Fitness-10/13-deadlifts, run/sit-up

Tuesday WOD

I was feeling the last couple days of training when I got to the gym today. But I was still excited when I saw deadlifts on the board because I'm getting back into strength mode and am excited to spend more time on the lifts. Today was a 5 x 3 lift aiming to finish about 90% of your 3rm. My sets looked as follows:

-3 x 295#
-3 x 315#
-3 x 365#
-3 x 365#
-3 x 365#

That last set at 365# was harder than it should have been but I still got it. I felt like I would have been good for a set of 3 about 20-30# higher today which was a nice surprise after not hitting a heavy dead in a grip. My best ever 3rm is arond 415#-425# so I'm not too far off. I feel like I'll be back to that level in no time.

After the deads, we did the following wod afap:

-run 800m
-50 x abmat situps
-run 400m
-30 x abmat situps
-run 200m
-20 x abmat situps

time=9:53

My legs were feeling it on the runs, especially after the Padden loop on Sunday, but I still put up a pretty mean pace. The sit-ups were slow, but intentionally. I performed them all unbroken and with near perfect form; maintain lumbar curve through the whole movement, shoulders touch ground each rep, butt stays on ground, touch the shoe laces. It was a good wod to un-load after the deads. My body is feeling it in a good way. I'm taking the day off on Wednesday.
