LYNNE- 5 rounds for max reps.

BW BENCH PRESS
PULLUPS

013009-
BP (105) 47
PU- Red jumping 57

I like this workout. Due to a dumbass moment my first set of benchpress was done at 90 pounds. I was just thinking I got super strong at these until I double checked the plates after pullups. DAMN! Then when I put 105 on the bar it felt heavy.

I think there is a possibility my shoulder played a small role in the fact that I only increased my BP reps by 1 from last time.

I was however pleased with the pullups- I increased my pullup reps by 11 while going down to red bands/jump from last times blue bands/jump.

I tried the red bands on the slightly higher bar that (about 2-2 1/2 weeks ago I was able to finally clear blue/jump) and was able to hit the same height- just below the bar with the red/jump. Once my shoulder heals some I think I will be able to get over in the blues once again.

DEADLIFTS- 7x1 for weight

013109- 255, 305 (failed), 295, 305 (failed), 300 (failed), 300 (failed), 295 (failed)

Deadlift is actually my favorite lift. I don't like the fact that I failed 5 of 7 reps. I really thought I would at least be able to complete the 300 or 305. Last time we did this on the CFT- I got a PR of 315. The 305 mark still seemed pretty easy, but the 315 had a little hitching.

On this one...the 295 didn't feel super heavy, but that extra 5 pounds to get 300 felt like a huge mountain.

I think some of the problem was lifting in the morning. I'm just not really awake and firing for heavy lifting on Saturday mornings. I also think it's possible that my shoulders and mid to upper back were minimally sore from the previous 2 days of workouts.

AS MUCH AS IT KILLS ME I am going to lay off (for 1..maybe 2 weeks) doing anything that will aggravate my shoulder. This is hard for me to do. I will still come in and workout, just modified depending on what the WOD is.
