For your weekend, to motivate you and share enthusiasm: Doctor Bravo

She would never ever congratulate herself on anything.  Stanford graduate, PhD, wonderful wife to MurphQuake and award winning scientist.  Classic over achiever but chronically disappointed in her own Gym performance.  Well too bad Chicky-Poo!!!!!!!!!  You crushed your old 1 repetition maximum lift in the Sumo deadlift by 30 lbs.  Or, nearly 18% increase in load.  So, here is what we applied differently from the previous 3 weeks of sessions.  We dead lifted FIRST in the session.  We tested, scaled the load, and then went for the jugular.  Here is the data.

120 lbs. x 5 reps, rest 3:00
135 x 5, rest 2:30
135 x 4, rest 3:30
150 x 4, rest 4:00
160 x 4, rest 5:00
170 x 4, rest 5:20
185 x 1, rest 2:30
200 x 1, DONE.
Volume 4,120 lbs.
Intensity = +30lb, intensity Personal Record
Density 7.26%

Congratulations old friend.
