Fitness - Two-A-Day, Dead Lifts, WOD #1, WOD #2 - 2/3

Focus: Heavy deads, work up two a couple heavy sets of 5
1x5 - 120 KG (264.5#)
1x5 - 150 KG (330.7#)
1x5 - 165 Kg (363.7#)
2x5 - 180 Kg (396.8#)

2 sets of 5 at 180 was a battle for me today. It's the heaviest I've gone for a set of 5 and I took plenty of rest between sets. I had the body tremors going on during the second set.

WOD #1: 3 rounds for time done with a partner
250m row
max push ups while partner rows 250m

Score/Time: 7:24 (time for both partners to row 250m, 3 times), 95 total push ups
Calories burned (including focus & WOD): 858

While partner 1 is rowing, partner 2 is doing as many push ups as possible. Then they switch (running counter on the rower). Time stops when partner 2 has rowed their last 250m.

WOD #2: More rowing
2000m row
rest 5 minutes
2000m row

Score/Time(s): 1st 2k - 6:48, 2nd 2k - 7:21

I've never rowed more than 1000m at a time so this was a huge challenge for me. I seemed to rock through it though. I had a great strategy and was able to push through a few walls during the first go around. I was focused and zoned in.

The second 2k on the other hand, got in my head and broke me down. I was all over the place and my time showed it. Not a bad second effort though. This single workout was probably one of my top 5 least favorite workouts. The 2000m is BRUTAL!
