9/21 WOD

Today marks my six month anniversary of following the CrossFit main page WODs!!! Very cool. I have seen tremendous gains over the past six months, some lows, but mostly highs. Arguably I'm in the best overall shape of my life (and I've always been pretty athletic). Not bad with my 42nd birthday less than a month away. I'm not a fast cyclist anymore, but strength wise I'm definitely stronger and I can even run without pain for a 10K in a not too bad PR of 47:58. I've gotten a little boring with my conversations as I have a one track mind... Okay, maybe two but CF sure seems to be a driving force. Thanks CF for a great six months. I've learned a ton and still have a long ways to go but I am thankful that I discovered you.

Shoulder press 1-1-1-1-1 reps
Push press 3-3-3-3-3 reps
Push Jerk 5-5-5-5-5 reps

Yay, more overhead stuff. But I need it, and need it badly. Moving stuff overhead is another weak area for me.

Here is what I did last time on 7/5/09:

105-110-115-120-125(F)
135-140-145-150(2)-150
115-125-135-140(4)-140

And tonight:

114-119-124(PR)-126.5(F)-124
136-143.5-148.5-153.5(PR)-158.5(PR - nearly crashed and burned)
119-133-143(PR)-148(PR)-150.5(PR - form suffered)

So big PR night tonight. Man, that was freakin' HARD! Shoulder press still isn't great. My shoulders and wrists are trashed. On my last set of Push Jerks, I lost it on the first one and ditched the weights in a semi-controlled descent. Weird, started walking away and felt woozy. Re-gathered myself and got through it. Man I'm toast. Good night though. Happy... :)
