[QUOTE=Pat Quigley;659531]Jay, nice going on your boardwalk PR. Were all those high risers along the boardwalk rehabbed?


Did the CFT today and hit some new highs:

Back Squat: 370 PR
Shoulder Press: 205 PR
Deadlift: 465

Total: 1040 PR.:pepper::pepper::pepper:

This is up by 40 lbs.[/QUOTE]

Pat, Nice job on the PR's, very impressive.

Been slugging the last 4 days. The kids decided to get sick for the 4-day weekend, so I spent most of my time providing succor, tea and sympathy. To add insult to injury my alma mater (GO NOLES!) kept me up late last night to lose in the last 5 seconds to the hated Miami Hurricanes. On a more positive note the wx here is cooling off somewhat; I'm 16 weeks post-op today and closer and closer to full WOD-age.

[B]Diane[/B] - Sincerest condolences and strength to you and your loved ones.

[B]Charlie[/B] - Shout out. I know you're out there, I can hear you skulking.

[B]Stephen[/B] - See new avatar for the Blue Bomberoo. I even had some stickers made up as an homage to the 488th Bomber Squadron, which was Joseph Heller's unit during WWII.

CrossFit Total

Ok, I can't squat too hot yet, just did what I shoulder pressed. However, I did make it down to touch my Abmat on a 12" box (measured 14 1/2") with that 155.

So, press 155, squat 155 and dead 385. Failed on my previous PR of 405.

Still, for late in the day, no dinner, stiff knee/hip, not bad. It will get better.

No Wod today my son had his first 8th grade football game, what fun.
I think his crossfit work these past 4 months has paid off.

A rolling jump squat is- lay on your back swing your legs over your body and then foward onto your feet stand with a jump to follow squat lay on floor repeat
