First we did a DL and Press workout and Alex got up to 405. Pipe dream for me. Tiffany came over to me and asked me a question about the lift and I was advising her to make sure she raised her shoulders with her hips and told her how it was not the load that would hurt her it was an improper lift that would hurt her. I told her to imagine there was a load on the bar she could not lift and she went and attempted it, keeping good solid form. As an example I had 245 on the bar and she had gotten up to 215 and topped out in her workout so I had her set up on my bar intending for her to strain against the bar, not lift it, but also not hurt herself. So she gets all set up, pulls, and the bar moves. Holy cow, she can lift that. I gave her some positional cues, got her set up again and she pops 245 up. You should have seen her smile. An instant 30 lb PR. "Can I do that again?" she asked me. I said, "NO. We need to add weight." So I put a couple 5's on to bring the weight to 245 and it took a couple tries but she got it...in all a 40 lb PR. After we all deadlifted and then did our presses we did Double Play which is Baseline twice and after that we did 20 reps of front squats. We're all smoked.
