Bench and Deadlift, 3/20-3/21

I DIDN'T skip my bench workout this week! Proud of myself. Now I've benched 3 weeks in a row so I should be back on track. I got so mad at myself for always skipping it and it was so hard to get  back into it! I still hate benching though....that's not gonna change

Friday I deadlifted at work with my boss! It was her first full deadlift workout and we had so much fun! She worked up to 105 which was a great start! Here was our entire workout:

Deadlift

10x95, 8x115, 8x125, 6x135, 4x145, 2x155, 1x185 (miss)
Speed Deadlifts

KB Swing (I didn't do these)

Plank

My back was not feeling great for this, which is why I skipped the swings. I got stapled on 185 which should be an easy weight for me, but my back just wasn't having it. Not quite sure what's going on, maybe I just had an off week but I did take a week off deads to try to rest my back. I felt strong up until 185. Below is video of my 145 set. I think Friday deadlifts at work are going to be a regular thing and I'm so excited! I love introducing people to deadlifting because it's my favorite lift, and I think Alyssa has the potential to be great at them! Maybe I'll convince her to compete in the future....hmmmmm :)
