Deadlift PB - 235kg , 517lbs

After having had a pretty easy week last week I stepped it up with a Squat PB last night - 210kg and then tonight was power cleans and deadlifts. This will be guaranteed to wear me out for a day or two!

10 mins erg - 2585m - 1:56.0 - r25 - ending heart rate 162

Hang Cleans 
8 x 60kg

Power Cleans
10 x 60kg
4 x 80kg
100kg - fail - PB is 105kg. This bar tonight has ball bearings which I didn't like, prefer a rigid bar.

Deadlifts
5 x 1 x 150kg
3 x 1 x 180kg
190kg - fail - left hand grip is still not strong enough manage this weight
3 x 190kg (with straps)

1 x 235kg / 517lbs - NEW PB! 

Very pleased with that. I went straight from 190kg to a new PB weight just to see if I had it in me. It was very tough all the way up and I had to battle to lock out at the top but got there and held it for about 5 seconds and then lowered it with control to the floor.

5 x wide grip chins - recent PB (used to do 10 when javelin thrower, and the 'flag' for about 5 seconds - ah the old days....!)

1k erg cool down - 2:05 pace r23 nice and easy to relax the body

Summary

Stronger than ever before. Need to translate it to the indoor rowing machine sprint stroke now for that 300m World Record attempt in April.
