After warmups, you have three attempts to hit a max deadlift.

Your score: Max deadlift divided by bodyweight.  This lift is largely determined by the rate at which you can recruit force from your muscles, NOT your size. Though leverage helps, a max lift is all about efficiency at the microcellular and macro level.

Today is graduation day for OnRamp! Show up early at 8 and cheer them on!

Right: MaryAnn Linquist in one of the most famous deadlifts at Catalyst ever! She was the second woman to ever pull 300lbs here; today, we're looking for the 10th….

Tomorrow: Mountain Maple on St. Joe Island!
