"CrossFit Total"
Back squat, 1 rep
Shoulder Press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep
Post total to comments.
Eh, a good and bad day. I hit 230 again on the squat which is 5 lbs more than the last total but something I hit that max during the overhead squat, front squat, back squat workout. I also hit 140 on the shoulder press but there may have been a very slight push press. It's hard to explode on a max shoulder press without thinking there may have been a push in there. IF so, it was definitely a small one.
The deadlift is where I fot into trouble. I was feeling frisky and tried to deadlift 375 (25 pounds more than my previous max). I failed, twice and pretty much lost all my energy in the attempt because I then failed at 370, 365, and 360. I didn't even try 350 but I did do 315 twice.
Anyway, I'm just going to count the increase in squat total. So,
Last Crossfit Total:
Back Squat: 225
Shoulder Press: 135 (push press on 140)
Deadlift: 350
Total: 710
Today's Crossfit Total:
Back Squat: 230
Shoulder Press: 135 (small push press on 140, failed 145)
Deadlift: 350 (failed twice on 375 and once on 370)
Total: 715

As I said in recent posts of mine - when you are new at going heavy, PRs are easy to come by (and sometimes are huge percent increases - my DL went from 225 to 285 in as many tries.) I know that the improvement curve will start to level off at some point. We have to forge on.
I am saying this as much to myself as I am to you. I can quickly get discouraged if I stop improving fast enough. Your CFT went up!
Splint that's some serious work there. Nice job. Chuck Norris agrees. Don't get down about the DL's. There are lots of things that can affect that and you can't beat yourself up because you didn't PR today. Keep the intensity high and the PR's will come. Chuck Norris agrees with me again. :)
