Your first time with this metcon, I'd use about 60% of your single rep max on deadlift and about 80% of your 5-rep work sets on overhead press.

This is a short, heavy metcon.  After you've done it once, you'll have a better sense of the proper loading.  Ideally, you'll get this done between 5 and 8 minutes.  Once you go sub-5 with particular loads, bump up the weight, and then work on getting your time back under 5.  If you go over 10 minutes, you're loaded too heavy.  You may have the strength to move whatever loads you're using, but this workout is equally a high-intensity cardio session.
