Yes - that's very good. As in, seriously? 640 added, or total? And what surface? I don't know what the Prowler weight is, but I've only been able to push - I don't remember, but it wasn't much - on a rubberized mat.
Well, I was told the sled weighs 100lbs and I had 540 lbs on it (12 45 lb plates) so my trainer marked 640. It was on kind of an astroturf strip in our gym. 30 feet long. He also said the sled feet had gotten messed up so it had lost much of its "slide" so I am hoping I can do even more when it is fixed! ;-)
Made it to 730lbs today!
Boom! Pushed 1002.5! (Threw that little plate on top to say I was over 1000. Lol) ... and it kinda sucked but I made it!5 -

No way! Lol - I can't deadlift or squat for crap yet and pushing the sled once at that weight knocked me out for hours! :-)
But at least I can say I did it once!0 -
255 lbs x 20 on the bench this week.1

315x10 deadlift with no belt or straps just good old hook grip and chalk. Felt pretty good after that. More impressed by that than my sloppy 1rm.0

Local crossfit competition, the event was: 5 power cleans @ 135, 50 double unders on the jump rope, and 15 pullups; as many rounds as possible in 8 minutes, followed by 5 minutes to hit a one rep max clean. My previous max on the clean was 185, hit 225.3

Seated military press below the ears 225x4 after 185,205 for 10. 30 reps with 225 on flat bench, 345 lbs on the incline bench. All this past month. 2017 hoping for 405 flat and 350 incline bench. Oh yeah also hit a set of 10 seated dumbell presses with 100 pounders. I think heavy pullovers and heavy tricep work has helped.4

lame, but.... the L Hold on two plates. As a former gymnast and weight lifter, i want to be able to do more and more bodyweight holds which are considered "advanced". For example, i would love to be able to do an iron cross, but i've been told this takes in the 3-4 year range to accomplish.
Presuming that's like Iron X? Yeah that's a long one to master but a great aim!!
I can do a human flag, but not with feet apart.
I would say an iron cross is more difficult than an iron x as you use an unstable surface (rings which want to move right out from underneath you). Here's an awesome video of someone learning one!

oh yeah, PS i can barely do anything on the rings. Because, like is said, they literally want to go right out from underneath you with everything you do.
In an iron x your body is parallel to the floor, so just slightly different.0 -

Well my upper body strength is kinda whack. I am finally at a 40 lb. shoulder press (two 20 lb. dumbbells) and I never go below a 15 lb. dumbbell for any upper body work out, but I probably won't increase anything but the reps from here on out (for shoulders and arms at least...back is another story)
I lat pull 85 lbs. and row 105 lbs. but again those aren't very impressive.
I'm most proud of my 405 lb. "front" stance leg press (12 reps!) and a 3x3 Smith squat of 250 lbs. (3x1 of 260 lbs. also!) Again, probably not gonna go much higher weight wise, but I'll improve the reps and perfect the form. Eventually I'd love to get to a 250 lb. BB squat, but right now I'm at 160 lb. because I never have a spotter (and I have a reconstructed foot so I'm too nervous to go at it alone since my balance is wonky)1
