This workout was courtesy CrossFit Confluence. For the first part of the workout, we were given 12 minutes to get a deadlift one rep max. I avoid heavy deadlifts due to my back, so I went relatively easy and stopped at 275lbs. I went all out for the second half of the workout and was able to complete a round per minute using a 185lb deadlift. I pushed myself harder than usual since I was sharing equipment with another person and had I stopped to catch my breath, I would probably have to let him pass me. My glutes and hamstrings are going to be screaming at me tomorrow.
