Well friends, I hit 265 lbs. on my deadlift, but the 275 just would not leave the ground.  I think I MAYBE got it a 1/2 inch off ground the 2nd try, but it just wouldn't budge.  BUT it gives me something to work towards after my next program. :)  Either way, I added 15 #'s to my one rep max, so yay!

 

I also did a few presses with the 44 lb., a few turkish get ups with the 35 lb., and a set of double front squats with the 53's.  They are…

Sheesh :-P.  I then started on my right side and my back seized.  I made it 30 seconds in on that side and 6 presses before I had to…
