FYI – CrossFit Oakdale will be attempting 1 Rep Max (1RM) for the deadlift on Thursday.  I’ll review my rules for 1RM attempts and sessions tomorrow, page but I wanted to give you a heads up.  My rules for 1RM, # order especially on the deadlift is simple: Be smart.  If you lose a good lumbar curve, the lift is done.  More tomorrow.
 
We’ll be using the deadlift 1RM to establish percentages that we’ll be lifting off for the coming months.

Have you pushed the sled yet?  It was made right here in Oakdale at the high school, and we have more on the way!
