We've been testing our one-reps over the past few weeks at my box and I am so freakin' excited about the strength gains I have made!! My newly tested one-reps thus far are:
Back Squat - 215lbs
Clean - 120lbs
Front Squat - 160lbs
We've been testing one lift each week and I can't wait to see what next week brings!!!0 -

I'm new to this group but I have been doing Crossfit for a year and some months now. I'm glad there's a group I can really relate on here. There's no community like the crossfit community!
PR'ed on my front Squat 315lbsx1
P.S. Feel free to add me0 -
I don't know if this is technically a "victory" but in yesterday's WOD I made a mistake and actually went 10 lbs over the RX weight. Still did well time-wise though. One of my friends said I was subconsciously trying to show off! :glasses:0

^^ At our box, we would call you a 'fire breather' for scaling up a WOD
Nice work! 0 -
Last week I did my first double under!
Next goal: 2 in a row! or a strict pullup.0 -

My victory this week was changing my membership to full time.
I've been going twice a week (sometimes not even that) since I started at the end of May last year. I've been more or less inactive since I hurt my arm/elbow in college (limited range of motion, can't lock it out, etc.). Starting CrossFit was something I wasn't sure to do, but my coaches always helped me scale appropriately to fit me while also challenging me.
It's time to kick it in gear, so this month I signed up for an unlimited sessions membership and made it 4 times this week. I'm still on the bottom of the leaderboard, and I scale EVERYTHING, but that's fine. Each time I'm improving on what I did last time, and that's my goal.0 -
^improving yourself is all that matters. Keep doing that and the rest takes care of itself.0

I've been doing Crossfit for about 6 months. It really works for me because it's different all the time and I can't talk myself out of going since I don't know what I'll be doing when I get there. In the past 2 weeks I've hit some major goals that I'm super proud of.
1. I ran a mile in 17 minutes (I literally used to throw up when I ran a mile)
2. I was able to actually jump on the box for box jumps (a scaled box, but still a box).
3. I found an arm muscle!
I've still got a LONG way to go, but these little victories are what keep me going back!0 -

Great job! Congrats on all three of your victories!0 -
Yesterday AND today I was the only person, male or female, to RX the WODs. And today I was the first girl to finish despite the fact that the WOD involved my nemesis - burpees, and 50 of them!!! Woo!0

Last Friday I got my 1st kipping pull-up where my chin was above the bar. I've been coming into gym just working on kipping swings (just the movement) and I was like let me try and BAM!! I jumped off the bar and thought, 'Wait did i just see the entire gym and almost down to the floor without a bar in my face.' Then I heard my coach yell 'HELL YEAH!!!! I did my happy dance.
And yesterday, I improved my back squat max by 10lbs. I think it was all b/c of the new lifting shoes I got, but i was excited.0 -
My fifth Crossfit workout ever was 100 burpees for time. Took me about 22 minutes and I seriously considered quitting a few times it sucked so bad. Near the end I was dropping down and then standing one foot at a time.
It was back on the schedule again today. Took me 14:23 and there was never a bad rep. Just needed to stop and catch my breath. Started with sets of 10 up to 50 and sets of five from there to the finish.0 -

Wait until you get under 10 minutes for a mile. I usually run at about a 12m/m pace but decided to see how fast I could do a mile a few months into Crossfit and was at about 9:30.
Slow and steady wins the race!0 -
Yesterday I got a new 1RM back squat of 75kg
Today I got a new 1RM deadlift of 80kg! And I think there was more in there. I've just started deploying mixed grip when it gets difficult to lift and what a difference!0
