   Why is it that CF Total comes up when I cannot come?!

   I just discovered CrossFit Center City (Philly) is down the street from my hotel… no excuse to not drop in!

   No PR’s on individual lifts, but the total is a new PR.

     I just double-checked my records, and the 208 backsquat is a PR. Previous PR was 203 on last month’s CF Total.

   BS: 260 PR (+5)
   SP: 112 (-3 from PR; match usual CFT)
   DL: 330 (-10 from PR; +20 from last CFT)

   TOTAL = 702 PR (+15)

   Totally shocked I could PR on the back squat considering how ridiculously sore I am from Fran and Elizabeth.

     Since I make no sense, I have discovered I only PR consistently when cold. Therefore, I did not warm up before I did CFT today.

     This strategy only seemed to work for my first lift. So, this afternoon when I came into work, I decided to try for a 345 deadlift. Since I was cold, it went up.

     new deadlift: 345 PR

     Damon convinced me to try the shoulder press as well. So, I tried my old PR, 115. It went up easy. Tried 117 – PR. Tried 120 – PR. Failed on 122, but it did go up part of the way, so I think if I was fresh I could get it.

     new shoulder press: 120 PR

     Again, I do not recommend this for ANYONE. I have found that it works for me, but it goes against what I know as a coach and a trainer.

     If I count these afternoon lifts as part of my CFT (which is bending the rules)…

     BS: 260
     SP: 120
     DL: 345

     TOTAL = 725

       I thought it was funny when Isabella commented on your yelling when you got the Press PR

   Somehow I was able to PR even after the ridiculously long break I took.

   BS: 92 (=previous PR)
   SP: 49 (PR!)
   DL: 121 (not my best)

   Total: 262 (PR!)

       Thanks – I started to get over my fear of dropping fast
       on the BS. Also I know I can do more on DL, but had been at gym
       for almost 2 hours. Looking forward to when these come up again.

       Zeke is right on my tail

   Had a great total. Matched my BS from last total, 286. Made sure to go parallel as I noted. Then made 135 for sP. The real effort came on DL where I lifted 398. Thats an 18lb PR.

   Total= 816 (58 lb PR)

    BS: 308, 330, 352 x2F
    SP: 154, 159 x2F
    DL: 401, 416, 433 (+3PR), 443 x2F, 440 F
    Total: 917 (-26PR)

    Folded during squats so I still need to work on keeping chest up. I may have started off a little too heavy with SPs…my shoulders were definitely shot after Fran and Elizabeth. I’m not sure that I was locked in during each movement like I should have been. A lot of room to grow.

    Well, looking at all of these, I feel weak but I was totally excited about my lifts : ) My goal was to get over 300.

    BS 104 PR (previous 86)
    Press 65 PR (previous 59)
    DL 163 PR (previous 154)

    Total = 332 YAY! I did this two months ago…total = 289.

    BS: 121-126f-123 (previous was 130)
    Press: 55-60-65f (previous was the same at 60)
    DL: 165-175pr-185pr-190pr-200!pr
    Total: 383

    My BS felt all wrong-not enough depth, bar felt in the wrong place on my back. Laura explained that on Press my elbows were too far out…I think next time I can get that 65 with some changes to form.

    I am super pumped about my DL pr! I have always thought it would be cool to reach into the 200′s with my DL but I really can’t believe it actually happened! I felt pretty strong on the DL and thanks to some prodding, I just kept increasing the weight and to my surprise I could actually lift it! Yay

    bs-103,117.5,132
    sp-59,66f,64f
    dl-154,176,198
    total-389

    can’t figure out why I can’t lift more on the sp for my body weight. Either all my strength typically comes from my core or I have some form problems. Could have lifted more on the DL and BS but getting a baseline.
