We had some deadlift awesomeness going on here yesterday!George got a 20# PR on 3 reps. My little Courtney pulled 225# off the floor for 3 reps. Wow! And Lori pulled 3 reps of 170# with near perfect form in her second week of CrossFit. Something tells me she may have done some of this stuff in a former life!
"Lower back strength is an important component of sports conditioning. The ability to maintain a rigid spine under load is critical for both power transfer and safety. The deadlift builds back strength better than any other exercise, bar none." pg. 104, Starting Strength, Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore
