My deadlift PR :)

A little brag but I am still smiling about it.
Did 253 last night! I know it doesn't sound like much but I'm 56, female, and 5 ft 2 (well, in heels). I'm the smallest in my group and I lift the heaviest. If only I was a little stronger with the bench press but anyway.

Thanks everybody!
Actually, I was lifting 243, warming up to >250 and I thought it was kind of heavy. Then we realized we'd added wrong and I'd just made it to 253. So, kind of anticlimatic, but I did it.Where's the video?
Really tired today. Not sore, just tired. And craving serious protein. Is it lunchtime yet?

Being "only 5'2" " is actually a good thing when it comes to lifts like the deadlift. Quite simply, you don't have to lift the bar as far as somebody like me (5'9") does.
That said, breaking 250 is a rockin' pull. Kudos!0 -
Plus, I have long arms. I am pretty much built for this. My goal is 300+ by August.Being "only 5'2" " is actually a good thing when it comes to lifts like the deadlift. Quite simply, you don't have to lift the bar as far as somebody like me (5'9") does.
