Nice starting clean position, Lindsey
SWOD: Deadlift 3-3-3-3

Metcon: “Diane”.  Compare to 4.13.11
21-15-9 of:
-Deadlifts 225/155
-Handstand Push Ups

Don't let the fact this is a benchmark workout push you to do more than you can handle.  If you can't do the Rx'd weight safely, or keep a decent hollow or good depth in the handstand push ups, then scale it down.  I promise this workout will come up again!

In the Deadlift, keep the bar in contact with your body during the whole lift, rolling the bar over your shins & thighs. The closer the bar to you, the less stress on your lower back & the more weight you can lift. The Deadlift ends when your knees & hips are locked, but lower back is not hyper-extended.
SWOD: Hollow Rock, accumulate 3 min.

Metcon: “Diane”
21-15-9:
-Deadlift @ 225/ 155 #
-Handstand Push Ups

For the SWOD, partner up and help each other accumulate the time and keep good form.  Make sure you take time after the hollow rocks to incrementally warm up you deadlifts and overhead pressing positions.

For the metcon, compare to 8.09.10.

This photo from CrossFit East Sac shows one scaling option for handstand push ups. Watch this video for other ideas. All scaling options should be designed to eventually get you doing the actual movement.

SWOD:
Deadlift 1rm

Metcon:
"Diane"
21-15-9
- Deadlift 225/155
- Handstand Push Ups

WOD Tips:
For the SWOD, we want to establish a new personal best 1rm deadlift today. To do this, you don't want to overdo the warm up sets. Deadlifts are highly demanding on your muscular and nervous systems. You only have a certain number of pulls in you before burnout, so use them wisely. I like a 5-4-3-2-1 rep warm up approach with increasingly heavier weights. Establish that new max and then WRITE IT DOWN SO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS!!!!! :)

For the metcon, this is our first couplet for the week! If you can't do the rx'd weights of 225/155, take 50% of your 1rm weight and use it for Diane. Don't be discouraged from using the rx'd weight, however, if you can lift it even 3-5 times with good form. Break the big sets into mini sets with the rx'd weight and watch your strength and conditioning increase faster than you thought possible. For handstand push ups, review the video for scaling options. To scale up, use the paralletes. Compare your times and the weights you used to when we last did this one on 5.18.10.

SWOD: Thruster 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

Compare to 2.24.10

Metcon: : “Diane”
21-15-9
Deadlift, 225
Handstand Push Ups

For the SWOD, The Thruster is a deep front squat to a push press all in one explosive movement. Warm up with light weight, then start your singles at a weight that you can continue to add on to each rep, getting close to your 1 RM on the 7th rep.

The Metcon today is one of the first "Girl" workouts and my all time favorite workout. But that doesn't mean I'm good at it, those HSPU still get me. For deadlifts use as high of a weight as you can while keeping your good form. If you can't do HSPU, then substitute it with Handstand Holds (kick up to a handstand and hold for 3 seconds= 1 rep). Remember to activate your shoulders "shrugging" them to your ears.
