Deadlifts: 255-275-285(fail)-285-295(fail)-275-285

For good measure, I did some dumbbell bench press.
45# x 8, 60# x 8, 70# x 6, 80# x 3(fail on 4)

I have lost a lot on this exercise (previous PR was 315), but this coincides with my weight loss as well as the fact that I missed the last deadlifts and CrossFit total during hiking trips.

I have now been working on increasing my protein intake to 170g or more per day for 4 days. I plan to try this for a month (with the theory being that eating more to increase protein should automatically increase my calorie intake). I am going to shoot for 2 - 4 pounds of weight gain per month. If I haven't gained at least 2# by next month, then I will start monitoring calories as well.

285-295-305-315(PR)-325(F)

3 X 8 shoulder press 115#

i tired the 155# HC and PP for "DT", i will have to scale the weight to 135#. i was pretty fresh this morning and could barely bang out more than 2 or 3 of each at that weight.

An extra one for good measure.
