The Deadlift, Mark Rippetoe - video [wmv] [mov]



11:07 RX. Better than last time (Atkins Induction) which was 11:59, and it felt easier too: I could have gone faster, everything was unbroken. My best time on this is 10:13, and if I continue to improve at this rate, under 10:00 is in sight, which would be great (and would probably mean I could get a sub 5:00 Fran too). Pretty sure I could hit a sub 6:00 Fran now).
Stalled out at 355# on the DL, PR is 395#, best recent lift is 375# (two weeks ago).
Last time we did this, I did it in 15:00. It was brutal. However, my diet and constistency have improved, so perhaps I can top that time today...? Will we run around the block or treadmill? When we run outside at GWPC, do you factor in the stairs?
16:38 with 50lb dumbell swings. First time for "Helen" bar pull-ups still new, but I'm definitely enjoying the new venue. The rooftop is refreshing, exhilirating, yet potentially dangerous, the perfect crossfit milieu.
12:27 rx
The pullups are easier after that brutal pullup and ring dip workout of about a week ago. Burpees are up to date.
I skipped the deadlifts.
14:36 RX (lost count & ran 1 extra lap)
14:31 RX on 7/30/08 when it seemed harder.
Deadlift 165# (PR)
13:36rx. These were the first pull ups I've done since hurting my shoulder, so that was good. Also a 165# deadlift which was a PR.
about 11:50 with a 60 lb dumbbell and estimated 400 meter laps.
Correction: 13:46 RX :)
