Pressing wednesday

weds am. snow rain mix! ahh where is spring?
felt good this am. slept good and got up with a little spark. dig it.

mainsite wod was just what i needed too. figured it would be something fairly heavy seeing how we ran yesterday and the hero wod on monday.

treadmill
run 1.5 miles
first 1/4 was warm up. picked up the pace thru the next mile and a 1/4. having some heel pain in the right foot. need to look into this. thought i had it sorted out but maybe not.

strength warm up
mini-cindyish
3 rounds
5 pull-ups
10 push ups
10 air squats

only did 10 on the air squats as i had a little twinge in the left knee the other day and wanted to give it a little rest.

mainsite wod

shoulder press
3-3-3-3-3-3-3

warm-up
10-45
8-65
6-85
3-95

work sets
115
125
130
135
140
145
150

felt good across the work sets. the 150 was a confidence booster. shows me that i can definitely get higher on my 1 rep max. really need to work the press and felt great doing it this am. little knee/hip drive on the last heavy sets just to get it off the chest but kept it minimal. building some good strength here. dig it!

good day in the gym and really wanted more. thought about trying a 3 rep set at 155/160 but ran out of time. bummer of having to get to work after is that you are always watching the clock. keeps you moving though. gone are the days where i could spend 2 hours at the gym. oh well.

really believe in crossfit. it has definitely changed my fitness philosophy and helped me to transform my fitness. weighed 196 this am and keep getting stronger. probably looking for 185-190 and continued strength gains. think that is a reasonable goal for summer. then we can re-evaluate and see what direction i want to go in.

peace!
