Tuesday, 11.15.11

Today I only had time for the Strength WOD:

Deadlift
3-3-3-3-3

175x3, 185x3, 195x3, 205x2, 205x3

Big thanks to Erica for sticking around and lifting with me.  I tried a different weight belt which seemed to help.

On my failed set, there were a couple of things going on.  First, I wasn't thinking when I set up and forgot to use a mixed grip which threw me off because I could barely hold the bar.  Second, I had just put on a leather lifting belt for the lift and it was cutting into my stomach and I was unable to breathe!  By the time I got to the 3rd rep, I was so unfocused that I wasn't able to even lift the weight off the ground and had to just walk away and reset.
