Athlete’s option
Run 5K
OR
Deadlift 5-5-5-5-5
We mapped out a course. Let us know what you think about this…do you like the option?
Kudos to Cara for running in the dark AND while it was raining at 6am.
Shawn took a wrong turn during the run and ended up going waaaay too far…here is a picture of him right before he finished.
Cara…..saw that you ran and was going to give you kudos for taking the high road, but now that I know that you not only ran, but did it in the dark and rain I am even more impressed……way to go!!
Today I did deadlift 5 – 5 – 5 – 5 – 5
225 – 245 – 265 – 295(PR) – 305(PR)
As of today I am a convert to the split grip, the 295 lift kicked my ass, and then I went to the split grip for the first time ever on the 305 lift and it was comparatively a breeze
split grip? is that one palm out one palm in? ‘Alternate’ grip?
Great job Coop!…a 3x BW deadlift is awesome for someone your age!
yeah JD….first time i had ever tried it….was like night and day…..my one rep max with a standard grip had been 330…..so I think I am going to be able to really move my CFT score now. good stuff…..
…….ah Terry……..such a big heart…..and such a wee little tiny brain…. 🙂
***HUGS***
haha! good one Terry!
Thanks for the props guys, but don’t give me too much credit, Deadlifts aren’t my favorite – had that been clean & jerks on the board, I would have been doing those!! 🙂
I think its a good idea to give the option…mainly because I really don’t like running and I can’t seem to motivate myself to do it on my own. However, if you give me an option to get up at 5am, drive 30 minutes to run alone in the dark and the rain, then I’ll do it. Go figure…
Cara nice job!! I have been trying to run in the rain all summer and everytime I get to the box -It STOPs!!! To Jo and Yvette sorry for talking and thanks for giving me something hot to run after!!!LOL I like the path that was marked out for the 5k it was not to confusing…..luckily I was not to far behind Jo and Yvette or U guys would find me walking around the neighborhood looking like Forrest!
Shawn good thing we were not running together!!
I opted to to “Frown” from Monday since I missed it, oh what fun!!!! 23: something!
I was RUUUUUUUNNNNNING..
