KETTLEBELLGUY

CrossFit at 6AM. More snow during the night but roads were passable.

Was apprehensive about this morning because I did not want to lose my 405 lb deadlift PR. I knew that I was going to get knocked out of the top three ranking for the box but I still wanted to hold onto what I had.

I was pleased to get 5 pounds on my max, up to 410 lbs. Eric had a huge increase of 55 pounds to 380 and Joe C. set the bar higher at 465 pounds.

As everyone continues to get stronger and we continue to grow in membership at the box it’s clear that we are going to see many numbers over the 400 pound mark in the future.

Although I don’t want to limit my current potential my real long term goal is to lift 400+ at 60, 70 and 80. My primary focus is not on getting bigger numbers but doing what I can to hold on to what I have for as long as I can. What’s your focus? What number are you going for?

Eating—Tracking starts Monday. I am really afraid to get on the scales but anxious to have a tracking plan.

What hurts today—Second night of not sleeping. My hips and legs kept me up most of the night. Get up to pee myself and getting up twice to let Heidi the dog out screwed any other chance of getting some rest. The pain seems to fade by 3-4 in the morning but then it is almost time to get up. I thought that the lack of sleep might impact my deadlift this morning (and it probably did) but I was still happy with my performance.

One Year Ago—Just me this morning at Crossfit at 6A. Brian coached and Jerry did the workout along with me.

Another self defense class this evening. I am having a great time with this. I you want to try it out for free I can get you a pass.
