The anticipation was palpable today as the workout of the day was written on the Noon workout whiteboard. Max deadlifts. This would be a fairly normal day except for the fact that Carolyn Thomas was in attendance. A calm confidence was easily seen in her demeaner as she quickly surpassed even the big guys with plate after plate added to her hapless Pendlay bar. Everyone knew exactly what was going to happen. Carolyn was about to break her own deadlift record, that of the heaviest weight lifted by any female Rogue member. We all knew it was going to happen, but by how much was a mystery. 305 came just as easy as 105. So did 315. Then 325. Bill gave the order of one final rep. before the WOD would begin. Carolyn approached 340lbs with the same coolness as always and lifted it to waist level in one easy and perfect deadlift. Stay tuned for the video!
