''Bench Press 3-3-3+'' (10.11.2011)
Work through the following sets of Bench Press using the percentage based sets outlined below. To determine loads per set each athlete will take their single repetition maximum and multiply it by .9 with percentages being derived from the resulting number.
(See Notes section below for an example of how to find what weight to lift per set)

The final set is a ''+'' set which means each athlete will attempt to execute as many additional repetitions as possible beyond the initial three.

5 x 40% (warm-up)
5 x 50% (warm-up)
3 x 60% (warm-up)
3 x 70%

3+ x 90%

Notes: For this example's purpose the 1-Rep maximum is 100lbs, follow the steps below to see how we would determine the weights per set.
Step 1: 100(lbs) x .9 = 90
Step 2: Percentages are found by taking 90 x .4 = 36lbs (40%)
Step 3: If necessary round weights to the nearest 5. 36lbs becomes 35lbs for the first warm-up set.
Step 4: Repeat for all percentages/sets
Step 5: Slay.

Complete the max # of repetitions within the time allotted:
2:00 x Deadlift (275/185lbs)

Notes: The second part of the WOD is optional (peer pressure... what?) as it was one of the five single events held during the Beast of the East's individual fitness competition.
Those wishing to taste test more than just one of BOTE's challenging workouts will be encouraged to add a Deadlift max rep test to the front or back end of today's training. The order in which the two events occur is completely up to each CrossFitter with a mandatory 2:00 rest between efforts.

Be relentless... and definitely Get Some, freaks.

Marcus has had this event in his sights for months and has remained relentlessly focused on driving himself towards that next level of elite fitness, it's been a privilege for us to see the inspiring gains he's made over the last few months of rigorous daily training.

''Deadlift 5-5-5+& Controlled Burn'' (10.07.2011)

Warm-up Drills (10.07.2011)
Run 800m
9 x Medicine Ball Cleans (20/14lbs)
12 x Wallball (20/14lbs)
15 x Abmat Sit-ups
-Shoulder Dislocates (PVC)
-Scorpion Stretch
-ITB Stretch
-Groiners

''Deadlift 5-5-5+'' (10.07.2011)
Work through the following sets of Deadlifts using the percentages outlined below.
MULTIPLY YOUR SINGLE REP MAXIMUM BY .9 BEFORE USING THE RESULTING # AS YOUR STARTING POINT WHEN DETERMINING THE WEIGHT/LOADS TO USE AS PRESCRIBED BY THE %'s BELOW.
The final set is a ''+'' set which means each athlete will attempt to execute as many additional repetitions as possible beyond the initial five.

5 x 40% (warm-up)
5 x 50% (warm-up)
3 x 60% (warm-up)
5 x 65%
5 x 75%
5+ x 85%

Notes: Today's Hint revolves once again around the quality of conduct those in our crew are expected to represent. Putting up impressive looking high volume scores (like the number of reps from a ''+'' set) is absolutely meaningless when the quantitative value is representative of those fringe athletes who lack the willpower, self discipline, and overall desire to improve. These are qualities we observe almost universally in those that exhibit the most potent desire and drive to excel. They strive to maintain a seemingly constant and uncompromising focus on doing everything they can the right way the entire time, every time.

No one like's another person's ego (if they have one...) which is just a nicer way of stating a simple and sometimes harsh little fact that packs a resonating punch: No one likes your ego except you.

1-Rep Maximum/Percentage Calculator

''Controlled Burn'' (10.07.2011)
Work through all 8 ''Tabata'' intervals (:20 on x :10 rest) for each movement before transitioning to the next.
8 Intervals x Hang Power Clean (95/65lbs)
8 Intervals x Push Press (95/65lbs)
8 Intervals x Jump Squats (95/65lbs)

Notes: Today we will be tracking lowest score per movement, which is generally a warning that this little gem of a WOD might be appearing in the future again for a re-test. For those that are feeling a bit frisky today there's an additional challenge available for the undertaking.
Once each athlete completes the initial 12 minutes of Tabata intervals (3 movements, 4 minutes each) they will be given the option to move into the challenge portion of the workout. If the athlete chooses to embrace the additional challenge they will need to establish an average rep # for each movement using only the highest and lowest scores earned. Once an athlete has determined their numbers they will be thrown back into the fire as soon as the next full ''Tabata'' round commences. This time around there are only 6 intervals instead of 8, and athletes will now be under the additional pressure of being eliminated from continuing on should they fail to keep their scores from dropping more than one point below the established objective numbers (average of high and low #'s).
What's that? You made it all the way through again?
Well, hell! Get back in the fight for another round of bliss.
Should anyone last long enough to hit up round 3 they will face 4 intervals per movement with the scoring requirements remaining as described above. Round 4 is two intervals per, with the final round being comprised of just a single work interval for each of the movements.

This one is going to sting... bring the lumber, freaks.
