I have never been an athletic person, nor a particularly healthy person. When becoming healthier became a goal of Daniel's I realized that I very much wanted to join him on that journey. I have some specific obstacles to overcome to realize those goals, but I am loving the results so far, and am excited to see how far I can get with dedication and perseverance. This blog will help me record the Journey so that I can look back to see how far I've come.
Deadlift - 135-145-150 (-12# apparently using a 33# woman's bar. DAMN)
Press 50-55f
Back squat 65-75-80 frep3

When I turned 30, I took stock of myself and was not very impressed with what I had become physically. I resolved to lose weight and get fit, and spent the next year and a half doing just that. In that journey I've discovered Crossfit and Rockclimbing, and am now passionate about them both. This is a log of my progress.

Although I have a good idea of my one-rep max in all the movements, I've never actually done a real CFT before (ie, abiding by the rules, doing the lifts in the right order, etc). So tonight was a good chance to finally get this benchmark.
Back squat: 185 - 205 - 215
Shoulder press: 95 - 105(f) - 100
Deadlift: 285 - 305 - 325
CFT: 640
I totally blew up on the press - my PR on that is 115, and 105 should have gone up easily (100 did). Don't know quite what happened there. The squat was 5 pounds off PR and felt pretty good, the deadlift was 15 pounds off and felt very sketchy - my back was rounded to hell. Considering I haven't spent nearly any effort on limit strength since May, I'm happy with these numbers.

Squat: 135#
Shoulder press: 85#
Deadlift: 200#
Total: 420
Still familiarizing myself with the form on these. The squat in particular felt shaky and I was nervous about overstressing my back, so I would expect these numbers to go up as my confidence in technique improves. Still really disappointing in comparison, however. Lot of work to do...
Went bouldering at Ironworks for the first time yesterday afternoon, since all my belay partners are injured. Did all the V0's and the starts for several V1's. Nervous about climbing too high and falling on the knee, so did a fair amount of downclimbing. Really felt it in the front deltoids, and need to get my callouses back.
