Judi Deadlifts Games Style from CrossFit East Sac on Vimeo.
Judi Farmer, 62 with only 2 months of CrossFit experience demonstrates some serious strength. Since we deadlift all the time at CFES, Judi has had a good amount of deadlift exposure in her 2 months here. She had a 3 rep max at 95# a couple weeks ago. We conservatively estimated her 1 rep max at 115 and started her bar at about 60% or 70#. After the first lift she added 5# to the bar each lift and lifted once every 30 seconds. Judi is a bit inconsistent with her approach to the bar, but when she goes through all the steps correctly and gets a proper setup, she is very strong. In the video you hear me cueing her through each step. Judi made 17 successful lifts and we stopped her at 150#! She was plenty strong enough to lift more, but her core endurance was wearing down and she was starting to lose form a bit. A 150# deadlift is an amazing lift for Judi and we are in no rush to see her lift heavier. The focus from here will be on gaining consistency in technique and form. As this consistency comes she will be gaining the mid-line strength and the hip mobility to maintain better positioning. As we see this develop, we will encourage Judi to lift towards her true strength potential. For now fantastic job and keep up the strong work.
