Short but tough....

Well here is the second workout of the week - it was short but you know the short ones are just as tough and maybe tougher as they are more intense.

WOD

Deadlift - 1 x max

My previous max was 170 and I remember seeing stars as I lifted it. That wasn't too long ago either. Today I worked with Marg and we started the "climb" in weights.

I got 185 and then took a big jump to 195...I did get it off the ground and up to mid thigh but I just couldn't straighten my back and push my hips through so it was ugly and didn't count - but I know I did get it off the ground.

I went back to 190 and was able to complete that! 2olb increase in my deadlift max! Woo Hoo! I am sooooo close to that 200lbs mark....

5 Deadlifts (70% of max - for me that meant 135lbs)

10 Dumbell (DB) push presses (20lbs each hand)

AMRAP (as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes).

I completed 7 complete rounds plus 5 deadlifts.

Glad that was done but it does feel good to push myself and sweat (and sweat and sweat) again!

Wonder what tomorrow will bring?????
