Thursday

My plan today was not to go to class, but to work on Deadlifts. I cat remember the last time i did heavy deadlifts, and today was the day i would do it again. Due to traffic, i got to the later than i wanted. After a frustrating drive, i changed my plan on deadlifts and decided to work on single leg deadlifts. I have never done them before so i didn't know what to expect. Did 6 rounds of Cindy (5 Pullups, 10 Pushups, 15 Squats) as my warmup and hit the deadlifts. Warmed up with the bar, and was ready to hit it. Here are my numbers:

5 reps at 95#
4 reps at 115#
3 reps at 135#
2 reps at 145#
1 rep at 155 (failed) 
2 reps at 145#

The weights felt great, and my hamstrings were on fire. Really liked this workout and looking forward to doing it again. By the time i was done with this workout, CrossfitDC class was about to start. What the hell, why not just join the gang. Today's wod was:
AMRAP in 20 min
250m run
10 Wall ball (20#)
20 Squats
30 Double Unders

Total rounds: 9 

After seeing this wod posted, i wasnt happy that i had to run again after running yesterday. But the run felt great. Surprisingly the squats were the hardest part of the workout. The run felt great,  and the double unders got easier by the second round. Glad i did class. Tomorrow is a scheduled day off...looking forward to it.
