Day One

First day in the books.  Lifting heavy is much slower and more staid than what I am used to in a normal Crossfit class- running to and fro and throwing weight around and sweating and heaving and and and...

That being said, it was a great experience.  We started way dialed back on weight, which allowed me to explore my form a bit more and really try and feel everything out.  I learned at least one valuable nugget about each lift, and I like the direction the programming is going.  Don't know if Jeremy put me with the gals because I'm short or because I'm weak, but I am definitely both of those, so no harm done there.  Here's the numbers:

Back Squat: 155 X 3 X 5
Press: 95 X 3 X 5
Deadlift: 195 X 1 X 5

Lesson Learned: I have been way to squatty with my deadlift position.  When setting up, using the bar-to-shin contact as a cue to stop my badonkadonks downward descent keeps me in a much more proper and tight starting position.
