CrossFit Progress: New Clean and Jerk PR!
I finally hit a PR on my clean and jerk. My previous PR was 205 lb. and today I lifted 215 lb. I learned that your mental state plays a big role in heavy lifts. I made two attempts at 205 and missed one of them. The difference between the two lifts were my mental state. I wasn't 100% during my missed lift; I wasn't focused. After reevaluating and some notes from my coaches I made the lift. I felt really good after and decided to try and PR.
Thankfully, it only took one attempt. My coaches were trying to get me to attempt 225 lb but I decided against it. I only had a few minutes left and I didn't want to rush it. The next time a max clean and jerk comes up, I'll definitely attempt 225 lb. I wanted to post a video but it didn't come out well, next time.
Lift Heavy and Level Up!
ABOUTME
Hello, my name is Nick and I'm from Guam. I'm an avid gamer and functional fitness exerciser. I'm not great at either but I do my best. I would describe myself as a huge nerd since I love most things you would find in typical nerd culture. I started doing CrossFit at CrossFit Gof Metgot in 2013 as a way to get my weight under control. I decided to change my exercise habits to lose that excess weight and be more fit. Hopefully my story inspires people to try out CrossFit.
