6.28.13- Hulking out!

Sorry to have not updated with this workout over the weekend, but I was celebrating Pride and winning in poker (not a bad combination.)

In any case, Fridays workout was pretty stellar. The key component to the workout was a session working up to (hopefully) our 1 rep maximum on the clean and jerk lift. Now, previously, my maximum on that lift was 135 pounds, not terrible but not great either. As it happened, I had some kind of breakthrough on Friday and got all the way up to 170 pounds, a 35 pound personal record!

This means that between April 5 and June 28, a little less than 2 months, I upped my one rep max on this lift by 25.9%. Hulking out!

As a matter of fact, I hulked out so much that (for the first time) I got more in a lift than Dr. Jake, one of the crossfit regulars and a big hunk of a man.

Look at that winning smile. I'd want him in my boy band!
