Full Live Stream - Max Deadlift | Individual Event 6 - 2023 Rogue Invitational

Full coverage of both the Men's and Women's Max Deadlift, Event 6 of the CrossFit competition at the 2023 Rogue Invitational in Round Rock, Texas (Saturday, October 28).
In one of the least complex but most entertaining workouts of the weekend, the competitors looked to close out Saturday on a strong note, taking on an ascending series of deadlifts with a failed attempt spelling elimination from the event. To the crowd's enjoyment, this set up another lengthy showdown between Tia Toomey-Orr and Laura Horvath, as well as an incredible display of strength from Alex Gazan and Dani Speegle, who carried the workout into 18 rounds. On the men's side, Pat Vellner did more than enough to extend his lead atop the leaderboard, while Chandler Smith rebounded from a tough Event 5 with an unreal performance that vaulted him back into the podium race (and sent the Dell Diamond crowd home happy).

@@rook6378 That makes sense. But you have to have good grip strength.

I love that they're testing 1RM Deadlift but this event had no business being this long lol. Make bigger jumps and/or make it possible to skip lifts if you want to

[@anyadeering]

Yes!! The strategy that would come from skipping lifts!

[@TheBoyfriendOfYourWife]

This is CrossFit not strongman. There has to be an element of endurance in it

TIA NOT WEARING A BELT

[@coach_nicolewest]

Better for the core 💪🏼

[@BuiltonGODSrock]

I wonder why? She wore it during the squats

[@JeromeBetta]

I am guessing she is prioritizing ab and core health being postpartum

[@chrism45]

No belt is NOT better or healthier for the core. The only reason not to wear one is if it doesn't feel comfortable. Wearing a belt is much safer and allows the core to work harder.

[@garrycox9089]

@@coach_nicolewest not when deadlifting at that weight she needs to braise

[@simontbirk]

Camera management: would love to see a bigger focus on making it immersive for us viewers. Seems like there is a mismatch between close-up and overview shots. In a lot of the deadlifts we got an overview shot during the actual lifts or a close-up a few seconds into the actual lift making it hard to really feel the action. In event 5 there were a lot of close-ups in a race event that lasted around 20-30 seconds, instead of giving an overview shot so we can follow the competition. One of the clearest Crossfit memories is when Mat Fraser took the win on the run sprint event in the Games, and I think that was due to the amazing live (overview) footage angles which enabled us viewers to feel true live excitement about the race and where the competitors were relative to each live in the race. Just a suggestion 🙂

[@singlespeedcrossbike]

It’s a great suggestion. There’s no purpose to have that overhead shot. We are missing lifts and having to watch the replay. Director/ producer get a mitt and get in he game!

[@neilbe7118]

I'm just glad it's free

[@cheesepizza87]

Totally agree, a weird style/feel constructive feedback sir.

[@romainerichards3558]

Speaking nothing but facts! I want to see every DL lift and every athlete while they’re actually doing the DL.

Worlds natty athletes all in one place. Nice!!!

[@kkellerk23]

You win 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@GeorgeOwinoA]

Speegle not winning a purely strength event tells you more athletes are improving on their strength. But Gazan wow, immaculate throughout. You can tell that she could still go an additional 15lbs at least. Also I feel like Hovrath would have gotten some more had she switched to mixed grip when the weight got heavier she's spending a lot of effort in maintaining that hook grip.

[@prof113]

Chandler was super impressive here.

[@dac1720]

i was noticing that. she looked tiny compared to the other women. amazing.

[@GeorgeOwinoA]

Jeff Adler's first ever crossfit win was a strength event that had DL and squats back in the 2020 bubble which included both Fraser and Medeiros. I remember he did that without using a belt so I imagine for him to get better at other crossfit categories to win it all last year he had to shed off some of that strength and spread the focus. That's what Chandler and Speegle might need to do because they keep having extreme performances on both ends depending on the workout type.

[@jomlin143]

It’s interesting to see Laura being so friendly with everyone but Tia.

[@That_BodybuilderChickNZ]

i am just a non competitive female bodybuilder but the fact that i go to the gym to rep out 140 - 150kg deadlifts and some of these women cannot even do that and they are competitive rogue athletes gives ME an ego boost

[@Dynamic.Drills]

amazing match

[@ribkanamoroze6071]

невероятно сильные люди!! Моё восхищение. Сколько трудов стоит за результатами... сложно представить

[@April.R646]

If I'm not mistaken last year Speegle lifted up to 420lbs with no problem. This year she was struggling around 365lbs. Her lifts were smooth. She didn't bounce it up like she did on this day.

[@christinastrider8630]

It was a different lift.

[@danielsparks1848]

Speegle is a terrible lifter. The low back looks horrendous.

Is it just me, or is the mens division less interesting this year compared to womens. I mean womens has been really interesting past few years with the young competitors like Mal and Emmas bringing the heat. This years rogue I was missing interesting men. And I dont mean to take anything away from the great athletes but was missing the ”umph” factor that would hve made me watch all the events🙈

[@Anonymous-sb9rr]

Are you not allowed to skip lifts? In strongman people skip lifts to safe some energy for heavier attempts. These athletes will be quite fatigued by the time they set their 1 rep max, not ideal.

[@jazmyneknox406]

this is not a strongman competition. this is crossfit where fatigue is a big part of it.

[@wanderer_oti]

@@jazmyneknox406 it seems stupid imo.

[@GeorgeOwinoA]

@@wanderer_oti if you stopped to remember that endurance is like one of the key ethos of crossfit it would kinda stop being stupid. you don't have to be so closeminded - we get it you love strongman events.

[@wanderer_oti]

@@GeorgeOwinoA To me it seems pointless to max an event while being fatigued. You don't get to see the true max of the athletes

What is with the weight choices in the women’s pulls 390,400,405 and you have to pull everyone? Not the best for finding a true max

[@ABUNDANCEandBEYONDATHLETE]

I would have won the deadlift event. Are these peeps under 30? I know people in HS who do 550+. The minimum requirement should be 300KG. What do you all think?

[@Freshprankstv1]

As a serious lifter I know what u mean but that’s just their level. They have to do so much cardio, ridiculous amount of pull-ups, be low body fat. These guys are pretty small so I guess it’s just all a mix

[@joeypotter4320]

The Rogue organizers must be quite annoyed they gave Bethany an invitation to their competition. Second event she is not participating in. Many healthy athletes could have competed in her spot.

[@danielsparks1848]

Well, she has a crippling back injury. It is not worth getting more injured over it. She earned her position too.

[@johnfitzgerald1192]

I always wanted to know how far can they ride a bicycle being muscular (strong)?

[@johnfitzgerald1192]

Interestingly to report according to my research. For 2 years I was weight training. My bench press was 295lbs. (5-8 reps), starting from 135lbs., first day in the gym. My squat was 225lbs., (5-8 reps) and my deadlift was 225lbs., - 285lbs., (5-10 reps). My leg press was 225lbs., - 525lbs., (5-10 reps). My arm curl was 40lbs., 75lbs., (5-10 reps). After weight training for 2 years and doing little cardio (treadmill/cycling). I decided to test my strength. I bought a road bike and couldn't ride a half a mile barely making it to the next block without being out of breath. Very bad. It was trying to swim and I kept sinking and getting no where. I didn't like and decided to change my workout regimen.

They stretch this game out so long doing 1, 2 or 3 people at a time when they have 4 spots available. Make more sense to do 4 people at a time. These ladies have had a long day. I'm sure they would like to be out there as less as possible at night. It makes no sense to have 1 person lift by themselves.
