DWOD: CrossFit Football Total:

Power clean, 1 rep
Squat, 1 rep
Bench press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep

170 + 265 + 170 + 350 = 955

Today's results were incredible. I set a pr on every lift except bench press. Attempts on power cleans went: 150, 160, 170. Wasn't explosive at 160#, but was really fired up for 170#. Focused on not "donkey-kicking" and, instead, getting vicious extension against the ground. It actually went up without much trouble. Attempts on squat went: 225, 245, 265. Really focused on keeping the bar on the lower back and pressing the knees outward. Bar went up without much of a problem at 265#, which was amazing. Attempts on bench press went: 155, 170, 180(f). Was probably a little gassed at this point, but I can live with 170#. Had absolutely no chance of getting 180#, but it was good to feel that weight in my hands. Attempts on deadlift went: 315, 335, 350. There was a good deal of back rounding on the last two attempts, but they still counted. Should probably take a step back on this lift and focus on keeping the back arched.
