Some strategy tips from Rudy at The Outlaw Way.

If you ARE competing, please come for 9 am.

If you are NOT competing, please come by at 10 am, or come early to judge and/or cheer on the competitors. We will do a scaled (if necessary) version of 14.3. 

I’ve been trying to reverse engineer this workout based on some known max deadlifts of top competitors, and at least for the men, it looks like it might be based on a 1 RM deadlift of 450 lbs, which works out to roughly 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 % for the men’s weights. The women’s weights don’t quite work out that nicely, but for the purposes of scaling this workout appropriately, I think the 10 % increase per round will be fine. Don’t be too picky about it. Just go up by 10-20 pounds per round (depending on your 1 RM).

If you are competing, your NUMBER ONE priority is FORM — not your score, your FORM. Do NOT allow your back to get wonky for the sake of an extra rep or two. This is a very challenging workout format (read “dumb”), so be aware that at the higher weights (you know, when you really need good form), your back and hips will be tired. Be smart about your movement.
