tabata thursday and 1RM deadlift

i've been working on thrusters on my own at 24 hour fitness but it didn't help me much today. we did 15 rounds of 20/10 65lb thrusters. The lactic acid burn was unbearable. i wasn't out of breath and my legs felt just fine but the burn in my shoulders was almost too much to take. On the positive note, i got a PR on my deadlift. My dead lift is now 2.62 x body weight. i'd love to get to 3x bodyweight. i have a lot of dead(fat) weight i could stand to loose. when i used to be lean i was around 165. i'd be thrilled to get to a lean 170. In the past, i always wanted big muscles. Now that i'm becoming interested in triathlons, i'm on a mission to be stronger at a lighter body weight. i think everything will be lot more fun if i'm not lugging around dead weight that isn't part of the engine.
