So I used my working max of 300lbs for my deadlift today. And we had to do the following: 1×3 @ 70%1×3 @ 80%1×3+ @ 90% I did 210, 235, and then 275. I ended up getting 5 reps at 275, which is kind of unheard of! My old 1RM is 335, but I feel…

THIS was a good WOD! I was excited about this one. We started off with our Wendler cycle of pause squats, front and back. I screwed all my weights up, and I didn’t give myself the proper set up. I really wanted to just squat with a couple of the other guys, but they were…
I feel like I’ve gotten a groove back. I’ve missed it so! I’ve been saying it forever, but it really clicked recently. When you feel like shit, go work out. You’ll feel better. I promise. Especially if you’re in a crappy mood, or you’ve had a crappy day, or someone upset you or shit happened…
Never miss a Monday! Thanks Pete for sharing those words. Since I read them on Facebook a few weeks back, I have made it a point to not miss a Monday (and it’s also the reason why I did Fran almost a month ago, stupid Mondays.. regretfully.) But, here we are, another Monday. I got…
Kalsu is my official anniversary WOD at CFTC. I have done really great, and I have done really poorly at it. I have now done it 4 times, and I’m hoping I’m in better shape next year when I have to do it again. This was my first year RXing the weight, but I got…
Bring a Friend Days are like surprises. We never know what we’re going to get, but I was assured early on it was a good one by Russ. He didn’t let me down. First we did a 500m row for time, max effort. I’ve never done this before, I don’t think. I hopped on and…
Just keep going. Get dressed, drink your coffee, do what you need to go, and go to the damn gym. That kept me going all last week. I was proud of my 4 days! I haven’t done that in a long time, and it felt amazing. Tuesday’s WOD was:Mary20 min amrap5 HSPU10 Pistols (5 per…
You say hang cleans, power cleans and front squats, and I’m there! Especially for a WOD. Those 3 movements are music to my ears! Then you throw in the 1000m row buy in, and you just pretend to not hear that part. Because holy fuck, 1000m row before a bunch of weightlifting is ridiculous. Luckily,…
Back to the gym! A friend once said, never miss a Monday, so I went. overhead squat 3×10 – I worked with 85lbs for 10 reps. Good enough for me. then 21 ohs (135/95) or (115/75)3 rope climb15 ohs3 rope climb9 ohs3 rope climb I RXed everything except I did 1 rope climb instead of…
