Lift well today…
I should probably hold off commenting until tomorrow because I’m feeling pretty good right now but deadlifts tend to catch up with me a bit later… Working with Paul we went a little heavier than I have in the past (245#) and I think I was able to hold the form so I don’t expect to be sore in the wrong places tomorrow!
The metcon was fun but I may have underestimated how big a difference there is in the shoulder height swings and overhead because I think I could have gone heavier (words I *never* say after a KB workout).
Mackenzie and I fooled around with the dead lifts today. Our dabbling brought us up to 168lbs. She kept saying she partnered with me in order to push herself, and I was the one just trying to keep.
Love deadlifts because I can hit triple digits, woot! I worked up to 135# and stuck there for all the sets of three. Really focused on core and upper back.The third rep was a little weak for me every time, but I’ve definitely seen progress on this lift.
Lunges were torture! Geez. I’ve never had a butt cramp before, but had several on the walk home! Need to drink more water.
Definitely feeling it in the legs and booty today!
