I got a new personal best in Deadlifts today, what makes it kind of interesting is that I almost didn't even make it into my CrossFit Class today because my knee has really been sore, yesterday we did a bunch of box jumps and it set off my knee pretty bad, I couldn't even take any anti-inflammatories because I was having a blood  test done today so there was no dulling the pain for me.

After doing the best I could to warm up my knee we started off with Deadlifts and my partner just kept putting on the weight, I figured it was easier to just do them than unload the bar each time and somehow I pumped out a set of two reps at 363 pounds (45 pound bar, 4x45 pound weights, 2x44 pound weights, 2x25 pound weights). I'm not going to lie, it was hard and my knee is letting me know that perhaps I should have taken it a bit easier :( Guess I will rest legs for a few days now...
