Rippin’ 455 Pounds

My shoulders are kind of fried from the last couple of days, so no shoulder lifts today. Went in and watched a few people redo 13.5 around 1pm and then worked out.

Warm-up

• 500m Row

Strength

1RM Deadlift

• 10 @ 135#
• 5 @ 225#
• 3 @ 315#
• 2 @ 405#
• 1 @ 435# (PR)
• 1 @ 455# (PR)
• F @ 465#

My warm-up lifts weren’t exactly feeling that great, so I was worried I’d bomb on a PR. But then 435# went up pretty easy so I took the jump to 455#. I wouldn’t say it was anything close to easy, but overall it was a pretty smooth lift for a big PR. So like a dumbass I had to add 10 more pounds and give 465# a try. It wasn’t moving off the ground and I quickly bailed. It’s not like me to even try that after already setting a 30# PR.

Kevin, Michelle, and I then did a conditioning WOD. I have a duathlon next weekend so figure I should probably get in a little running and the Air Dyne will help out my biking.

WOD

• 600m Run
• 750m Row
• 21 cal Air Dyne
• 400m Run
• 500m Row
• 15 cal Air Dyne
• 200m Run
• 250m Row
• 9 cal Air Dyne

Judging by some similar WODs out in Phoenix I figured this would take 15-18 minutes, so it just goes to show how wrong some of our running distances were out there. I finished in 13:57. The Air Dyne seems to be getting easier each time I use it.
