Fun working with Melissa and Ilana on the Axle Bar DL!! I will take the 17 rep improvement on the wall ball as a win on this one. Thanks JD for not counting out loud and for not hitting me with your wall ball. Much appreciated. Fun times (even with a wall ball) Frozen!

I’ve been going lighter on the DLs lately to prevent back issues. When I did this back in March I pulled a muscle on the last round so perhaps this strategy worked out better for me today as so far, so good. A bit disappointed on the WB tally but I no-rep’d myself a few times and also may not have used the 10# ball last time.
One-hundred percent right Scooter. That was my thought the last time we did this WOD. It should be renamed “Seven Minutes of Suck.”
“OPTIMUS PRIME” 138Rx previous 141Rx.
Great breakfast turnout today!
Axle bar deadlift: 160#
WOD: 77 reps @ 14# to 9′ target, 135# deadlift
I’ve never really worked with the axle bar too much (or a mixed grip) and found both to be a good challenge!
Trap bar DL: 225#
Optimus Prime: 85 at 155#
