Math may not be the subject of choice for our young lifters, but they sure do work hard trying to perfect the deadlift!

Deadlift
3-2-2-1-1-1
This means a set of 3 reps, a set of 2 reps, another set of 2, a "set of one" aka a "single." This few reps indicates maximal load, and indicates longer rest times.
Birthdays:
Happy Birthday to Katie and Sandy!

I just got home from dinner at Theresa's in Wayne. They will make any of their pasta dishes with spaghetti squash. It was soooo good that I just had to share the news!!! :-)
That is so cool...thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Cate, that's great to know! We should get a group together for dinner there sometime :)
Theresa's is great!!! I'd love to get a group to go there some time.
Happy birthday Katie and Sandy!!!
So I have to know, Danny, did you have a drink??
Katie and Sandy, happy birthday!!!
I can vouch for Danny, he did not!!! He showed great restraint, even with the bears loss!
Happy Birthday Katie and Sandy! Hope you both have great days!

People def will be able to register later, but if you want to guarentee you are in the heat with the KOP crew..let me know soon! stephanie@radicalhateloss.com
Should you be hitting your max on that first set of 1?
Also wondering what % you should be using on the 3/2 rep sets. I'm sure this will be gone over in class, but I'm just anxious... :)
peterson:
i dont know if there is a science to it but i would be pulling near max on my first single. deads can be dangerous so a lot depends on how you are feeling. some days you have it and some days you dont. my set of three would be about 70 percent of my one rep max. From here, my set's of two would be 75 and 85% and from there I would probably jump 90-95% depending on how I felt. I would try to pull a PR on second to last one and see what happened with the last one. Obviously before putting on 70% for your 3, you need to significantly warm up with lighter weights but I would start counting there.
So sad about Jack LaLanne! What a wonderful life! He is quoted in that newsclip saying that inactivity is the biggest killer. As I watch my parents age, I couldn't agree more...Farewell,Jack!
Steph - I have the Broad Street Run on 5/1, so will be unable to do the Metro. Is anyone doing the Brandywine Mud Run this year?
I miss you guyzzz!!!! I'll be back soon... been traveling for the last two weeks... booooo

Way to go ladies!!!!!! Great job. It's so much fun to see you all getting so strong! Woot Woot! That was awesome.
happy b-day katie (dont know which one) and sandy.
information on sectionals was posted but not much. they said it starts march 15th and will last SIX weeks. a new workout will be posted every tuesday and you have until sunday to get it validated at an affiliate or uploaded to a website. this seems interesting. it is asking a lot of affiliates to be available to anyone that wants to do a workout in my humble opinion

Thanks for the birthday wishes! You won't see me tonight so there shall be no birthday burpees. I'm actually a lot older than people think I am, so it would be cruel of me to do that to you all ;]
Sandy
Whatever happened to Dr. Jeff's mobility class? That was a great class.

Solid deadlift work at the 4:30 class! A good amount of PR's and solid work on form and perfecting the lift!
A special shout to WW, Brian, Gabe and Ben who did the extra credit work at the end of class :)

Guys, just a reminder after looking at the pictures to have your neck/head in a nice neutral position. There is nothing high on the wall in front of you...promise.
