Deadlifting:315 lbs x 2335 lbs x 2355 lbs x 2380 lbs x 1 (a new PR and well past 2x’s body weight, which has been a target of mine for some time)390 lbs – failed twice
I was hoping for a good, low-rep heavy-weight wod today. loads were:285, 305, 315, 315, 315(f) – 285. just could not get the bar off the floor the last set. 315 is a new pr for me also.
from earlier this year, my goals were handstands, muscle ups, and 2xBW DL. got the first two, and closing in on the 3rd. this crossfit stuff actually works! 🙂

Sumo DL 225/275/315/315/335Felt much better than traditional DL’s because I was able to keep my back set.

needed to use 25 plates on the ground to raise the bar to keep my back set.
185/215/235/245/265/285
felt good, could have done more.

Everyone did an amazing job yesterday. It was great to get involved with CFSBK again.
I can’t wait to get back full time. I feel like I am missing out.
See you all again soon!

Allan E says
Great photos/video! And an amazing day.. had a great time :D, thanks to all!
Was wicked having the CrossFit Harlem team there too — these guys knew how to whoop it up! (volume!!)
Juliana says
Today I felt the aftermath of FGB. (LOL)
DL 135-145-155-160-165prthis was really fun today.
Margie I think ur a beast!!! Kick-ass.
FGB was alot of fun and I can’t wait for next year. Thank you to all who made the event possible.
Margie says
Juliana – you’re not so far from beastdom yourself. I wanna see you get to a weight you fail at!
Brandy says
First time deadlifting heavy
135, 140, 145, 145 could not get it off the ground, 140
Thanks Margie and Juliana for helping convince me that I could lift that unfriendly bar off the floor when I wanted to stop.
Adam says
I was excited for low-rep deadlifting, but ended up not really feeling it.
285/275/275/275/275
My form just didn’t really feel good until the last two sets, so I kept it light.
Instead of 3×12 knees-to-elbows I did
12 knees-to-elbows12 hanging straight leg raises12 windshield wipers
I usually jump at a chance to work on Olympic lifts, but I was beat.
Max says
Done at home
225, 245, 260, 270, 282
This puts my final set at 2x body weight according to the morning scale. The last rep was pretty ugly though.
