Im not sure have the deadlift in a circuit is wise
 

It just needs to be made clear that crossfit is a sport and not a form of life improving exercise is all.

with your back, it great to read you're on the mend and a busted disk is more often than not a culmination of dubious lifting and not caused by one incident.
 
Im not sure have the deadlift in a circuit is wise
I on the other hand not only think it wise, but is also one of the best exercises to include in a circuit. The aim of a weight training circuit is not to affect the skeletal muscles directly but indirectly, through the improvement of one's cardiorespiratory fitness level, which also has a direct effect on the speed of one's metabolism.

Granted, if the lifter's aim during a weight training circuit is the targeting of his muscular system as the primary target, then most certainly the dead lift would be an unwise choice to include for an exercise due to the high level of stress such an exercise would bring onto the muscles of the lumbar region.
 

hmmm precisely why I think it unwise to include the dead lift the other exercises you've included will place added burden on the trainees ability to maintain posture, especially when fatigued , the dead lift can be very rugged on ones low back depending on their leverages, I'd much rather see a pull down type exercise and a push.
good talk.
 
you can do classic crossfit rep scheme of 21-15-9 and mix up barbell movement with a body weight movement, example most notorious CF workout being FRAN which is thrusters and pullups, but many other ways of mixing it up, thrusters/overhead squats/cleans/snatch mixed with pullups/bupees/box jumps,
other formats include minute on, minute off, pick a few movements and do a few rounds example max reps on each movement, any barbell movement you want light
example
min 1 row
min 2 rest
min 3 40kg cleans
min 4 rest
min 5 double unders/skip
then theres the death by format, for example death by burpees, start at 4 burpees and every minute add a rep and go as long as you can, also tabarta format, or you can make up a long chipper workout you could pyramid, 1km run/30 cleans/50 double unders/30 cleans'/1km run

endless things you can do at home with basic gear just get creative or google the crossfit benchmark workouts
 
CrossFit workouts whether at home or at gym give you enormous benefits. The foremost thing about any sort of workout is consistency.
