  2. had fun today, esp doing “annie” with erik and mike! 9:07 for that.

    front squats:155 175 185 195 200×2

    jump rope was 86 singles, meh.

  6. FSQ(45x7x2; 65×5; 85×5)

    95×5, 100×5, 105×5, 110×5(PR), 115×5(PR)

    Pathetic attempt at Annie14 something.

    DUs left me in the middle and it was just awful

    little bit of MU skill work.

  7. Thanks Gabrus! I’ll have to get you that photo of your pink shoes. I’m holding it hostage until I get those graphic novels from you…

    BTW, I just read Kingdom Come which was kick ass. Along with Black Orchid (with a great swamp thing tie in) and a few of the Death books.

  9. Front Squats:185×5, 205×5, 225×5(pr), 245×2*, 245×2 (Should have tried for 235, but I was greedy…)

    Double Unders:50 first round, 51 second round.

    Have not done 5×5 for a while and did not feel strong today. Weight felt pretty heavy@245 coming out of the rack. 5×3’s were strong last month where I topped out at 245×3(pr) and 255×2 (so close to 3…)

    Fun lifting with you Malcolm, once you find a working rack position you’ll be killing these.

    Was looking through the site to compare performance in the Deadlift/Pushup wod from last time. Lucked out that it was on 1.18.09. Became very excited when I saw that my time dropped from 3:24 to 2:31!

    CrossFit is awesome!

  12. I suck at front squatting. I need to figure out the rack. Or maybe I am just a sissy and it is supposed to hurt that much.

    135X5, 155X5, 175X2, 155X2. I then did some zombie front squats with just the bar and then 115X5 twice.

    On the exercises I hate I will have to now officially list front squats. Is there something sick about me that I want to do the things I hate the most?

  13. ugh. today was not my day. it just felt so heavy!

    70, 80, 85, 75, 75

    i did a few partial sets that david made me redo in full. these are just the full sets. my form was falling apart at 85, so i scaled back. i looked back in my journal and saw that i lifted 100lbs when i did 3×5 FS back in march. how did i do that???

  14. Fsq 5×5: 135, 155, 165, 175, 185

    Great work, Adam! Thanks for your help, Jeremy!

    Squats are feeling SOOO much better than they used to, so I’ll concur that CF is indeed AWESOME.

    David McG., caught a glimpse of your strict pullups, very inspiring. You’re serious about getting better at this shit and I appreciate that.

  15. front squat: 95×5, 105×5, 115×5, 120×5, 125×2 failed on the third, 125×3 failed on the fourth… grr. Felt very heavy at the end and left me quivery and starving. Can’t wait to try it again – thanks for the pointers everyone, I will try them all out next time.

  16. David McG — 9:35 to 6:04? That’s fantastic!

    In other news, wish I could clean some of this weight I can front squat…

    And shall continue my quest for bodyweight snatch.
