Deadlifts

So...yesterday wasn't a day of a crazy workout at CrossFit, but a day of maxing out on our deadlifts. Deadlifts are one of the few workouts I hate. I feel like they work out my lower back more than my legs. LoL! Well, my previous max for deadlifting was only at a pathetic 315 lbs. It seemed like everytime we did a deadlift workout at CrossFit, I always did really crappy.

I made sure yesterday that I ate a good breakfast, so I egg whites with turkey bacon and broccoli. I had a protein shake later on and had a chicken sandwich with a salad for lunch. I had to make sure that I was taking in calories so I would have the energy to beat my PR (previous record) for deadlifts. I got into class and our trainer, Zach informed us that he wanted us to do 2 sets of 10 reps of 60% of our max. I was thinking...I'm gonna die and not be able to beat my PR. To my surprise, I surpassed my PR by 40 pounds...maxing out at 355 pounds.
