    PR'd my deadlift today at 385 lbs. My strategy now is to work on my form and then try for a PR again in about a month or so. I want to hit 400 lbs this year.

    Checkout Mark Ripptoes Starting Strength if you haven't already. Just the basic tips he discussed regarding deadlifts helped tremendously

    Started CrossFit in late May of last year. Since then, I've lost 40lbs - don't know if that's a PR in itself, but I'm proud of it. I've also been able to get 2 strict PU's and have bumped my 5RM Squat up to 345. I really drank the koolaid!

    hello everyone.. finally found this group.. Ive been crossfitting for about 3+ yrs.. Love it. couldn't go back to global gym if they gave it to me for free.. but recently I pr my strict press to 145# been about over a yr since Ive hit 135. Could get over that. def knew it was a weakness. So work on alot of shoulder mobility and finally got over the 135. felt great .

    Last night we went for our 5 rep max on the back squat and I got up to 275 which is a new PR for me. I was pretty pleased.

    I restarted today after a couple of months off with injury, then flu, then too much work, then festivities... :s
    Started with
    Warm up: 400m Row
    Stretch/Moblilise/Tekkers
    WOD:
    40 minute AMRAP (scaled):
    Burpees x 10
    30 Walking Lunge Steps
    Nine Pull ups (jump up)
    Deadlifts 20kg x 10 (restart small - it was enough)
    30 Double Unders (I did single unders with 2 jumps - can do 8 in a row now)
    Russian KB Swings 6kg x 10
    (BENDER)

    Oh my... reminded that burpees are the cruellest, along with lunges ;)
    Any tips about how I scaled? I completed 5+39

    Really pleased with the *kitten* kicking I gave Cindy this morning: last score 10 rounds 11 reps, today 16 rounds 5 reps. Same scaling, so a significant improvement. What a difference 7 kgs bodyweight makes to these engine type WODs!

    For the second time ever I tried pull ups. First time I used a blue band and needed help. This time I did two on the blue band, no dramas, no help. Then tried and almost got one on a red band. Think I need to get used to the movement as much as needing strength. Very stoked, pull ups were the thing I watched others do with envy.

    great job Emma. These are my main GOAT focus for the year too. I want to have a few dead-hang pull ups by my birthday in April.
