Some Rules Coach Rippetoe
Here are some basic precautions that need to be followed
for safety:
1) Don’t be stupid.
Don’t total if you’re injured to the extent that
a total will aggravate the problem. This will
cost you in at least training time, and possibly
time off of work if you’re ultra-stupid.
2) Don’t be greedy.
Learn to recognize the difference between
greed and ambition, and be merely ambitious.
3) Don’t be pig-headed.
If your first attempt tells you that you need to
lower your second, do so, without a misplaced
sense of diminished self-worth. It’s a test,
and it’s designed to measure what’s there,
not create something that’s not. That’s what
training is for.

If you see him, congratulate BRuss who is now officially a CrossFit Certified Trainer. Way to go BRuss! Check out HQ for a nice smiling pic of our boy.

He has taken a big drink. Have you?

Congrats BRuss! Awesome.

Graham, You're an animal.
"i'm just gonna stroll in late
and deadlift 485 on my way to a 1000 total!"
WTF
it's awesome working out with ya
motivating as hell.

Is Graham the first in the 1000LB
club? I think so and he's only getting stronger.

Congrat BRuss!

Thanks guys....unfortunately I have to point out that it was a 480# DL, but the Total was still 1K. I never would have gotten that without everyone yelling, and I wouldn't have tried if Mike and Kurt hadn't pointed out I only needed 15# to hit the 1,000 mark.

Graham- I believe you proved that my theory is right. You just focus on a different kind of pain and punish yourself!

Since, I am all about competition (I try to do my lifts right after Mikey, with 5-10 more #'s), here is my breakdown. I know there are plenty of people (Ryan Nance) that can beat me, so do it.

BS = 355
P = 165
DL = 480
Total = 1,000

I wish we had the camera out when Graham was doing that ridiculous DL. His veins in his neck were a joke. Pure physical and mental strength coming together. And to think- he was complaining about a lack of sleep and something about a hangover at 6:05 (that is when Graham arrives to morning workouts).
But...thanks Graham for pushing me to do the WOD. Very glad I did it. Nice to have some benchmarks.
