2.8.11 - Deadlifts

234.8

Strength:
Deadlifts
5 X 7 (#250)

#250 may be too much for this number of reps.

Food:
2 Tacos
2 small oranges
2 Tacos
Double Americano

Notes:
Yesterday's metcon hit my glutes hard - which makes me think I need to do some heavy lunges more often. In fact, every time we have a metcon with a bunch of lunges in it - I know I'm going to be pulling up the rear. So, again, I need to make this more of a priority going forward. Also, it WILL help me squat more, so it fits in just fine with the current program. An interesting aspect of the lunge is all the different options for load placement - overhead, behind the shoulders, in front of the shoulders - and then of course all the various dumbell or kettlebell placements. Bottom line: I need to start doing more weighted lunges on the regular.
