Strength log for Wednesday, August 27th

Did press on Monday, front squats yesterday. This morning Nasty Girls had ring dips a ton of air squats.

So bench and back squats were out of the question, so that really only left dead lifts.

I was ready to test my 1 rep max, so that's what I did.  Between sets I'd do my physio homework: bretzels.

Did 135# for a few of reps, 185# for a couple, 225# for 2, 275# for one, 315# for 1, jumped right to 335#, no problem.  345#, this was tough, but managed it unhesitatingly.

I was sure I could hit 355#, secretly I was hoping to hit 365#, but it wasn't to be, I 355# just seemed too heavy to even budge. Maybe I was fatigued by that point.

Anyway, I'm always nervous, doing dead lifts, I've put out my back a couple of times in the past, but in the last year, even going heavy, I haven't had a single issue.  I think it's time to stop being so nervous.  I am strong.
