500 meter row, 25 Deadlifts 155lbs, 12 bar muscle ups X 3

[@ayw5118]

why would you do that though... looks perilously risky especially the high rep deadlifts.

[@the42yearoldcrossfitter81]

What makes it perilously risky ?

[@raymondsmith2040]

I mean it's only 155lbs. It only be risky if his max wasn't more than 225 which from what ive seen it's almost double that.

@@raymondsmith2040 ​​⁠very well said and correct. I’ve never been great Deadlifting maximal weight. My current max is 465lbs which is far above 155lbs

What's your height/weight?

[@the42yearoldcrossfitter81]

5’11” 190 give or take a few lbs

[@raymondsmith2040]

@the42yearoldcrossfitter81 ok cool. I'm about your height and ideally would like to drop 10lbs to around that weight. I clown crossfit sometimes but usually comeback to it when I'm too busy or wanna cut some weight lol.

@@raymondsmith2040 I sit at around 5% body fat according to hydrostatic body composition test and have put on 3lbs of muscle in the last year .. I’ll be 43 soon. That’s with only the training I post on this channel. With that said .. I don’t train for aesthetics, I train for longevity and to never be limited due to any physical inability.

@@raymondsmith2040thank you… none of that said to brag or ego. Only to highlight the reason I started this channel. With the intent to motivate, inspire and educate.. to highlight what I have found to be the best training methodology available as there is a lot of confusion and simply hate on it. Also to be a demonstration of how I feel it (CF) should be applied regarding volume, intensity movement etc. For example .. many people think CF inures .. not true. It makes you harder to be injured (as anyone can see from this channel I’ve posted over 1000 sessions and not 1 injury. That CF makes you weak. Untrue. Will it make you as strong as a powerlifter or professional Olympic weightlifter. No .. but it will make you stronger then anyone you know while being able to do gymnastics and not get tired running etc… people think it won’t build muscle. False. I’ve coached 1000s in the gym along with hydro body composition tests and I can asure you that’s not true. I’m only 1 example. They say after 40 it’s incredibly difficult to put on muscle. My real life experience says different and that’s while maintaining a very lean body mass. Hope you can find value in this. Keep getting after it.
