Melanie Tuesday: Deadlifts!


There are many things that make me happy today. They are all called deadlifts. I know that sentence really makes no sense but I'm riding high on endorphins baby so don't harsh my mellow. The only thing that makes me sad is it took me nearly 38 years to discover this joy-inducing feat.

Deadlifts
95 x 5
115 x 5 x 2
125 x 4
135 x 3 (old PR)
145 x 4!
155 x 1
165 x 1 (PR)

Benchpress (I like to think of these as CrishPresses for some reason. Probably because of all of the goading).
65 x 5 x 2
75 x 3 x 2

30 GHD sit ups

Great job Mel! Deadlifts are fun. Butt-muscles can be pulled doing them, but that's part of the fun. Crish-presses are excellent as well

Thanks!

What do you mean 38 years? Are you including a past life or something?

Melanie said...

I'll be 38 Sept. 11 big fella.

Insanity. I don't believe you.

Well, you're not alone. I did my Vanderbilt Health Risk Assessment today and it said my age in health years was 32.2.

It said I was one-hundred and twelve
