CrossFit Total
Back Squat: 200
After warming up to 175, I took a successful first attempt at 200 which was my previous PR. I wanted to at least hit that and go up from there. I attempted 205 and got stuck on the way back up, tried again and completely failed. I was glad Brad was there to spot me because I had a bad experience once where I got stuck and dumped the weight forward over my neck and head at the bottom of the squat. Ever since then I've had a fear of that happening so I feel much more confident when I have a spotter.
Shoulder Press: 77
My last total I had 75. My first attempt I hit 75 no problem so I went for 80, but failed. I was going to attempt 80 again but decided to drop it down to 77 where I was more confident I could succeed and still beat my last weight.
Deadlift: 225
This is the lift I was hoping to see the most improvement in. My deadlift PR is 230. I warmed up to 205 and took my first attempt at 225. My previous Total deadlift was a complete failure (wasn't even able to lift 200) so I wanted to be confident before I attempted to PR. This plan would probably have worked, but...I made a pretty big error that I paid for!
Right before my attempt I had a client come in to sign up and pay for a class. By the time I got back to my bar I was thinking I should probably drop the weight and warm up again. But I didn't. I pulled the weight, immediately felt a strain in my back, and knew this would be my last lift for the day. I should have warmed up again!
TOTAL: 502
This total was an improvement over my last one but still short of my PR of 505.
