Workout 1 December 2010:

Clean and Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

Results: 115-135-155-165-175-185(F)-185lbs
Previous best: 150-155-160-165-170-175-180lbs (18 Sep 10)

Today's workout was at CrossFit Confluence. I wasn't originally going to count the 115lb lift as my first rep, but I ended up only doing six lifts afterwards since my elbows were starting to bother me. As I was doing the 185lb lifts, I didn't realize at the time that that weight would be a PR. As long as my elbows hold up, I can clean another 20-30lbs beyond what I lifted today, but the limiting factor of this lift is my jerk. I'm not yet able to get under the bar fast enough or deep enough to successfully catch the heavier weights. Part of the problem is psychological but the bigger part is a flexibility problem. Working on both should allow me to throw up heavier weights.
