Just plain amazing this morning. Keeping with the addage that in order to get stronger you should lift more than you can lift I snuck 205 on the bar for both Beth and Michelle. Now snuck is not really all that appropriate since the bar load is right there in front of them to look at but I just built up the bars and said, "There. Lift that." They did. They bellyached only minimally but did say repeatedly, "That's heavy." Yes, yes it is. But they both lifted it and beat their previous best deadlifts by more than 50 lbs. Amazing. As you can see Lance did 286, 140 and 44 in 9:35, I did 11:42 with 263, 135 and 44. Lance may be stronger but I was slower. Surely that means something. Nothing good but something. While most of Cleaned the Dead Badger, Susan Killed Bob.
