diane
“Diane”: 21-15-9 (10 min max) Deadlifts 225/155 HSPUs Time: 9:06, 155lbs/wall V ups another benchmark workout. thought i was going to go lighter on the DL weight but toughed it out at 155. those last few were killer though, haha. wall V ups were solid, could have done HSPUs with 2.5 abmats but i decided i should just work on my shoulder strength so i can get down to using 2 abmats...
