300

Deadlifted singles today. Kept "proper" grip up to 255#, then reversed one hand from there on up. On the last couple reps I was certainly the loudest person in the gym.

Up by 20# at a time to 255, then
265
275
285
290 (old pr)
295
300 (f)
300!

Then, 5 rds for time:
5 deadlift (155#)
10 burpees
Time: 4:24
(For reference, this took 6:47 with #225 on 11/14, but I don't think I'd done much but warm up to it.)

Finished with a little workout with my dad, who does Mark Versteegen's "Core Performance" workout. It seemed pretty great, as far as workouts from a book go . . . one-legged Romanian deadlifts, split squats, a lot of dumbbell and plate work that stresses balance, flexibility. I've also been ending each workout with HSPU negatives. And getting at least 100 strict push-ups in every day. I feel pretty strong at push-ups. HSPUs, not so much.

Sleep, still very poor with much coughing. Doctor tomorrow.
