Today’s workout or WOD was not a normal workout. For me, it was a Benchmark day. A day that I could measure where I am, and more importantly, where I want to go.
Fitness for me is about fun.. and relaxation, well relaxation after intense physical action. But you need to have some kind of plan, a rough organized path to follow.
I’m still a fan of a “kaotic” approach to health but even in chaos you will find an underlying consistency that can lead to change.
Today we found our 1 Rep Max in:
- Back Squat
- Military Press
- Deadlift
I have never known what my 1 Rep Max is in any of these lifts. I do now!
- Back Squat 245Lbs
- Military Press 125Lbs
- Deadlift 245Lbs
My “CrossFit Total” is 615. This puts me in the Novice category for this test or measurement.
I want to get into the Intermediate category of this WOD(?) Two ways to do this :
- Loose an insane amount of weight
- Make a plan to gain the strength needed to get into the intermediate category.
I need to get 722 Lbs moved.
Plan –
- Practice Squats and more specifically, depth of my squats.
- Practice Overhead Press – Use Kettlebells combined with Barbells. Chest Up & elbows forward.
- Deadlift more. The more you deadlift, the better you’ll become. Try to deadlift twice a week: once light, once heavy.
