WOD 4/11/09 AM
Back Squat: 385 CF PR
Shoulder Press: 190 CF PR
Deadlift: 430 CF PR
Total: 1005 PR

I was in the zone this morning, totally psyched and focused all night on the lifts, visualization this morning. I had one more rep left of the 3 in the deadlift, but shut it down due to time and a new CF PR.

The 385 back squat was tough, felt really heavy. Got good and as deep as I could go, slight pause at the bottom, then exploded up. The 350 prior to that felt smooth, almost light. These are a ways off of my previous PR of 585x2, but that too was a looooong time ago.

The 190 felt good. We just did the shoulder killer on Tuesday, which I was only able to get 170, but that was after getting up at 3:30am to catch a flight, travel, and driving all day long.

The 430 was a new CF PR. It was smooth, almost surprised myself when I got to the sticking point for me, which is just under my knees. It kept going and I was able to stand upright, locked it out. Felt awesome. I should have tried for 450, but that will wait for next time.

Happy Easter!
