That is a 8.5 PR for DLx2.
A couple of things that really clicked for me today:
1: Being organized before I even start me lift
2: Even when the bar feels like it’s not moving keep going. Today, especially the last two sets, the bar felt heavy and hard to get off the ground I just kept pulling and it went up easy….even more so on my second rep.
I received two compliments from two coaches that I admire, good day for me!
Thank you Michelle and Jason.
November 26th, 2013 - Chelsea
Worked up to 245#x2. Was frustrated at first as I have lifted much more then this for 2, but this is still more then i have lifted in a long time. There was also no rounding in my back and a few things clicked today as well. May not celebrate but consider it a sign of good things to come. Thanks Jay and Michelle, some great cues today.

Higher reps, lower weight to work on technique, so did 5-7 reps and worked to 120
Focus on weight on heels, tight core, flat back and pushing hips through, which incidentally I thought I was doing until Jason told me otherwise (thanks Jay). The look on my face must have been priceless when I realized what he was talking about 😉
Felt good today thanks Jason and Michelle, good to know that I’m also doing some things right.
Carol way to go on lifting 200! And Nancy first time doing this lift at 230!!!!!!!!!! Wow!

13# over May 14 and 8# over my last 1RM! Last one was ugly and I don’t think I would have attempted it if Michelle and Audra hadn’t been watching. thanks for the encouragement you two! And thanks for watching my last two sets Michelle!
November 26th, 2013 - Maria T.
Worked up to 195.
Still need to work on pushing into floor & sitting back rather than pulling (I really like this way of teaching the deadlift, made me change my way of tackling this lift). Felt good today, still had more in me, but without all the technique right didn’t want to go any heavier. Thanks for the fierce coaching Michelle. Jason, your words of lifting wisdom are always appreciated.

thanks for pointers Jason
thanks for encouragement and strategy for next time Michelle(don’t put 175 on. Have someone else load the bar and don’t know weight)
160/170/180/190/195/200
Was super pumped to hit the 200 mark. Found the coaching tips today so helpful – Michelle saying to keep back on your heels, and Jason’s comment about not freaking out and dropping the bar when you realize how heavy it feels. Was seeing stars by the end but all in all a good lifting day.

A. power snatch tech up to 4 sets of 3 @ 95#…fast (I believe the word was ‘peppy’) 3rd pull
B . BTN snatch grip PP for 3’s (can’t remember weight)…timing and lockout…

Nice job of the deadlifts Sandy!!

Theory A: Last night’s WB’s wrecked me for deadlifts.
Theory B: I need to practice the new DL set up routine at moderate weights before going heavy.

A 500 pound deadlift seems to be a mental roadblock for me. I always over think it and end up psyching myself out.
Great job, Kimmer. Very inspiring.
Thanks Jason, Aly, Ben, Kimmer and Colin.

Up to 175. First heavy deadlift since hurting my back in January. 175 felt good but didn’t want to push any further.
