First Day of New Program

Lifted at Crossfit Silver Spring today, Josh was really nice and is allowing us to lift there in light of our troubles lifting at school. Its not far and its a nice facility.

Besides that, the workout itself was pretty bad. I was tired and couldn't get all the lifts I wanted. The presses are probably too heavy but I think when I do them for a few weeks I will get back into it. The snatches were just bad, and the squats were heavy and I wasn't able to even do 3x3 with 134. I decided to cut the volume and intensity a bit on the way into this program.

Snatch:
-work up to 67 x 3,3,3

Power Clean:
-work up to 83 x 3,3,3

Press:
-work up to 60 x 2
-drop back to 53 x 3,3

Back Squat:
-work up to 134 x 2,1 (instead of 3x3)

Chins:
-work up to 12 x 5,5,5

Situps:
-work up to 12 x 10,10,10

Despite the poor lifting, I am really excited about being able to lift in a real gym.
