WOD

"CrossFit Total"

Back squat, 1 rep
Shoulder Press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep

Total 660#

Squat 135 - 205 - 225PR
Shoulder Press 95 - 105 - 110(Tied PR)
Deadlift 255 - 305 - 325PR

After a restless night, I woke up this morning thinking I might skip the WOD. I thought, "my luck it'll be the CFT..." and it was. So - I did it anyway! I missed the last CFT and regretted it.

Well, my goal for 300+ deadlift by the end of the summer has been met! I took a different approach on this CFT. I went in higher and stepped the weight up faster. This worked well.

See what I get for taking a rest week! By the way, aren't you feeling a little overtrained. Maybe you need to rest. Remember our muscles grow when we rest. You're getting sleepy, sleepy, your deadlifts make you drowsy.

I will break you! I am aiming for a 400 DL by December...think you can make it?

Seriously splint, I am only aspiring to be able to actually chase your work in all of the bodyweight stuff. Your recent post was amazing.

I am surprised to find that the strength stuff is a talent for me. Back to the volleyball references - I expect explosive work to be good for me and it is. I also would have predicted the metcon scores to be an area of success for me - it isn't. The powerlifts were not even in my radar.

Crossfit not only helps condition me in all of these modalities, it has helped me find where my strngths/weaknesses are.

Almost Finished Resting

15:00 minutes on the rower. Rolled it outside in the sun. 85 degrees. Felt great. Logged 101 calories - my rower doesn't count distance :( I am starting to feel refreshed and ready to jump back into the WODs. I almost did yesterday's - but made myself wait. I'll get in after the next rest day. Oh, I still feel the swim!

AMRAP in 10 minutes 100m sprint (25m out n back x2) 10 situps 10 supermans 5 rds + 50m Did this in the school basket ball/ volleyball gym. I was able to be barefoot on the wooden court. Very comfy. I had a little twinge in my back from carrying this front-loaded fat vest but it's way better than it has been.

AMRAP in 10:00 5 DL @ 215lbs 5 Burpees 5 Squat Cleans @ 105lbs 5 Burpees Total - 4 rounds huffing and puffing. Thanks to Charles for giving me this one on FaceBook. His suggested weights were 300 on the DLs and 185 on the cleans. I knew better than to try that! HA! Warmed up with OHS and pigeons. The OHS stuff with the bar and not PVC - time to be a big boy!
