    Damn that's good, if you can do 21 rounds of Cindy, doing 5-10-15 of pull ups, push ups and squats, in 20 minutes you should might be able to do Murph in under 35 minutes

    4.5 months into CrossFit and I scored my first DU last week. Not stringing any together yet, but hopefully by the end of the summer.

    PR'd a jerk at 85 lbs!
    Started with 10 @ 45lbs (warm up),
    then 8 @ 65 lbs
    then 5 @ 75 lbs
    then 3 @ 80 lbs,
    and finished with 3 @ 85 (X 2 sets of this!).

    I even have a vid that my trainer took of me (sorry kinda sh!tty quality):
    http://youtu.be/wYjv9KSZwcc

    Weighing in at 120lbs, this is about 70% of my body weight that I put over my head.... oh what a feeling! This was my first time ever trying to max out this lift, so I was feeling a bit nervous, but I think it went really well overall! Next time I think I will get to 95 lbs but probably a 1RM instead of 3RM though. :)

    Finally broke 100 on my power snatch! Today I did 103# which is a 10# PR for me. It was a little ugly but it went up and that's what counts :)

    Did 1/2 a hand stand push up this morning - quite an achievement for someone who had a real fear of doing a handstand :blushing:

    This is my second test week, I've been doing crossfit since March but had the entire month of May off as I was on a motorcycle trip....
    Crossfit total:
    Back squat 135 (up 40 lbs from 90)
    Strict press 75 (up 10 lbs from 65)
    Deadlift 195 (Down??? from 210) but my legs were jello from taking FOREVER to find my 1RM squat :-( << has this ever happened to anybody? I think it's weird because I normally do 5 reps of 190 in the strength portion of our training program UGH!!!

    Fran time 10:57 (higher than previous time but I went from doing ring rows to doing pull ups with the green band)... I actually wanted to cry - I hate doing things I suck at. I NEED to get better at pullups - these are SUCH a struggle for me.

    Oly total:
    Snatch 85 (up from 65 lbs)
    Clean and Jerk 105 (up from 85 lbs)

    Today is Cindy.... again with the pullups eeek!
    Slow progress is still progress....

    It happened this Tuesday! Only 2 at a time, but it's coming along.

    As for lifts, we've been doing one 1RM a week. Last week it was Back Squat (163 lbs) and this week Front Squat (155), that's +30 and +32 lbs respectively for those PRs. I also PR'd my deadlift this week at 205 lbs (6x3), but it wasn't a 1RM.

    I tackled Fran for the first time today! She literally kicked my butt! Almost 10 hours later and I'm exhausted! But I finished! Bands on pullups and just the 30# bar, but I finished in 9:38 without puking!

    My toes actually tapped the bar today. A T2B? Me? I was shocked. Only 1 in each set of 5 (3 rounds), but I'm still happy.
