Here is, for some of you, your first exposure to this workout. You will not like it. It will be long, and you will be sore. She's called Linda, aka the three bars of death. She's brought to you by www.crossfit.com Post your loads and times to comments. The shirts are being printed and shipped today, so you guys SHOULD get your shirts this week sometime. I will let you all know. Anyway, here is the workout. Get on it. You guys have been lazy this past week or so. I know there have been other work commitments, but you have to stay at it.
"Linda"
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the triplet:
Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight
Bench press: body weight
Clean: 3/4 body weight
Set up three bars and storm through for time.
Post time and loads to comments.
In other words, you do 10 Deadlift at your Rx'd weight, then do 10 Bench Press, then do 10 Cleans (these are squat cleans, btw) Then you do 9 of each, 8, etc, till you do 1,1 and 1. This is one of the harder workouts that I have ever done with Crossfit. It is a test of wills. Enjoy it.

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the triplet:
Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight
(275#)
Bench press: body weight
(185#)
Clean: 3/4 body weight
(135#)
Time was 37:50. First time doing Linda with the correct weight ratios, and it broke it off in my behind. Took me about a half hour for the urge to vomit/pass out to go away. Great workout though. First time I did Linda my time was 1hr 15 min. Great improvement.
OK, Linda's a BITCH.
Green, Croniser and myself did this on Tuesday to make up for Monday.
DL: 210
BP: 135
Clean: 105
We had issues with timing but we can say we all finished in a window from 37:15-40:00.
First time doing Linda, and at weights above the Rx'd. What a pain in the ass. My body is completely drained right now. Like the Capt said, the times are a little off since we made the weights good for everyone (except the smallest guy!)so we could just jump from one exercise to the next. Look forward to NOT doing this one for a long time.
