Crossfit Makes You Weak

500lb deadlift for 5 reps

I dedicated the past 9 months to crossfit, olympic lifting and olympic style squatting.  This is the first time I've deadlifted heavy since then.  Looks like I didn't lose much strength.  Ya, the upper back took a bit of a dump and I flexed my arms a bit on the last few reps which isn't good but this is maxing out, which I literally haven't done in about a year.

Gotta love heavy deadlifting.  I think this goes to show that you can still be strong and compete in crossfit.
