Deadlifts

Wednesday mornings are weightlifting days. There's not a lot of different weightlifting training in CrossFit - deadlifts, clean and jerk, snatch, push jerk, push press, press, and squat - so things tend to repeat themselves fairly often. But that's not to say it gets boring or uninteresting. I always have something to work on, whether it's shoulder flexibility with the snatch, or keeping my back straight for the deadlift, which came up again this morning.

When I start getting tired during deadlifting, I tend to lose form and not keep my back straight. Then I feel it for days afterward - my back is very sore. So maintaining correct form is extremely important!

Deadlift workout:

Reps: 1-1-1-1-1

285-315-335-355

I tried 365, but couldn't do it. 355 remains my PR.
