8.11.10 - CrossFit Total

244.0

Strength:
CrossFit Total
Back Squat, 1 rep (#250)
Deadlift, 1 rep (#335)
Press, 1 rep (#135)

Total: 720

No progress in the Deadlift. Last time I PR'd it at #340. This time I made 2 attempts at #345 and failed at both, and then went back and pulled #335 just to do it.

The Press went backwards. Although, to be honest, I'm not sure my #145 press back in June or whenever was really legal. I remember struggling like hell with it, whereas #135 went up relatively smoothly.

My guess is that an 830 score is probably doable in the next six months. For that, I would need to add something like #50 to both the deadlift and the squat and #10 to the press. Those are all very achievable goals so long as I haven't hit a complete wall in linear progression. For the deadlift, I could simply add 2 heavy sets once each week following my squat work. For the press, I could probably get away with parellel 3 X 3, 5 X 3, and 5 X 5 sets once per week. There's no reason the press needs to take a lot of time.

While I'm on the subject of the press, here is some potential programming:

Week 1: 3 X 5 at #120, 2 X 5 at #125
Week 2: 3 X 3 at #125, 2 X 3 at #130
Week 3: 3 X 5 at #125, 2 X 5 at #130
Week 4: 3 X 3 at #130, 2 X 3 at #135
Week 5: 3 X 5 at #130, 2 X 5 at #135
Week 6: 3 X 3 at #135, 2 X 3 at #140
Week 7: 3 X 5 at #135, 2 X 5 at #140
Week 8: Test 1 RM
