Yeah, I meant shoulder press. Hadn't tried it in a while. Crossfit is helping my max on everything go up.
Good job. That's a LOT. I'm about 85lbs behind you. What's your back squat?0 -

We haven't done those for a max at crossfit yet. I got 425 at the gym a mid 2012. I think if I can get my form right on the front squat I can do better. Did a double with 315 a couple of weeks ago. I really need to focus on the cardio side a little more though. Thats where I'm weak. The strength is coming back from power lifting years ago. I'm pretty sure I should be able to get 475-500 on the back squat now.0 -
I met Angie today. Killer.
Still on ring rows
I have the worst upper body strength. Struggled on pushups a bit, but busted out the situps and squats and finished in 24:25 - SUPER HAPPY with this and look forward to the next time she comes around and I'll be on the pull up bar.
To add to it, we're in the middle of the 100 day burpee challenge, so 42 burpees after that to make sure we were dead. Thanks, Coach.0 -

Lol, I hate burpees so much. I think I hate those worse than any other exercise.0 -
I just started lifting with crossfit. My back squat is 325 but I'm still learning form. Nice job. Burped BLOW. We did a burpee/toes to bar ladder today 21/15/9. I need to get faster....that took me 8 min0

Agree, but I usually do well with them, not after this though for sure lol.
The 100 day challenge is 50 burpees - cutoff 5 mins. Today I busted out my best time of 4:12 though....I always think I have to compete with all these law enforcement guys. My competitive nature is going to be the end of me LOL0 -

Why can't you do the mile? A sub 8min 2k is pretty quick0 -
Front squat - 75lbs
I can't believe how far I've come in a month. A month ago I could do an air squat without shaking. I had to modify an air squat! Today? I did air squats unassisted and added a bunch of weight.0 -
10 strict pull ups
100 straight pushups
5k run under 25 min.

I'm not there yet. My daughter has picked up running @ college and is running 7 min. miles up to 7 miles. Shamed the old man to stepping it up. Nice profile pic, not much hockey down here in Texas.0 -

I rowed 2k because I pulled a hamstring and couldn't run the mile.0 -
I'd love to be able to do a strict pull up, for some reason I can't and it's so frustrating.
I'd love to be able to do 50 DU without hitting my toes/shins and having to start over.
I've mastered the 20 & 24 inch boxes and would love to hit 30.0 -
My personal milestone for this week - just making it through this week! Coaches went 100s crazy for the week and every WOD was 100 of multiple things, it was pretty Epic and I did pretty well on all of them. I felt really good after all this

Wow, that is mighty! A big change to be proud of0 -

I don't have the power lifting background you do and was pretty hamstring weary M was lunges, T back squats, W clean and jerk. Yesterday was run a mile, 2k row, 200 double unders and some other stuff...legs weren't happy campers but my time was pretty competitive for our box0 -

You mentioned you're 5'10" right? I bet you'll hit that 30" box soon if its a goal. I'm jealous of anything like 50 DUs in a row. My shins scream bloody murder at 200 -

Yep! the height works in my favor for the jumping stuff but no so much on the other stuff. lol I was also a high jumper in HS.0 -
I'm not tall...between 5'8" and 5'9 and 219lbs. My max box jump is 38" and anything taller looks kind of intimidating. We've got a couple guys who did 49" this week....not this kid.0

I was able to strict press 200lbs yesterday. I'm happy about that.0

I got over my fear of 20 inch box jumps last week. I hurt myself doing box jumps earlier last year, and had a mental block about them... until last week. Yay!
I totally understand about having a mental block with box jumps!0 -

Did 7 sets of 3 strict reps on push press last night. I did 185,195,205,215,225 for a single,195,185,185. They were doing front squats for 7 sets of 3 but my hamstring isn't ready. Instructor said do push press. I thought I did pretty good. Would like to be able to do my body weight of 240 for a strict rep.0

Congrats on RX. I would love to be able to RX everything, thats my short term goal. Still struggling with Kiplings ,DU and OHP(shoulder issues).0 -
Thanks!
Yesterday we did deadlift one max reps for everyone to find their number. Some girls did way more than mine, but I was pleased with my 193# OMR. Some other females had more and less of course - one girl had a 235# - totally impressed. Did any of you girls do this yet?
Today was introduced to "Helen" - 14:06 - felt draggy. UGH - still stuck on ring rows for majority of pullups, but did 6 pullups with a band today - 6 more than ever before so i'll take it LOL.
What you guys got lately?0
