Week 8 just keeps getting better. I found week 7 actually fairly hard and was expecting to struggle a lot this week.
I did my Monday PRs fairly comfortably but was not looking forward to today's workout. Last week I'd barely managed my deadlifts and had even dropped the bar on my last rep and came away with a hurting back which had compromised my Friday barbell rows.
Today I added the requisite 5Kg (11 pounds) and just went for it. Nailed it with no problems and felt I could have done more. It reminded me of one of Curgeo's posts where he wrote about a changed attitude to weights. They're not a challenge, as such, either you lift it or you don't. It's the straining that counts. I reckon it's better when you do make the lift, though, and not just for the fuller rom.
