CrossFit WOD: Deadlifts 'n burpees

After quite the weekend of not-so-good eating (thank you Saint Valentine), I ramped up my workout this afternoon with two WODs. The first was deadlifts in reps of 3-3-3-3-3.  My reps were as follows:

275-295-315-325-345 lbs.  And at the end, I did one rep of 385, just for fun.

This is the most I've ever deadlifted. Mostly because I never tried to go higher up, and also because I'm 6'3" and it's tough for me. But I find this amazing because I've actually increased my strength while losing a bit of muscle mass and losing fat. I love this and I will keep doing this...

After the deadlifts, I did the burpee workout I talked about on Saturday.

AMRAP (as many reps as possible) of burpees in 15 minutes.  I did 204 burpees in 15 minutes. Not bad, but I know I can do better. My legs were shot from the deads so that didn't help.

Here are the results from our box:
