It has been way too long since I have done backsquats, and boy did I miss them.  I was happy to see that I had not lost any of my weight, and actually felt like I could go more at another time.  195# just wasn't as deep as should have been and I stalled on way up.  Need to really work on "seeing the lift completed" before I start.  It's silly, but sometimes the higher numbers make me loose my confidence.  Maybe it's just a gradual progression.  When I started trying higher box jumps, it also freaked me out, but once I did them, I was fine.  It truly does help if I have someone coaching/cheering/yelling me to go deeper, add more weight, etc.  Hint, hint to my lifting buddy and coach.  Will be setting some lifting weight goals and working on them weekly before or after my wods.  If I want to progress, I need to challenge myself to do more as I have in the past.  True, I am at the gym working out all week long, but as anyone who knows me will tell you, I am very impatient when it comes to things that I want.  I'll work my ass off to get there, but there needs to be results.  On a lighter note, the Warrior Dash is only a few weeks away.  I am very excited to run and play in the mud!  Even though I am running by myself that day, I am feeling the urge to dress up all crazy.  From the pics that I have seen, it is sorta a tradition (there is a prize for the craziest costume).  The true question is, what do I want to get all muddy and possibly ruined?  Cute pic-don't all men want to be married to a Crossfit girl?
