PR on deadlift by 10 lbs, matched PR on back squat and press
thought I’d do a little better on the press--have to make sure
to keep the bar going up in a straight line--pushed the bar
forward in my 2 failed attempts
first Crossfit total 6 months ago: 685
Back squat 225
Press 135
Deadlift 325
need to work on my back squat — almost no improvement over the past 6 months
I think we made too big of a jump on the deadlift on our last lift, we should have gone for 395 instead of 405. 405 felt like it was bolted to the floor.
Press (0.9X BW) -- 125,135,145f (135 went up easy so I got too greedy; should have gone with 140)
Deadlift (2.23X BW) -- 305,325,335 (+30# PR)
My long-term (2-3 year) 1RM goals have been for a 2X body weight back squat, 1X body weight press, and 2.5X body weight deadlift. Today makes me believe that I’m in striking distance, maybe even in 2010!
My total was 455. I am very pleased.
PR on the back squat at 165, PR on the deadlift at 210 and 80 for the press. I think I have been at 80 FOREVER. Ugh. Great job 9am-ers and thanks for all your help coach Tara!

Testimonials
I have played sports all my life and always tried to keep myself in good physical condition in spite of injuries and too many birthdays! Five years ago I hurt my back at 55 years old and my physical conditioning went down hill. I finally found a fantastic Chiropractor and he helped to eliminate my back pain. I then needed to get into shape and I knew I needed an all around conditioning program with great instruction to assure that I would not hurt myself by pacing my work outs. I found it with David Picardy and North Shore CrossFit.

275/200/345 820 Total
note: 200 ghd situps will hurt you very very badly 2 days after you do them…sneezing brings on a whole new meaning to PAIN
Nice job this morning Cas with a strong showing in the squat…showing me up that is.
Thanks Danny for being you….see you tomorrow!

305/145/365=815 Total, Previous CF Total 785
Back squat was a PR by 40#
Press and Deadlift both 10# under my PR’s
note: Losing to Ben by 5# after setting a 40# PR will hurt you emotionally. Somebody please tell me how to raise my press weight.
Good Job today Ben and thanks again Danny

Matched Lew on every lift this morning, Total=835
I think we made too big of a jump on the deadlift on our last lift, we should have gone for 395 instead of 405. 405 felt like it was bolted to the floor.
