Theoritically should you be able to DL more than you could BS?  I’m wondering if my DL were lower because I BS’d first…

Deadlift 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

275-295-205-315-325-335-345

finally got back to my max (pr) weight after several months, its been so long that I thought it was pr weight. oh well, mabe next time. got to start remembering my numbers.

NICE!  Can I suggest livejournal.com?  I enter every WOD there (usually just cut and paste my BrandX post).  You have the ability to “tag” each entry.  So today you might tag “Deadlift x1”.  Next time this comes up, you can quickly pull up every entry with that tag and find your previous PR.  It’s free.

Make sense?

Quick question about Paleo diet.  Lean protein, garden veggies, no sugar.  I’m sure the cavemen ate fruit…but i see no mention?  Where does that come in?  Thanks in advance to responders.

Hi-please head on over here: http://www.crossfitbrandx.com/index.php/forums/viewforum/14/  and repost your question. You should get some good responses.

Thanks.  I kept going to the CF nutrition forum instead of Brand X nutrition forum.  You’re right, plenty of data there.  Thanks for the direction!

Deadlifts remain a bit of an enigma for me.  Last week an easy PR, this week with 5 pounds more my first rep was rounded and slow so I didn’t even attempt a second.

I think the biggest problem is that deadlifts are hard.  I have to bring it to the table mentally a lot more for deads than the other lifts.  If I’m not completely pumped for my lift, it’s gonna go poorly.  Next time…

Amen brother. 

Dead Lifts (x1): 135lbs, 185, 235, 235, 235, 235, 285

With a barbell for the first time I that I can remember. Have performed in the past with dumbbells. Might could have done more weight, not real sure about the form.

Can only speak for myself-I can DL about 30% more than I can BS.  Not sure if that’s typical-I know my BS is not where it should be and for some reason I’m making steady progress on the DL. 

You packed in a lot for one day-I would imagine you’d have gotten farther on the DL if you hadn’t done the BS first-only way to know for sure is to try it again!

Back Squat

Back Squat 3-3-3-3-3 reps

Weights: 65(PR)/75(PR)/85(PR)/95(PR)/100(PR)

I had no idea what my weight limit should have been since I have no experience in weight training at all, so I just started low (apparently real low) and worked my way up. Don’t think I actually got anywhere near my maximum though.
I subbed the bar for a backpack (tightened as close to the shoulders as possible) and a few dumbbells rested on the shoulders to get the weight. The form was definitely questionable as I can feel my back already starting to get sore (I think it was more from picking the weights up between reps though, rather than the actual exercise). I tried to ask a question about how to go about properly subbing with this equipment in my last post but nobody answered.

When i was weight limited at home, I tied dumbbells to the bar in the middle. It wasn’t the cleanest thing, but it worked for a while. Then solved the problem the old fashioned way, with cash.
