We've shifted focus a bit from pure cardio to more strength-based training. As a result, we do more "pick up something heavy, then try and pick up something heavier" sessions.
I'm pretty tall, but I've never had a lot of upper body strength. Part of the training regieme involves deadlifts, which I never did much of.
On Friday, I managed three sets of 10 reps at 60kg (olympic bar plus two 20kg plates). I could probably do more as a single lift, but the objective is to do sets of ten, which makes sense to me.
Never mind that one of the skinny females then used that combination as her starting weight! I'll still take my new pb, and keep working on improving it (hopefully without damaging my knees... )
