Music Of Late

Here is a list of a few of the songs I've been listening to repeatedly over the last few weeks.

•  "Is Your Love Strong Enough," by How to Destroy Angels.  I discovered this song because it's on the soundtrack to American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.  (Note that this song doesn't get going until about 50 seconds in, and it shifts into second gear around 2:05.)
• "Rolling in the Deep," by Adele.  Pandora found this song for me.
• "Rocket Trip," by Kognitif.  This song appears to be a remix of "Rocket Trip to Mars," by Frederika Stahl.  I discovered this song in a YouTube video chronicling a very impressive mission to the Mars-equivalent planet in Kerbal Space Program.

I think there's a pattern here, don't you?

How about you?  What have you been playing on repeat?

PR: Press

Set today:

• 4 reps:  135 lb.
• 5 reps:  132.5 lb.

PR: Back Squat

Set today.  Back squat, 5 reps, 250 lb.

PR: Thruster

Last Tuesday, I set a new personal record for the thruster:  180 lb, an 11-lb improvement   And I did it after cleaning the bar from the floor, too.  I think 185 might have been possible, but I ran out of time.

PR: Back Squat, Press, and CrossFit Total

Last Wednesday's CrossFit Total went pretty well, given that it's the first time I've attempt a max deadlift since before my injury.

• Back squat:  285, lb a 5-lb improvement. 
• Press:  150 lb, a PR tie.
• Deadlift:  320.  25 lb less than my previous best.
• CrossFit Total:  755 lb, a 45-lb improvement.

PR: Press

About a week ago, I set a new PR of 148 lb for the strict shoulder press.  That was a whopping 5.5-lb improvement.  Today I beat that, pressing 150 lb.  I'm quite pleased with that result.

PR: Back Squat

Today, use a low-bar position, I set a new PR for back squat:  280 lb.  That's only a 2.5-lb improvement, but given that my previous best was set less than a month ago, I'm pretty happy with it.  I'll aim for 285 next time, and my long-term goal is 300 lb.

PR: Jackie

7:53.

PR: Front Squat

Today I set a new PR for front squat:  242.5 lb.  That's a 7.5-lb improvement.

PR: Snatch

I don't have good data for my personal records for multiple repetitions of the snatch, so I have to assume that what I put up today, puny as it it, qualifies:

• 2 reps:  140 lb.
• 3 reps:  135 lb.
