A shit ton of weight to be sure but behind the back jerks are ok? Or is it some kinda injury sub?
Quick question. I know a lot of guys use straps on max snatch, so should we use them on the deadlift?
I would say yes. I think it helps with hitting right position at top, esp if you tend to finish forward. Builds confidence.
Cool deal. Thanks for the reply!
Sorry, previous reply was for B Diggle. As for straps, I’m not a fan, unless you’re training for a specific competition that allows them.
I realized that after I posted. Haha. But thanks for the insight
+1, If you can’t use it at a meet then I would say it’s probably not a good idea to establish a 1rm with them. especially if your pulling 25-50# more with them than without them. If and or when we start banded deads again just think about how hard that shit is going to feel with tension added
Using straps on a deadlift is like wearing a rubber.
Yeah you did it, but everyone knows it didn’t really count.
Gonna b outta country for a bit so did Friday and Saturdays work all this afternoon
CLN – 275# tied my PR, failed 280#
Jerk – 265# PR, my last rack Jerk was 250# last C&J was 260#
DL – 425# last PR was 415# also BW is 170# so finally pulled 2.5xBW
“Elizabeth” 5:16 that’s a 1 sec. PR but ill take it after all that work
what counts as “heavy”?
Clean – 140kg, 5kg off from my best but I got under 150kg
Deadlift – 220kg, 10kg PR. Got 230kg to the knee but wasn’t happening today.
Not a bad day, but you gotta make the best with how you feel.

Let me the 1st to say 7th in the toughest region in the world = Badass enough said.
I feel a lot better knowing one of the fittest guys in the world is 1) an outlaw and 2) has “bad days” as well. Gerald, I’ll bet you’ll PR on both lifts next week.
Perhaps some time off, buddy 😉

Jeezus, Stowe. Guess regionals didn’t hurt you much.
Haha. Regionals left me hungry for next year. It didn’t beat me up too bad… Only thanks to you and your team though. This program and its staff are truly top notch. I get to spend a ton of time doing what I love (weightlifting) and yet still set PR’s on things I don’t love (one mile run for time). Win, win! I’m excited to see what next year brings with over a year of TOW under my belt.
Thanks again for the time and thought that goes into this.

For a few months now, my jerk caught up to my clean, so any new clean and jerk 1RM attempt was a 1RM clean attempt. I set a clean PR last weekend when I attempted 255 and added 5 more pounds to it today.
2) 15-20 minutes to establish a 1RM Deadlift.
315, 345, 375, 390 for PR and got it, 400 New PR, 405 would be all-time PR(f)

Did my first competition today came in second overall.
Clean: 270 (5lb PR) got under 280..
Dead: 480 (5lb PR) pulled 500 to the knees but bailed, wasn’t worth the shitty form struggle.
Here’s a vid of my 475 from our last max out and the 480 from today. I’d say some progress was made. Thanks coach.
Finally back from deployment and officially in the off-season, so, don’t feel so bad saying that I didn’t train yesterday because I was horribly hungover and asleep on my couch all day.
Today was the grand opening of Screaming Eagle CrossFit in Clarksville, TN- sister box (literally 200m from) of CrossFit SolaFide.
Grand Opening WOD Competition WODs:
1. 3 RFT
12 Power Clean (135/95)
12 Shoulder to Overhead (135/95)
12 Over the Bar Burpees
12 Pull-ups
I Won so I had a second WOD:
2. 3 RFT
50 Double Unders
35 Knees to Elbow
20m Overhead Barbell Carry (155/115)
Definitely destroyed for my actual training, but I won, and the $100 Reebok gift certificate and BASL signed by K-Star were worth it.
1. 1RM Jerk – 155 (-10)
2. 1RM Deadlift – 305 (-20)

Deadlift: 170kg. If any out of this program I want this to increase
Here we go!
Clean: 185# no PR.

2) 455. 5# improvement. Still off my all time best if 485, though I only hit that once and it was the ugliest lift in history. Big breaking firm for a slightly heavier deadlift anymore. Keeping if safe.
Did on the same day as testing #5. about 10 hours after.

Deadlift: 315 today. Ran out of time. PR is 350.
Clean – 275 (PR from the floor)
Deadlift – hit 405, then walked away because nothing felt right. after all the PR’s this week, I figure missing out on the deadlift and HBBS PR’s is the least of my worries during a lower back recovery. its 65# off my PR.
1) clean: 145# (first time.. Was hoping for more.. Felt off today)
2) DL: 225# – 10# below my PR… Form started to go so I decided to call it.
awful day. after hitting 3x100kg only a few weeks struggled today, big week, shouldnt have done extra work in normal classes… anyway it is what it is.
clean – 100kg
dead – 160kg
Clean- 205# (Prior PR)
DL- 400# (PR)
Felt good today!
Clean – only had 235 on this day, C&J PR was 245
Deadlift – only had 365, PR was 405.
Serves me right being so inconsistent with training over the last few months
