I've been doing Crossfit at Crossfit Amplitude since the end of April. Here's their website, if you want to check out what some of the classes look like http://crossfitamplitude.com/. If you don't know what the moves are, look them up on youtube.
In tonight's class we were working on personal weight lifting records. We worked with three different moves. I've included videos of the movements to help you see what each thing is if you're not familiar.
Back squat:
Shoulder Press (this video also shows 2 other moves we do in Crossfit):
Tonight, I did 125lbs on the back squat, 75lbs on the shoulder press, and155lbs on the dead lift.
While those weights are probably pansy weights compared to what other people can lift, I think they are pretty damn beasty. I'm proud of myself.
And, I'm only going to get stronger.
I can't even lift that. Well, I have never been to the gym since I was 16, so I guess I don't know, but I'm pretty sure I can't.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say? I like to pick things up and put them down. I'm obviously taking 'roids.
DeleteKeep it up Mrs. Manimal and you be clanging and banging even more beasty weights in no time.
ReplyDeleteThanks, baby! Maybe I'll clang and bang heavier weights than you.. riiiight.
DeleteDamn, I have mad respect for you. I'm way too unmotivated to work out these days, especially such an intense workout.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have really fallen in love with crossfit and what it's doing for me.
