Press
1-1-1-1-1-1-1
Then ...
5 Rounds:
1 Press 90% of 1 RM
2 Strict Pull Up
1 Press 90% of 1 RM
4 Strict Pull Ups
RESULTS
80# press, tried 85# twice and almost made it... but no dice!
7:40 65#press and blue band strict pull-ups (first round red band)
ANALYSIS
The press was good. I was excited to get 80# up with no problem really... definitely stalled at 85#. I have gotten 85# up once before but think it was a lifting fluke. It hasn't happened since! :) I continue to be frustrated with using the blue band for strict pull-ups. I really wanted to use the red band the whole way through but I couldn't get up after the first round. I registered for my Crossfit Cert 1 in Chicago today (May 7-8) and am determined to be band free by then (at least with kipping!!). Those strict pull-ups are so damn challenging and I am SORE today (in all the appropriate "butterfly" areas). The 65# press felt really light...
Sad to miss today's deadlift and back squat WOD :( BUT happy that I have more downtime during the day then I thought this week (Board meeting, blah!) so I can get a workout in Friday and Saturday afternoons. I am in good spirits :)
