"When one has made a decision...even if it will be very difficult to succeed by advancing straight ahead, it will not do to think about going at it in a long roundabout way. One's heart may slacken, he may miss his chance, and by and large there will be no success. The Way...is one of immediacy, and it is best to dash in headlong"

Monday: Crossfit Total

Was a little beat up from Heavy Grace on Sunday, so just did some bodyweight exercises at the gym--a little running, double unders, box jumps.

I also did a little running Monday morning.

Monday Workout, 6:00p @ CFC:

1st Crossfit Total (from January)
Back Squat: #250 (tied PR)
Press: #145 (-#5 PR)
Deadlift: #350 (+#35 PR)

Total: #745

Monday's CFT:
Back Squat: #280 (+#30 PR)
Press: #140 (-#5 from Jan, -#10 PR)
Deadlift: #380 (+#30 PR)

Total: #800 (+#55 PR)

Pretty happy with Monday's performance. A lot of hard work on the back squat finally paid off. Press has been stuck around #140-#150 for a number of months now, so just need to work on it. The deadlift PR was accidental. Pulled #315 for my first set which was pretty easy, and Bryce told me to go for +#5 PR to #355. I got it up, but felt lopsided and way more than #355. Realized afterwards that we had left an extra #25 plate on one side. Not the best PR but I got it, need to double (and triple) check next time.

Started my work on front squats this morning, the improvement list never ends...
