Deadlifts - New PR!

Yesterday, our workout included 5 sets of 3 reps of deadlifts.  Last week, I finally achieved a new PR of 160 so today's plan was to work up to about 3 reps of 155 pounds.  When I got to 155, I felt like I still had more in me so I tried 160 and got three reps of that too.  Holy crap!  I switched to single reps after that and finished off with a new PR of 175!!!!!!!  Woo hooo!  I think I could even have gone to 185 if I weren't so tired and in a rush to get to a meeting.  Soon, I'll try again and see how high I can go.  I'm so close to my 200 pound goal!

Today, we did 5 sets of 3 reps of push presses.  I did something really weird to my neck (aggrivated an old problem) and stopped temporarily.  I finished off at one rep of 70 pounds, which is a PR for push presses - 5 pounds over last time.  Then, due to my neck pain, I decided not to do the WOD we had planned and choose to see how many air squats I can do in 20 minutes, which was 512 of them.  I could have kept going after that.  Now I'm wondering how many I can do in total with unlimited time.
