Garage OHS

I figured it was time I use the weights I bought at Rouge Fitness last weekend. I haven’t done any OHS in a long time so they sounded like a good idea. Especially as they are listed as the WOD on the main site for Friday. I decided to go for a 1RM. Warmed up with the bar and then a few at 75#. Knocked one out at 95# and then one at 115#. My previous PR was 130# so I went up to 135# and it felt good. I don’t have any small plates so the next weight I could put on was 145#. It wasn’t pretty on the way up, but I got it done for a 15# PR. Then I got greedy and decided to go for 155#. Wasn’t stable and lost it at the bottom of the squat. Here’s a video of the 145# lift.

I need to get a rack because it was way too much work getting the bar into position. Not to mention I won’t be able to do any heavy front or back squats until I have a rack.

Even more exciting than this PR… I just got the email that I passed the test, so now I’m officially a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer! I scored a 40 out of 45 on the test.
