So today at the gym I noticed the workout said Deadlifts...which excited me because I have been wanting to work on my form. About 3 weeks ago for the Paleo challenge we had to do body weight (BW) deadlifts, which absolutely killed my back because my technique was so off AND because the weight was too heavy! But I was forced to Rx it because that is what I did the other workouts as. (Rx = prescribed/recommended)
Anyway, like I said, that was about 3 weeks ago, I think my weight for BW deadlift then was 115 (I may have been doing 112.5, can't remember). But TODAY, I totally deadlifted 120 lbs! With great form (thanks to Blue) AND without curving my back like I was a few weeks ago. I totally can do more, I just know it. I'm so excited that I've gotten stronger and have finally learned how to properly deadlift. It's more so a push than a lift and less stress should be on your back.
So, yeah, I love PRs. Why don't more people do this kind of stuff? It doesn't even have to be weight lifting...anything in life...running, cooking, reading, writing, work,....just push yourself to the next level and see what you can handle, mentally, physically and beyond. Totally made my week.
