Hit 6:30am CrossFit class with enthusiasm this morning -- it was OHS 1RM day, and I hadn't tested that lift in 6-9 months. It was a given I would be able to pass my old 1RM of 85, but I just wasn't sure how high I could go...
Well, it turns out I could go up to 115#. Woot!
WOD:
Overhead squat: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
Warm-up: 35x5, 55x3
Work sets: 85-95-105-115m-110-115-115 (I only did 7)
Decided to re-do 115 to end on a high note -- and it was a strong lift, no wobble, nice and deep. I think there was definitely a learning curve, as far as experiencing what heavy singles of OHS feel like. I never had that heavy of a load in a wide-grip overhead position before. I've only push pressed or jerked that much with a narrower grip.
So, that said, I think this is really going to do a lot for my snatch, now that I have more confidence with big-ass weights over my head.
