For my birthday this year I decided to go with my Crossfit total since I was long overdue on that. I got a lifetime PR on the back squats. Later, I did a brutal sled and strong man sandbag WOD in the heat.
It was really a surprising day for me today. I attempted my twenty rep back squats at 250 pounds the other day and aborted at one rep. Today after not sleeping super well due to alcohol I made the PR at the 250 pounds and they didnβt even feel that bad.
Itβs nice that I can do movements now that I was never really comfortable with in the past. Today I did dumbbell step ups. Iβm still not thrilled with the Movement but I was able to do them!
I like some hero WODs from Crossfit as benchmarks. Dt was one that I really liked. It was a tough fight the first time I did it. This time I did it with 135 pounds instead of 95 pounds and much more quickly too.
Grace is one of my favorite benchmark WODs. probably because itβs the first one I really tried and did so poorly at very early on in Crossfit up at Mike Jenkinβs Crossfit Gamma. Today we re did it and i got a big PR on it.
