Crushed.....

"CrossFit Total"

Back squat, 1 rep
Shoulder Press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep

I was really looking forward to doing this one. I had some good motivation with me, I was doing it with 3 studs new to CrossFit. They all had some impressive lifts for being new to this style of lifting. I was happy with my Back squat, but only hit 265, which I believe was a previous PR. But it litterally felt as if it crushed my hip. no pain during the BS, just when I got to the deadlift I could, during the warm up, do 275lb 5x but I could not, maybe from fear, budge 305. Now when I began the pull on the 305, I could feel my right side hip sort of pulsing. I am disappointed that I cannot move the load like I used to. I am going to have to figure something out. any suggestions? I think i will be doing a lot more 1 arm movements, like kettle bell snatches, swings, and OHS (1arm), even a 1 arm dead lift to possibly strengthen that area. anyhow I did not even set a dead lift number last night. Last week I believe I could do 295, so assuming that was done last night that puts my total at 685 which is far below my pr. disappointing.....
