Tonight we reassessed for my Olympic Weightlifting class. Scary, but true, my max backsquat just 9 weeks ago was a mere 90 lbs. Now it's still "mere", but DAMN, what an improvement. I backsquatted 130lbs tonight!
On top of that, now that I have kipping pullups, I've been trying to get a deadhang pullup. I have one of those home pullup bars that goes over my doorway. About once a week, I'll pull it out and attempt a dead hang. So far, no go, and I've had it since Christmas.
Well tonight, one of the assessments was max # of deadhang pullups. I figured, what the hell, I'll give it another shot. Holy Cow! I did 2!
One thing very cool about Crossfit. If you just show up and try hard, you WILL see an improvement. Everyone in my class PR'ed tonight!

And I was there to see those PR's! Well, I actually only saw the pullups..sorry I was with my client and only heard the shouts of joy from your buddies when you got the backsquat. Nice work girl.
Girl, you are so much fun to chase! I managed a 120 back squat tonight, 25lb over my assessment in December.
Hearing you this morning clear two deadhangs made me quite hungry. I tried it after class tonight, and got MUCH closer than I ever have, but still didn't clear my chin... yet.
Thanks for posting your stats, I love watching your PR's. BTW: After O-lift tonight, I can confidently say my back is finally feeling better. Starting tomorrow, I'm back in our partnership game... 20/20!!!
Keep it up my friend and I'll do my best to stay on your heels!
