I managed 105 lbs for my last two lifts, which was a PR. Most of the emphasis today was spent on technique, particularly engaging my active shoulders at the jerk phase of the lift. This was huge insight, and the lifts became appreciably more manageable as I worked to thrust my shoulders way up as I entered the squatting/jerk position.
I'm a 41 year old male (6' 1", 195 lbs) who joined Oakville's Canadian CrossFit in September 2008; and I started working out at Burlington's CrossFit Connection in September 2009. Aside from some jogging and yoga I've never really been athletic; weight-training and gymnastics are completely new to me. CrossFit is an opportunity for me to increase my fitness and push myself to new levels.
This blog is where I record the details of my workouts, track my progress and note my PRs.
