    Deadlift 205x5x5

    Grace, 3:58 Rx. That’s 40 seconds slower than my PR.

    I’m back! Still taking it easy but at least I’m there.
    DL: 5×5 @ 165#
    No WOD, rowed instead.

    Hope to see everyone at the rowing seminars!

      Strong work brother. Good working out with you this morning.

    • Kelly says:

      Dude!!! Nasty grace this morning! Welcome to the gym homie! Made quite a debut with that grace :-)

        Corey, thank you for making my first wod at Rx super friendly, and the team work/support on the deadlifts perfect. I’ll see you Wednesday when you come back in.
        Kelly, thank man! I must admit it was nice to do a wod in my wheel house. I promise you my other bench marks are not like this. I almost wish it was something else, so I can offer a more realist appearance of my current load capacity. Anyways, I’m sure we’ll get there and can’t wait to grow with the gym!!!

    DL at 105#. Fran: 55# in 9:39…ish? Thin blue band for pull ups.

  11. Brad D says:

    Deadlifts #315
    Karen 6:57 RX and PR

    would have made the board if it wasn’t for Gene’s crazy time of 5:55, way to go buddy!

  12. Jessica K. says:

    215 DLs
    3:08-Grace Rx PR!

    Kelly explained a strategy of not looking away from your bar. That helped so much after I did my first 15 unbroken, then 5 (wanted to turn around after those reps but I didn’t) then 3, 2, and ended with singles but putting my hands on the bar right after dropping my bar! Thanks for the tips Coach Kelly!

    Did Karen in 11:38? I did the first 80 or 90 with the 16 and switched to the 14. It’s an improvement over that open WOD, so I’m happy.
