I pick things up and put them down

Yes, I just quoted a goofy commercial lol!

Today was probably one of my favorite Crossfit WODs ever.  Lifting!!!!!

We worked on back squats
deadlifts
and overhead press.
Rather, finding out one rep max for them.

I upper my max on two of the three.  Upped my back squats from 175lbs to an even 200lbs.  And I think I could have gone a little heavier, but we only had 20mins and I wanted to move on.

Deadlifts went from 225 to 230lbs.  Not a big jump, but I went up, and that's what counts.

Overhead press, my nemesis.   One time, I managed to press 105lbs.  I think all the planets were in alinement, and somehow gravity was reduced by 5% that day, cause I've never really gotten close to that again.  Until today when I did 100lbs.  But I couldn't get 105lbs up.   Maybe had I done shoulder press first, maybe had it not been hot in the building ( there is no air conditioning).  However, I'm still pretty happy to even get close.

I ate way to much junk over the holiday weekend.  That needs to end!  Today eats were good.  And tomorrows will be too.

 Speaking of tomorrow, I'm betting it will be heavy in cardio, cause well, we just did my all weights, which I love, so of course we'll have to do cardio, which I'm not a big fan of.  But I need it.
