Keep up the great marketing that you guys do as we really appreciate it. Only you know who will like CrossFit or would enjoy true fitness irregardless of the false propaganda that surrounds us. Spread the CrossFit name but more importantly spread the word on what true fitness is really about and consists of. Let them know your passion for this program and what your are trying to accomplish as a result of being associated with CrossFit Omaha. Download this copy of the CrossFit Journal on what fitness exactly is and pass it on to those who you think may be interested in CrossFit Omaha or even just those who love to workout. Or use it to assist you in explaining why we do what we do.
Again, thanks for being yourselves and for all that you do, whether it's promoting this gym or the intensity with which you workout with. You guys are truly inspiring.
Happy Holidays!
WOD
Deadlift 5-5-5-5-5 reps
This is your opportunity to better your proficiency at this lift. Not only will the load be greater than usual but hopefully the technique will be your highest priority. We as a group are fairly decent deadlifters but as the reps increase form goes to shit. Do everything possible to keep this from happening! Ever! Do not be afraid of this lift, embrace it and the responsibility that goes along with executing it perfectly.

But I swallowed my disgust and did my deadlifts. Got up to a set of 4 at 285. I was starting to lose the arch, so I stopped there. I also did some thrusters and inverted rows, but not that whole WOD.
