Had more but bailed when the technique started to choke at 205...don't want to do it if I can't do it right. [Thanks to Croz for leaving me some room to match - do I get to put that on the Member Achievement board? ;O)]. PR'd on the rower @ 1:36.1 (Shout out to Dr. Nick for bringing the heat on my left and Alexis for killing her PR on my right...I didn't have a choice - I HAD to put up!) 6 AM, don't go soft on me! In two weeks, I'll be back and better than ever! (But I might have to consider doing some two-a-days then...the evening crew is pretty awesome too!) [My buddy Miller LOVED it! He'll be back for more for sure.] 5×3 front squats topped out at 185# (two successful sets).

Keep it up. There are alot of good questions on the blog today. Make sure you get with your coaches for the answers. And when you get them please listen and write it down. Quick answer for Croz. Ascending will be fine for beginners. If you have been training for a while (ex: have already established a 1 rep max) then you need to be doing your working sets at a % of 1rm. Ascending will give you marginal results. I assume your goal is to get stronger and more powerful. I would say you did 1 working set at 185# and the rest would be considered warmup. There is a huge difference between a 5x8, 5x5, 5x3, 5x2, 3x3 and singles. Each one elicits a certain adaptation that fits into your overall training. A 3x3x2x2x1 is a totally different workout. Everyone, if you don't know what the NS CrossFit "New World Order" is make sure you ask. You will not be dissapointed. Lots of strong work at the gyms today. Keep it up.
