Welcome to my blog, everybody! Which, at this point, is one person! :) That's ok, though ... if anything, this blog will serve as an online record of my CrossFit and fitness accomplishments and failures (since failures are just as important as accomplishments).
Today, I get to discuss accomplishments!! Last night, I set a new 5 rep max deadlift of 145lbs -- about 125% body weight. That's up from 115 at the beginning of November. I definitely felt the form more last night than in my November 5R max session. Last night, I realized that it's not about the arms at all. So, when I started to stand up and my arms said "NOOOOOOOO, you can't lift this weight!" I told them to shut up and kept pushing through my legs. Yeah, good stuff.
Of course, being a novice, I know this learning curve is going to hit a brick wall soon. So, I'll enjoy this large strides while I can!
