Prescribed weights for Men, Women, and Viv
For every workout in which weights are involved I usually list a prescribed weight for men and women, well, now I need to start listing a weight for Viv. She usually finds the men's weight is a tad too heavy, while the women's is a bit too light, and we settle somewhere in between...just right. You are impressing us all the time Viv, keep up the great work, I love seeing the improvements in you.
Two big Deadlift PRs tonight. We somehow convinced Angie to go for 260 before the WOD to tie for first place on the leader board (nothing like a little CF Peer Pressure). She resisted, but when we told her all of the cool kids were doing it, she hopped on it and nailed it! That is a 10lb. PR in just 3 weeks and she hadn't deadlifted heavy once. After coaching Niki picked up 155 like it was a feather, so I convinced her to try 175 which was a 5lb. PR, she hit it no problem and then proceeded to lift 185, way to go girlfriend (I mean that literally).
I'm throwing this out there...first woman to hit a 300lb. Deadlift gets Ice-Cream on me!
In case you hadn't noticed combining CrossFit and the Zone is awesome. I can't believe how incredible everyone is doing. Some numbers to think about, Angie has dropped 22lbs since joining ACF and starting the zone, and in just over one month Rich is already down 18lbs. This is where most gyms and commercials would tell you results are not typical...but they are here at Albany CrossFit!
