    I was only able to do HSPU negatives (lowering to the floor)..
    today I started out with 3 abmats under my head and EASILY kipped to full lock out.
    I took one abmat out - and was able to lock out 2 HSPU's (kipping) - almost three. I got up, but couldn't lock out my elbows on the third.

    :happy: :happy: I'm so psyched about this!!!:happy: :happy:

    Awesome, you will be hitting 10 in no time!!

    Because nobody else in my life cares about PBs: today, I maxed my squat cleans - 37.5kg!

    that's stellar! I'm still in the learning phase of the clean movement, so kudos to you! :smokin:

    I did 6 sets 3 reps each of ring dips and kipping pull ups for the first time today. It feels great when the light bulb goes off and you get a new exercise.

    I set a new PR in my squat clean today! Could have even gone heavier if I wasn't so burned out because we built up for awhile to get to it. Once I get the notion of getting-my-elbows-through-makes-things-easier in my head I know my numbers will jump even more

    I made it through my first class today! This is definitely a victory for me because for the past week I kept coming up with excuses as to why I couldn't go that day.

    We also did Annie recently and I was able to get 21 DUs in the first set. Then I was back to 3 and 4 with the odd 9 or 10. Annie was also my first Rx'd workout.

    3rm deadlifts today. I just PRed my 3rm deadlift on Monday at the gym, and when I told the coach what I did (70kg), he said, "Today, you'll do 75kg). I thought "no way" but I did! TWO deadlift PRs in one week and by 5kg. Amazing.

    Started crossfit about a month ago, so most of my lifts have been PRs and I hadn't tried them before. The last week or so I PRd my back squat (175) and my deadlift (205). I also got my first toe to bar after being stuck doing "as far up as I can get my feet to bar". I am LOVING crossfit!

    Awesome job!! Congratulations!

    Not a REAL victory for me, but kinda for me today. The WOD today was a 15 min AMRAP, and I had a goal set in my head, and was thinking I would be stoked if I hit that number. I felt surprisingly strong and easily past my goal rounds and even finished another round after the time finished, and while the coach didn't count it because it was after the time elapsed I was so happy I did that well and had the drive to finish a round even through I didn't have to. Small victory but proof changes are a-happening!

    I completed my first RX WOD today. Was a great feeling.
    3 RFT
    400 Meter run
    15 Sumo deadlift high pull (115#)
    15 wall ball (20#)
    15 abmat sit ups

    Was slower than I would have liked at 22:06, but happy I could finish it at the RX standard.

    This is awesome!! Congrats!!


    Not really a CrossFit victory, but a personal victory: I just published my book about overcoming hardship to achieve your goals. I'm very nervous but also very excited about signing/selling it at my annual conference next week. Just like in CrossFit, I will push through my fears to make this book signing a success!

    When I first started CF (about 7 months ago), I couldn't get below parallel in my squats (total lack of mobility/flexibility in the hips). Today I PR'd my back squat AND got below parallel!!!!! I was able to BS my body weight today :happy: :happy: :happy:

    my victory today was my 3rd RX'd WOD ever (just starting my 7th month of Crossfit).

    After doing 100 pushups, we did AMRAP 8mins 5 deadlift (85lbs), 10 squats, and 15 double unders
    I only completed 3 rounds + deadlifts, squats, and 4 double unders
    If I had done singles I would have rocked it but I was determined to do those double unders.

    I say "only" because it was the lowest on the board so far today. If I had done singles I would have rocked but but I was determined to get those double unders done. 1 at a time.

    and after this morning a new goal for summer is to be able to string 10+ du's together.

    In August I'm competing in a competition and I'm doing scaled, so today's workout is the scaled workout number 3 of the competition. It was 15 power cleans at 95lbs 30 sit ups 30 24 inch box jumps 15 jumping pull ups 60 single unders 15 kbs 15 burpees and 15 OH lunges with 25lb I finished in 9:15. I think I might be able to come in first at the competition.
