Two hours and a shower later. Still have the gift from setting a new PR HBBS. #crossfit #squat
I get the PR, sometimes you just have to let out a little scream to get that weight up.
I fail a PR attempt at Low Bar
300x3 HBBS thanks The Outlaw Way and Lift Big Eat Big for pushing me to new gains this summer. HBBS is up over 30 pounds since April.
Coming in off a couple days outside of the gym I rocked the row today. Best time for 1k at 3:36 was a nice number for me. The death by Burpees that followed was not so fun but I made it through. Post WOD was strength sets, Wendler for Strict Shoulder and Juggernaut for squats. Pictures of my morning.
Today I was a failure.
Well not really, but I did fail at hitting a back squat max that I have previously done. Today I went in at the 4pm class to do the workout, today was a 1600M run for benchmark for the upcoming Paleo Challenge, since I haven’t run a mile since I was about 17 I didn’t expect much. But I pulled it off in 9:22 and I must say I’m pretty happy with that. Then came the fail, after spotting some of the others in the gym because I was the guy that was going to need about 100 pounds more than anyone else at that spot I took my place under the bar, and preceeded to lose it during a 365# squat. A number that I have done before, but with the run, and the previous workouts this week I just couldn’t do. So there you have it, I’m a failure, and you know what sometimes you just have to be okay with it.
Daily pictures:
Ready to take on the squat.
I’m feeling confident here, I’ve already done this weight before.
Or not, failed this one.
But hey I did get a new shirt, the new design came in at the box today, picked one up, it’s a Large, that’s right no X in the size at all. Pretty proud to wear this size.
Project for the night is slow cooking some chicken, this will be a base for a soup I’m making later this week.
