Deadlifts then Pullups, Row and Walking Lunges

Followed the Crossfit Invictus WOD from July 30, 2019.  Metcon was a complete fail.

Results: A. Deadlifts 185-210-230-245-265-285lbs.  B. Needed to scale better or just give up, only managed two rounds neither within the 6 minutes. Scaled to 45lb DBs from the start, but switched to kipping pullups (not C2B) in the second round.  Since I don’t have a Concecpt II scaled my rower to 15 cal in the first round (2:06), 10 cal in the second round (1:33). 7:15, 6:09. Ugh.
