248.6
WOD:
Deadlifts (#225 RX)
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
After each round do the following:
5 pushups
7 situps
12 squats
My abs were killing me so I subbed in pullups and did this:
5 pushups
5 pullups
12 squats
This is the first WOD that I haven't finished in some form or fashion. I DNF'd at about 16-17 minutes after regressing to 185 after the sixes (round 5). The problem was the weight was just too much. When I got down to the sixes, I was completely blown and doing them one at a time, which is not the intention of the workout. 225 is 75% of my 1RM of 300. Appropriate weight for something like this is probably 60% of 1 RM.
Total work achieved:
40 deadlifts at #225
9 deadlifts at #185
35 pushups
35 pullups
84 squats
One reason I did the RX on this one was to help solidify my gains in the deadlift. I expect it worked for that purpose, but at the same time technique goes to shit when you're this tired, which is super bad, especially with deads.
