165 lb NEW DEADLIFT PR

Goes to show how taking it easy for 2 cycles can help build strength. I also ate more last night, which fueled me immensely this morning. I haven't been eating a lot for the past week because of the horrendous heat, so I didn't have a lot of energy for the gym.  Here was my routine today:

3 mile outdoor run in the EARLY morning
Rested an hour before my strength routine -
Single Leg Deadlift:  3x6x18lb kettlebell in each hand
Romanian Deadlift: 3 sets of warmup; 4x4x145; 1x165
Butt Blaster: 2x8x60
Cool down: 15 min elliptical

A trainer at the gym was watching me deadlift and said I had "good genetics" for strength. Nice compliment! I take that to mean that I either ACTUALLY HAVE good genetics OR I am a consistent gym goer so I can at least work past my bad genetics.
