The TOTAL

First time every doing a real CFT with Chris in town, it was nice to have spotters for the back squat. My numbers suck given my BW, but oh well, all I can do is try to improve.

Craig:

SP - 145 (WEAK! My shoulders just aren't strong. When I started CF in January I did 170 or so,
since I hurt my shoulder it hasn't been the same, got some work to do here)
BS - 305 Tied PR! (Tried 310 and failed, Chris had to bail me out)
DL - 385 PR! (Previous was 375, could do more if I did it right. I always come forward!!!!)

Total = 835
Body weight 210 398% of BW

Chris:

SP - 165 Nice press. Strict form, no push, no dip (same with mine, we were strict on this!)
BS - 270 PR!
DL - 365 PR! (Chris only has 300 at home, first time for him trying more than 300!)

Total = 800
Body weight 187.563287 428% of BW

Conclusion: Chris is stronger than I am, pound for pound. the numbers don't lie.

I'd like to see this get up to 900 for me some day. It's a goal.

Cool to see a bunch of PR's. This thing took us an hour total, takes a while! Lots of high fives in there too, and dizzy men.

Here are vids of our DL PRs. Sorry I am so cheesy saying "believe it! believe it! Visualize it!" I guess I'm just a cheese ball.

I tried to DL 400 but had a mental block. There's something about a weight that starts with a 4 that makes me wet my peepee panties.

  1. Nice work.

    Shoulder is still messed up. Nothing upper body for me for a bit. Made up my own WOD today. 21-18-15-12-9-6-3 of 95lb back squat and 12 inch box jumps. Most likely too light on the squats but I was able to do almost the thing with very no rests. Didn't rest longer than 10 seconds at any point. 10:10.

  2. Fletcher and Chris,

    You guys are making the big lifts look easy, awesome work. I think if I were to try to pull a 385lb deadlift without my belt I would be leaving my entrails on the floor and calling an ambulance.

    Way to go guys!
