Max weight without dropping across the room..
I have done this for max effort a few times now.. at Rob Orlando's seminar I did 400 lbs across their gym which is a little smaller than ours lengthwise.. I did 390 a few weeks back late at night with success but almost had a stroke afterward from squeezing so tight.. I was curious what I could get up to today..
I carried 250, 290 without issue. We upped it quickly to 350 and I was able to do this and still felt like I had some left.. I think we jumped a bit too much ,but whatever live and learn.. We added 60 more lbs and went to 410 so I just attempted the PR before we took up way too much class time.. Surprisingly the actual deadlift part came up really easily, but I took one step, lost my footing, stumbled, lost my grip, and that was the end of that. The first two steps are so crucial with max effort carries.. Once I get going I can usually keep on walking, but getting the inertia going is hard when you have a load over your own bodyweight, in each hand.
I think I can do over 400 if I try it again.
"Lucky"
AMRAP 7
7 Hang Power Snatch 95/65
7 Pull- Ups
7 Rounds + 5 Reps Rx'd
Grip was sort of the limiter at a certain point for me.. I did 2 rounds in 1 minute out of the gate, thought that 10 rounds might be achievable.. But then I got through round 5 or so (at around minute 4) and realized time was speeding way up and I couldn't hang onto the barbell or bar for many reps at a time.. Score suffered there a little. Good WOD though.. Weight was just heavy enough to make it tough by the end, but not heavy enough that it slowed me down.
