I only have a couple minutes before guests arrive, but I wanted to get these up.
We're a week out, and my recent (and all time) maxes are:
Bench press: 135 lbs (I feel like this is low, relative to my size.)
Squat: 185 lbs (Decent, and I like that it is proportionate to my deadlift.)
Deadlift: 255 lbs.
Obviously I wish all of them were higher, but that's where we are going into my meet. In a week we find out how I respond on competition day.
(Also, the trainers are (in the kindest way) trying to prep me for a loss to this other girl at the gym. "She just has a lifting body," they say. "She's much shorter, so everything is easier for her. Shorter distances to lift, shorter levers to haul about. She's just build for it."
I can't believe that after all those years of being too short and stocky for tkd, I am now too tall and willowy for lifting. BOOOO!!!)
