I just got back from a week in the North Carolina mountains on Thursday and couldn’t wait to get back in the gym.  My dad said I needed the week off but talked him into letting me workout on Friday.  We did our deadlift workout.  All I missed was the squat workout on Monday and the Bench workout on Tuesday.  I think the time off was good for me because I had lots of fun in the mountains and I couldn’t wait to get back to the gym.  I even had my best three rep deadlift ever.  I pulled 160 for 3 easy reps.  I feel great and fully ready to start getting ready for the October meet in Orlando.  My goal is to be the first 11 year old girl to deadlift over 200 pounds,  squat over 150, and bench 100.  That would be an awesome total in the 97 pound class.  It will take lots of work but I’m ready.  Maybe dad was right about me needing the time off because I can’t wait to lift.  Just don’t tell him I said that.
