Do you remember the time I knew a girl from mars? I don’t know if you knew that…
No hang on not that, that’s just my brain filling in the start of a sentence with song lyrics. It does that, I can’t stop it.
Do you remember the times I got a 100kg deadlift PB, then got injured / ran a half marathon / got distracted and lost some strength and each time I had to build back up to 100kg?
Finally this year I got past the 100kg mark for my PB
I worked my way up to a PB of 112.5kg during lockdown (:-D) but 100kg was still a huge mental block for me. It seemed such a milestone, and one that I had been working towards repeatedly so often that the fact that I had beaten it didn’t seem to register.
Until Saturday that is…
On Saturday, I deadlifted 100kg for reps!
5 reps, 3 times to be exact 😀
Ok, to be really exact, 3 x 5 plus one extra so mark could take a picture to prove it. A picture that I had to convince myself not to hate so I could post it…
Yes, despite being super pleased that I can lift 100kg, I am still fixating on the way I look doing it. Well, I am until I give myself a good talking to and look at the weights I am holding for a while!
So where next for my deadlift?
Next goal 120kg, then the world!!

That is … I don’t want to say amazing or fab or wonderful … not because it isn’t all those things but because it is so much more! I don’t think I can even lift my son these days and he’s only about 55kg. Your deadlifting 2 Adams! OMG that’s awesome! 👍💪🏋️♀️ (I know you aren’t lifting over your head but … lifting emoji 😊).

Thank you 😀
I love hearing what the weights I lift equates to in real life! I am quite flabbergasted that I can lift the equivalent of two whole people 😀
