The title is basically to get you in here. Male, 32, 5'11.5", 235-240lbs, giant legs, love handles. Crossfit since 2008, and Crossfit Football since 2013, which I used to rehab from a SLAP repair.
I did my Crossfit Football Total today. If you hate the program, there's lots of other threads to read.
Power Clean-240lbs
Squat-425lbs; 435 (f). I should have tried 435 right off the bat. 425 is still a PR, but as soon as I unracked it, I knew I was going to crush it. 435 hit the safety strap on the way down, and I stayed down.
Bench-275lbs as a warm up rep, felt meh, then I tried 305 (f), which I got earlier this year, and then failed a bunch at 300lbs
Deadlift-505lbs, I don't have a way to fit any more weight on the bar, I probably could have lifted 515-525. It went up pretty easily.
I went back to bench to see what I could do, but my CNS was fried. I couldn't get 275lbs again.
So I guess it's back to 3x5 or 10x3 again for me. I'm kinda pissed, 300lbs was a goal today, and though I've gotten it twice in the last few months, I feel like I've really regressed to a plateau.
So hit me up with a few suggestions for complementary exercises, or favorite programs. I know that bench press is a controversial exercise, and 300lbs is a goal with no bearing on any form of reality except my mind, but tough luck, I want to break this plateau.
I've got just about everything a garage gym needs except for dumbbells.
