Jim vs. Push-ups, Deadlifts

Whole lotta strength work today. Started out with some push-ups: 14-19-14-14, then maxing out at 13 before restarting and shoving my way to 19 in one go. I maxed out at 12 last week with those numbers, and it took me a second and third attempt to hit 19. So, slight improvement.

And then, 5×3 deadlifts.

225 x 3
245 x 3
265 x 3
285 x 3
305 x 3

That last set’s a new 3RM, and It honestly felt a lot better than the two previous sets. It really felt like everything came together for those last three lifts, and that just rocked.
