re: Daily CrossFit Thread: Workouts and other musings..

Excellent timing

I didn't hit a CrossFit workout today, just did ppsa pool season 2 wk1d4 big pump Friday. It was a nice change of pace not being drenched in sweat at the end of the workout.

Strength
Deadlifts
5@65%
4@75%
3@80%
2@85%
1@90%

5@80%

Metcon (taken from Mayhem ig today)
For time:
27 box jump overs 24/20
36 deadlifts 185/125
45/36 cal assault bike

I scaled the deadlifts down to 135 since I went heavy in the strength section. Finished in 10:04

I guess we are the only ones in here, this thread was much more active before COVID ruined everything. Do you strictly follow the chalk programming at the gym you go to?

Pretty much.

I will be dropping in a different gym a few days per week due to driving into BR every day. I don't think they follow a specific program.

I do have some lifting programs I follow every now and then, but I really don't have time to do more than 1 session per day.

Capped. Managed a set of 25 DUs. If I actually practiced them, I would get proficient at them.

I did 30 DL at 315 in a workout today. I’ll be a little tight tomorrow.

The 45 I did at 225 on Monday sucked, especially when I had to sit for 16 hours yesterday to get some project specific stuff completed for work.

Y'all are animals, I don't even want to think about moving that much weight, that many times

My max DL is only 425.

Mine is around 450.
Squat 385-405
Bench 275-300
Strict Press 215

Don't ask me about my max clean or snatch weight. They suck!

Bench 215 ( not even a real man at this point)

The powerlifting style/strength is a huge hinderance when it comes to Olympic lifting. Instead of trying to be precise with technique, you try to muscle everything with little technique. It works up to a certain weight, but you hit a wall at one point, and you have smaller, less stronger people with olympic lifts 20-30% heavier than you.

I hit a 1RM of front squat at 305 last week, the heaviest I have gone in 5-6 years.

I push pressed 255 (5-10 below an all-time PR) from the rack last week, too; right behind 2 dudes who weigh 40-50+ lbs more than me.
