Just Pitiful

Tuesday, March 3;

Today's effort was pitiful. Surgery or no surgery. My performance in both rowing and deadlifts should not be so weak. Two of my most challenged movements. I really like the deadlift, and I used to (years ago) think I was good at it. Not so. Not so at all. It's suppossed to be an easy lift. Moving a bar loaded with weight a short distance from the floor to around your hips. For some reason, I just do not get the movement. I can get up to about 170 or so and I just can't lift any heavier. It's extremely frustrating to see EVERY other woman crush that number. I just wish I could figure out what I am doing wrong and fix it.

Check out these VERY impressive efforts. What I really love seeing is how close everyone keeps the bar to their body. It kisses their shins, clears the knees and then pulls up their shorts. I wonder if that's where I go wrong?? The bar shoots out?? Maybe.. but check these out for real!



We've already discusses my weaknesses in rowing. I won't revisit.
