Lisa's Sumo DL PR

Update 10/09: Finally hit 215!!!

Tonight in preparation for FGBIV on Saturday, I decided to max on Sumo deadlifts. My max deadlift is 195 and I hadn't planned to go beyond that tonight primarily because I have never maxed on Sumo deadlifts before. I typically only do Sumo style when it's called for in a CF W.O.D. and much lighter, for reps. Tonight 185 for 1, 190 for 1, and even 195 for 1 went up fairly easy so, with a little push from Mr. Lupo, I went for 200. About a year ago when my max was 175, I set a goal of hitting 215 which is just over twice my body weight... almost there!!
I want thank my little support group: Chris, Mike, Karen, Mom, Bobby & Rob, they are the lucky recipients of random text messages every time I hit a new PR:)
