Deadlifts – 180lbs 1RM [not a PR, so sad]

Fran – 7:39 RX — If i could only string pullups together!

Good luck today, gang!
#2 written by Mark 2 years ago

I was curious about 1RM standards across some of the exercises that we do and found this:

http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards.html

It gives 1RM standards by weight for men and women in the Press, Bench Press, Power Clean, Deadlift, and Back Squat.

yeah this was great I had a major PR with 7:00
#4 written by Dave 2 years ago

killer Becky! awesome
#5 written by Daniel Chun 2 years ago

PR for me at 6:19!

Unfortunately it cost me my boxers which ripped during the second set of thrusters. And by ripped, I mean totally obliterated.

NO PAIN NO GAIN!
#6 written by Jeff 2 years ago

PR for me too – 6:52. Dropped it by like two minutes from my first Fran. Good stuff…
#7 written by john hill 2 years ago

i figured fran wouldnt seem as bad after saturday…and i was half right. fran is still a pretty angry girl. PR of 4:56.
btw i jack i blame you for saturday and its effects.
#8 written by lindsay hill 2 years ago

so jack its your fault he keeps saying my stomach… 11:27 rx
#9 written by Naomi 2 years ago

This was a good day for *me* – 5:14. 53# for thrusters and blackband pullups. The exciting part for me is that this is the first time I did Fran and did not have to do jumping pullups. Then, Ms. Sarah D. gave me a compliment on my form with this WOD. Priceless!
#10 written by Sarah D 2 years ago

Naomi, you kicked the hell out of that WOD. I kept catching glimpses of some powerhouse thrusters and awesome pullups. I did not envy Fran today– I think you beat that WOD down!
#11 written by Dave 2 years ago

Would anyone be interested if we participated in this? http://www.concept2cts.com/programming/concept2cts/challenges/frc.asp
#12 written by Melinda 2 years ago

Awesome job Naomi. That was freaking impressive.
#13 written by Melinda 2 years ago

P.S. Mark – I checked that website out – it was pretty on target for me. I PR’d my back squat at 173 1 RM. Still puts me in the novice category. And puts it into perspective for different body weights.

BEA – CHECK IT OUT- You are probably a bad ass intermediate/advanced.
#14 written by Dave 2 years ago

We will be posting Rippetoe’s strength standards chart from
Starting Strength in the next few days
#15 written by Sara C 2 years ago

#16 written by chris t 2 years ago

Fran you ignorant ____.
8:45 RX
#17 written by chris t 2 years ago

Dave – I’m certainly interested.
#18 written by Allison B 2 years ago

Great job, everyone!

I hit two PR’s in one day! Back squat 175# (up 40 LBS SINCE THE TOTAL!) and Fran 7:38 Rx.

Back at it tonight.
#19 written by Mark 2 years ago

I’ve discovered a real liking for rowing since beginnign CF and would be willing to participate in the C2 Challenge if you form a team. Congrats to all you who set PRs yesterday. It was a rest day for me.
