185-265-315-345-370 (used straps) 315 was touch and go but the rest were quick singles with a 1 breath reset until the last 2 reps of set 5 when I took 2 breaths before each rep. The heavier ones got me very dizzy and tired. Definitely underfed for a wod like this.

Set at 315 was tough.  Got off-balance on rep 9, almost lost it.  Struggled through a long pull for rep 10.  Set at 305 went better, but still very fatiguing.  Pleased with this – best comparable conventional deadlift this year was 325x8, and I usually pull less on sumo.

Didn't really go for it today.  Knees and lower back are feeling pretty beat up from work yesterday.  Phone/watch showed over 22,000 steps, 10.6 miles, and 99 flights climbed for the day with the majority of those steps ascending and descending stairs and vertical ladders.

I see the benefit of sumo deads from a “constantly varied” perspective and a different load on the traps, but I don’t like the posture it puts my shoulders in vice standard deads. Overall strength wasn’t the issue with my lifts today; it was the inability to set and sustain a grip on the smooth part of the bar. Had to reset my grip at least once every set, and at 245 I decided only one reset per set, hence the reduced rep count.

After hearing from a professional strongman on Joe Rogan podcast that deadlifts are absolutely stupid and pointless unless you are competing specifically for the deadlift which a very, very, very small percentage of people are designed to do, deadlifts are really not beneficial as far as the "risk / reward goes". He also mentioned that if one wishes to do deadlifts then a trap bar is the most ideal way which I concur. Furthermore, he also stated that no collegiate sports athletes do deadlifts outside of the trap bar deadlift which isn't that often if ever. Instead of deadlifts collegiate sports athletes do hang cleans from the rack for a higher reward vs higher risk with deadlifts. This strongman did say that if you wanted to straight bar deadlift then the rack is a good option if you do not have a trap bar.   

Probably one of the worst things about CrossFit is the massive number of deadlifts in programming. Be it deadlifts and running, deadlifts and box jumps, deadlifts and pull ups, deadlifts and kettlebell swings, etc. 

I personally find no use for deadlifts because anything over 300lbs I'm going to probably use a machine to move that object as most of the population. I think sleds are more useful, heavy farmers carries, sandbag carries etc. instead of deadlifts.  Obviously, I know most people don't have access to all those pieces of equipment, but I think deadlifts are inappropriate from a fitness perspective. Id imagine it was thought to be functional for people to learn to hinge at the hip and pick something up correctly and that makes sense but like a good morning exercise we probably can agree that has no place in a WOD but is a good learning mechanic for teaching a hip hinge.

had to regrip rep 10 of 265. Used a switch grip for 275. 

Globo wod: If you are using iron plates today lower the bar under control and consider using pads under the plates if the gym management hates noise.  Dumbbells sub dumbbell Sumo Deadlifts in the same scheme.  If you max the available dumbbells do AMRAP sets.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT
10 rep maxes will be sure to have you rethink what movements you thought were weightlifting and not monostructural, or which workouts were strength and not endurance

WORKOUT THEMES
High output followed by long rest. Squatting with an emphasis on range of motion at the hips, pushing, midline stability

					SHORT		MEDIUM		LONG

LIGHT

MEDIUM
					x
HEAVY

TECHNIQUE SCALE
As is, more sets though - enough until the technique is dialed in

CONSISTENCY SCALE
5 sets of 1:00 hold in the bottom of the deadlift position, rest as needed between sets

INTENSITY SCALE
Do a short sprint or burpee set before each lifting set to add some heavy breathing and make it more challenging to brace

MY STUFF
Sets of 225 while cleaning stuff
