I initially was going to do a 5K row, but I started out WAY too fast and then realised that I didn't even bring any water. So I opted for a 2K row, which I finished in 7:59, a PR by 33 seconds. That is all. - MysteriumFidei
So yesterday I did two of the three exercises of the CrossFit Total (I couldn't do squats since I don't have a rack at home) and just guessed that I could have gotten at least 100 kg on the squats and came up with these numbers:
Squat: 100 kg Shoulder Press: 55 kg Dead Lift: 135.8 kg
I was quite happy with these numbers.
I returned to the gym to-day to do a real CFT and see what my squat really would be. Here is what I got:
Squat: 235 lbs (106.6 kg) Shoulder Press: 120 lbs (54.4 kg) Dead Lift: 295 lbs (133.8 kg)
Not bad, I say. This brings my current CFT score to 650 lbs, or 295 kg. This is a pretty significant improvement since recent attempts, but still nowhere near a PR. What is interesting though is that the last time I had this sort of strength, I weighed on the order of 155 to 160, which means that pound for pound, I'm actually somewhat stronger.
After the CFT, I did the CrossFit pull-up ladder. I finished 18 rounds, plus 14 more pull-ups. Definitely a PR - a huge one. That workout is fun. - MysteriumFidei
