   Lads, as my deadlift 1RM was 140kg (last time) and 3RM is 130 kg( more recently) I doubt that I could manage 125kg for ten reps any ideas what might be a suitable scaling for today?

   For us that can’t lift ‘large loads over small distances’ whats the scaling for todays WOD ?

   Could we have the scaling posted when things like this come up?

   Thanks.

   If someone thought 125kg was kind of heavy, I’d probably give them about 70% of their best deadlift for this workout. Maybe a little more if they were very consistent with their form when fatigued.

   (That last part is why we dont post blanket recommendations for scaling, there’s always individual variations)

   You’d want a weight where you can get through at least the first round relatively unbroken (9 and 1 would be OK). This is a heavy metcon, not ineffective strength training with no rest periods.

   Hey guys,

   Thanks for the offers. Tony I’ll take that DVD player. Dale I’ll take that TV if that’s okay?

   Further to this, I’m also looking for the following:
   Bedside lamp
   iPhone
   Latte Machine
   Aston Martin
   Persian Rug
   Pez Dispenser.

   Anyone?

   I’ve got at least three items off of that list but I’m not sure if it would be worth it with the shipping costs and all.

    1 Hour spinning.. then scaled WOD… 7:08( 75 Kg/TJ)… followed by general technique work on cleans and front squat.. not ideal i know but bein back in the matrix is very different.. the skippin rope they had in the ”weights room” was so short i did one single under and pretty much tripped over it.. lets just say there’ll be words with management!!!
