Brief de-load on the squats to set up for our test next week, and subsequent short volume de-load for the Open.
Side note: get all your shopping done this weekend, hang out with friends, maybe enjoy an adult beverage or take a bath – you all know you’re going to be completely useless next weekend between the leaderboarding, and going back and forth about repeating. Live your lives for a few more days, kids – in a fortnight you’ll be useless.
Finally putting up the pics of the amazing camps in Melbourne. Apparently leaving your iPad on an airplane makes it harder to have access to pictures that are on it.
I want to thank Josh and Ren, from CF Collingwood, for being the most amazing hosts in history, and making us feel welcome in their wonderful city.

Check CrossFit.com for competition rules. Win Everything (seriously, video this one).
Rudy, not sure if you’re actually wanting us to compete in what CrossFit.com posted or not, but it seems like you are. So with all respect, you know those videos are due the day after they posted the workout? The video for this one was due at 5 p.m. Pacific on Tuesday to be eligible.
Oh. And since I may have your attention lol. There’s a really cool framework (if you want to call it that) called DISQUS that you can add to this website that allows members to sign up with Facebook (or whatever social media network) and then allows other members to subscribe to each other and shows a history of posts. Invictus’ page uses it and I thought it made it pretty simple to look at other peoples progress, so long as they regularly post in the comments. Could be a useful tool for you as well.
Testing BS next week? Lulz. most everyone has been struggling hitting percentages of training maxes, let alone 1rm.

Only got around to doing today’s bench. But, I did get a 605# deadlift. Never really tried a max on it but found it today. Rudy, you’re right, all the pulls I need come from cleans and snatch. “Video or it didn’t happen” right?
