Currently Sucking At:

Oly Lifting, Crossfit, Powerlifting, Vegan-ing, and Adulting. The above barbell is one of the many I cannot lift.

5x3 at 115. Coming for that one-plate squat :)) It’ll happen. Also got a new max on the sled push: 5 plates. I think that’s more than 300 pounds!

Today’s WODs

Decided not to go to the crossfit gym today! Instead, I did 5x3 squats at 115, a new 3 RM, and they felt really good. I worked up to a new single PR of 125! I think I could have hit it for a double...next time? 

Weightlifting was shit as usual but I’m pretty resolved to not giving up LOL even if I’m 80 years old still snatching 55 pounds. I’m gonna practice it more tomorrow and keep working on technique and hopefully learn to not keep hitting my pubic bone hahahaha

And I hit 10k steps! Hooray!!!

Here’s a major mood for the day:

Deadlift PR :D

I tried a new deadlift stance, sort of a half-way between conventional and sumo. Hit 215 pounds, at a current body weight aroundddd 95 so that’s awesome! Form was garbágē as I like to say but still...
