that would be cool, however, the other day I was at the gym and this guy about my height did an L-sit for almost 30 seconds longer than mine! I was humiliated hahaha well not really b/c my legs are huge and his were pretty average! :yikes: did I just say that?! how rude! :smiley_ev

I need to go back to work on those anyway :stir:

You'll knock those L-sits dead, Keith! Heck, if I can hold up these old tree-trunks of mine, you can surely hold those huge, sparkly legs of yours up for record time! Go get 'em! :D

Got my posts/replies backwards, I guess. Thanks for the props, Keith. So, if technique is my friend, why does it always play so hard to get? :rofl:. Really, it is encouraging when something just falls right into place.

Pretty excited about the cert. Looking forward to learning more about my body's functional capabilities.

[I][B]090410 FRIDAY

[/B]Short on time today - - Quick shot at the Main Page WOD (CrossFit Total).

[B]Warm-up: Versa Climber[/B] 5:00 / 70 SPM approx. / 10 - 12" steps
[B]Pull-ups - Pronated grip: 6 X 1 set [/B](dead hang, full extension).

[B]WOD: CrossFit Total.

Shoulder Press:
WU: PVC X 10, 45# X 10, 95# X 5
Working: [COLOR=Navy]135# X 1[/COLOR], 145# X F, 140# X F [/B](almost - couldn't lock out). Think I took too big a jump from 135. Think I'd have had 140 if I hadn't gone to 145 first!

[B]Back Squat: [/B](Did these barefoot)
[B]WU: PVC X 10, 95# X 10, 135# X 5
Working: 185# X 2, [COLOR=Red]205# X 2 - PR!
[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=Red][COLOR=Black]These felt more solid than ever before. Reps at 185 (old PR) felt easy, first rep at 205 felt shaky and form started to go. Really concentrated for rep #2 and drove hard from heels. This one was difficult!

[B]Dead Lift: [/B](Also barefoot)
[B]WU: PVC X 10, 45# X 10, 135# X 10, 185# X 5
Working: 225# X 5, 275# X 2, [COLOR=Red]315 X 1 - PR! [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=Red][COLOR=Black]Felt good and solid!

[B]CFT = [COLOR=Red]655 = +35# PR.[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=Red][COLOR=Black] Last CFT = 620 090318.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

Do you know that it was only back in October 2008 that you PR'd your deadlift at 255?

Amazing improvement! :highfive:
