The CFT Implosion continues....

My CFT continues to go downhill. I don't know if that's because I've been doing more endurance training and less lifting, or because I've been trying to work my form when I do lift and have backed off some on the weight. Either way, it's frustrating.

Buy-in: 2 rounds CFWU

WOD: Crossfit Total (body weight = 123)

Back squat - 135#

Press - 70#

Deadlift - 175#

Crossfit Total = 380

My last CFT was 405. The only lift I didn't regress on this time was the back squat, but I'm still 10# under my best 1RM even on that.

Progressions:

Back squat

Warmup sets:

• 8 x 45#
• 5 x 65#
• 3 x 95#
• 3 x 115#

Work sets:

• 1 x 125#
• 1 x 135#
• 1 x 145# (fail)

Lost my balance on the 145# attempt. I came forward onto my toes while ascending and lost my balance when I tried to adjust. This resulted in a rather loud and spectacular dumping of the bar. Oh well, that's why you lift in a rack.

Presses

Warmup sets:

• 3 x 45#
• 3 x 55#

Work sets:

• 1 x 65#
• 1 x 75# (fail)
• 1 x 70# (barely)

Deadlifts

Warmup sets:

• 5 x 115#
• 3 x 135#

Work sets:

• 1 x 155#
• 1 x 175#
• 1 x 205# (fail)
• 1 x 200# (fail)

I was probably a little too ambitious on these, trying to jump from 175# to 205#. I got the 205 off the floor, but just barely. The 200 attempt got to just below my knees, but I could feel my back rounding and dumped it. By that point I was too tired to make an attempt at 195# and I'm not sure I could have done it anyway. So a 20# drop on the deadlift for this CFT.

Cash out: Max reps deadhang pullups - 10
