Crossfit Total - "Elizabeth"

Back squat 135, 225, 175, 315, 340, 350(Fail, got to parallel, up an inch and stalled out, I think I can do it!)Shoulder Press, 115, 135, 145,(took a long time) 150(Fail, got to forehead and got stuck, very frustrating)
Deadlift,135x5, 225, 315, 375,(PR!) 385 (Big PR!)

Crossfit Total-870 (20lb PR!)

With the snow day we moved some WODs around which is good because we came off a rest day for the total instead of doing it after "Elizabeth" like scheduled.  We started that WOD about 30 minutes after we finnished the total.  I am mostly happy with deadlift.  Ron took the Pic of me on my way up, Thanks man.  I stopped at 385 but I feel I can do more.  I always do.  I thinks my legs are a little stronger but my back has improved more than anything else with my body and that is why this lift has gotten so much better for me.  I guess I am happy with squat but I would have really liked to have got 350.  Don't know what happened I was on my way up and just stalled out.  I really think I can do this if I just focus and get my head right.  I don't know what my problem is with Shoulder Press.  I actually went down in weight.  I am just going to keep working on it.

Sept. 11, 2009
squat =325
shoulder press = 145
Deadlift= 335
Total=805
I know I can do more in dead lift but this was my second WOD in a row and I tried to do too much to start with.

"Elizabeth"

21-15-9 reps of:
Clean 135 pounds
Ring dips


Time 8:54
After we did it I went back and looked at old post and I did this one in 8:04 last time.  I commented before about not walking away from the bar.  I wish I would have read the old post before I did this one because I am disapointed with my time now.  The total may have taken a little out of me but I should have done better than fifty seconds of my PR.  I know I have to do my homework before the WOD to get a better score.  I just don't do it sometimes and then I get mad at myself.
