Crossfit total
I deadlifted 315#!!!
Sorry I keep repeating myself, I’m just so excited about it. Goal since I started. :D
30# PR. The first attempt my grip slipped just before lock out. Grip started to go on the 2nd attempt, but some how I made it.
I also got a 95# press (5# PR) and my squat was 185#. :( I went for 215 twice, but I was in my head too much. It would have been a 5# PR.
Oh, and for max...

I was one of two females who did it RXd. The other is one of the coaches. I was also the slowest of the box, but that’s ok. I rarely run these days and just did deadlifts the day before. I’m just glad I finished it.
I’d rather go heavier and take longer.
I ended up tearing my hands a bit and bleeding where my finger and nail meet. One of my legs is also bruised pretty badly....

It was as if I couldn’t focus and my body was not having it today. Before I started lifting I was hoping for 6. During warm up I began thinking just the 3 would be great. So, I’ll take my 4....

With the way bench has been going lately, I wasn’t expecting much.
My return to 5/3/1 is proving (so far) to be a good idea. It has me exhausted. I’m also noticing changes to my thinking. I’ve always been an over thinker, but it seems I have been really bad about it for the past several months. I...

Had to do mixed grip after my warm up. *shrug*
Uh… It feels good to have lifted 220 for 10 because 3, 4 months ago I was trying to get 1+ at this weight and wasn’t doing so good. I’m definitely in a better place than I was though. Eating, sleeping, etc. You know, all that good stuff. :)

This has been on repeat in my head for the past few days. I’m hoping if I hear or see it enough, I’ll start to believe it.

I never really went for a max on front squats. I did 65# x 5 a while back. When I got to 135# I was ready to stop. Loren told me I could easily get 155 and that was enough for me to at least attempt it. 155 was still fairly easy.
I took this week off (err,...

Looking over our old lifting logs. *facepalm* You know, the ones from the beginning? Seems we started around August 2010. But we were kind of lost until January 2011.
It kind of puts my lifting into perspective for me. I’m always the first one to snap at someone for calling me “strong”. I’ve been hearing it since I started lifting (as most women do). People see a chick...

Not much to say.
On 1/28 I got a 20# PR on deadlift. Loren was lifting and *jokingly* told me to try it. Without a warm up and in slippers & pjs, I went for it.
It was 285#. (315# has been my goal since I started lifting. Soon.)
I tried it a...

These questions have no right or wrong answers.
Because sometimes asking the right questions is the answer.
How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
Which is worse, failing or never trying?
If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things…

Tough, but did it.
Was kind of a frustrating day in the gym today. Realizing I have a lot of work on squats again, bench pressing this weight reps/sets is harder than 100# at 5 x 5 was a few months ago…
Blah, blah, blah. Blog it and let it go.

6 + 31 singles. My feet cramped up. It kinda sucked. Then I took my shoes off and dropped a 2.5# plate on a toe.
...
This will never get easier. I will never be strong enough. If anything, it will get harder as time goes on. There is really only two options and neither one seems appropriate.
I keep hoping I’ll wake up one day and it will magically change. That’s crazy, right?
So what do I?

Lolzies. Ok guise, those are NOT anal beads. It is a @myorope. Kinda like a foam roll, but of lacrosse balls.

10 rounds of:
15 deadifts 135/95 15 push ups
25:37
The deadlifts went quickly, those push ups did not.
As soon as I got the email of this WOD, I knew it was a bad idea. All the way until the end, I thought it was a bad idea. But I did it any ways.
My right shoulder was giving me some issue already. On the 2nd round I felt sharp pains in my right arm. This caused me to use my left arm a lot...
