CrossFit Central WoD: Kill Those Legs

Posted on March 10, 2010 by

One of the more brutal WoDs on the legs that I can remember in quite some time — the combination of walking lunges straight into heavy dead lifts was hella-masochistic. I’m still feeling it in my thighs the next Continue reading →

Posted on June 4, 2009 by

I was pretty disappointed as my goal is to get a 1000 lb CFT. I might find an extra 10 lbs or so in the shoulder press, and up to 25-30 lbs more in the dead lift, but the back squat is really where I need to work to find that last 45 lbs. Continue reading →

Posted on April 14, 2009 by

I thought I was going to be able to manage the weight just fine — I can shoulder press 200 lbs and dead lift 425 lbs. But it was my poor hang power clean technique (and poor knee) that did me in… Continue reading →
