Wiped out

Yesterday, we spent 3-4 hours skiing.  That evening, I was surprisingly tired.  I didn't notice it as much there because it's not very intense when you have the short slopes that we have available here.  But, we were able to go down so many times, it still added up!  They are closing the skiing for the season in two weeks, so I'm not sure we'll be able to go again.

This morning I completed Fat Loss 2B5 from New Rules of Lifting.  I am WIPED OUT.  Good wiped out, though!  I feel wonderful as usual. I'm only about 10 pounds away from deadlifting my body weight.  If I were going for a one rep max, or something low rep, I think I'd be able to reach my body weight and more.  From this calculator and the other estimations it lists, I should be able to 1RM 160-175#.  I weigh about 150#, so I bet I could do it!

I love how this workout has not one, not two, but three exercises named after former eastern bloc countries!
