Post Loads and Time to Comments
All %’s for the strength segment of the workout should be based on your 1RM for the lift and are meant to serve as a guide in your training.  You should generally not be failing on any set except maybe your last one of the day.  If you’re unsure about your technique or ability to perform a given set safely at the posted %, then use common sense and good judgement.  When in doubt, live to lift again another day.

The metcon is a CrossFit Benchmark WOD designed to be completed in 10-12 minutes.  The Deadlift load is already scaled based on bodyweight, but use your best judgement to ensure proper movement execution and safety.  You should be able to complete the Deadlifts without stopping.  Make sure to put your RX’d efforts on the “Benchmark Board”!

Does a big event like the Super Bowl give you a reason to take an extra cheat day/meal or do you rearrange things so you only cheat once?  Post team and score to comments
