Congratulations, Susan. Nice job.

"Loads unknown"? Care to elaborate?

Evan said...

Seeing as how it is Halloween, and that the "Unknown" can be scary & spooky, we thought we would put together a ladder, in which athletes did not know how much was on the bar.

Each round, Simply record the station that you achieved your heaviest lift (you will know). Stations are labeled 1-6.

Your coach will reveal the secret loads to you after the WOD.

Fascinating! And mysterious!

Can't believe I have to miss a deadlift. (Cat to vet @ 5, yard decorated like a graveyard - kids wouldn't forgive me if I was gone).
Doesn't sound like something I should do with a bum arm. Next time!! Good luck to all!

Sujata said...

Thank you Teresa for guiding us through the ladder. I'm both happy and annoyed with my result - didn't think I would get that close to my PR but very annoyed that I was nearly at my PR and did not make it! Definitely a fun way to do Deadlifts!

This looks fun, I have been wanting to do a "Blind" or unknown heavy deadlift for awhile. Should be interesting to see if I get a PR.

Got a total of 104 for the nutrition challenge this week. I had cheat meals of Chipotle's and pizza. Next week I am going to try to go with only one cheat meal but you can bet it will be a good one. :)

Great job hitting 225 Mandi! I have some major catch to do!!

Josh said...

What was the heaviest load for round 3?

Evan said...

Bar 6 Men's ladder was 290.

Josh said...

Thanks Evan, that's what I thought. 290 was my heaviest lift then.

Evan said...

Congratulations, Josh!

Great lifting
