So anyone who can, meet in the gym at 8pm today.
If you can't, here's the workout we're going to be doing:
Deadlift
5-5-5-5-5
Post weights for each set
That means warm up with some lighter weight deadlifts then do five in a row at a heavier weight, then adjust the weight and do 5 more, then 5 more, then 5 more, then 5 more. Rest about 4 minutes between sets. You always want each set of 5 to be challenging. Your weight scheme should be less like 50-75-100-150-200, and more like 180-180-185-190-185 (those are just example weights, yours will be completely up to your body). Remember, the deadlift is not a fast lift.
If you don't know how do deadlift, come to tonights session or find someone who did who can show you how. Don't try if you don't know how because this is one lift where doing it wrong can be bad for you.

Edit:
So I figured out that you guys have practice tonight. If you can, find someone to show you how to deadlift and try to get this one in this week, otherwise, just skip it, or pull something off of crossfit.com to do as a workout.
