brought it around, and I figured lifting thousands of pounds with my posterior chain would not be the best medicine. Resting today, and hoping to be ready for some Filth. Nice job on the PRs everyone…you are all animals!

You kinda just know we’re going to be doing a lot of snatching next week…

I suck at snatching. Not looking forward to that at all.

Really happy with my deadlift (pretty much 2.5x bodyweight), I need to start working on getting my squat and press up to par.

If your name is David P and you just forwarded me your Yelp review, please send me an email, I do not have your email address and have no way of writing you back.

srblahdATgmailDOTcom

This goes for anyone sending me a Yelp review for a tee shirt, please send me an email so that I can write you back and confirm that you can get a tee shirt.

Thanks!
- Steve Slo
  
  Do we actually have (large) t-shirts?
- http://about.me/williamlanier Big Willy
  
  we are out of tshirts unless you’re a medium lady or an XL man.
- Hari
  
  We have 200 of a new design on order. Once these come in, we do not expect to run out again.
- Hari
  
  from now on, we will probably do a single run of about 200 and then retire the design. Also, we will now carry women’s tank tops.
  
  Now, all we need to do is figure out why the 120 toweles we ordered nearly 2 weeks ago have not arrived.
david

hey sophie..my email is david.pugh443@gmail.com

hey dickie thx for the compliment by the way..i’ve heard about eating baby food after a workout but what does it do??
- Dickie
  
  I’ve not heard of eating baby food — I’ve heard of eating yams, and that seemed to be the easiest way to get them to a workout without me having to cook.
david

good job rory!
Jeff

In continuation about kipping from yesterday’s comments:

If you can only do 5 kipping pull ups at a time and can’t continue due to uncontrolled flailing, it most likely has to do with the stretch at the bottom as Brett mentioned. What’s going to facilitate getting that stretch is making sure you push away at the top of the pull up to re-generate horizontal momentum.

Also, persistent aggressiveness of the hip snap (the actual kip itself) is an integral component of doing prolonged sets as it vital for controlling balance as the reps increase.
James

Thanks for the drop in NY! Fun working with the Davids…3 PR’s for me!

it was a pleasure working with you dallas and the david..u guys guys really got me through this morning
david

well Dickie i think i’ll try the sweet potato baby food to see what that can do after a workout..it should be a clean enough meal
- Mike K
  
  you could also just microwave a sweet potato for 5 min the night before and bring that to eat. Much cheaper too.
  - Dickie
    
    That’s what Jenny does.
