PR's all around

Last night I went to the gym expecting to do the WO called Linda. A power-lifter guy was on the squat rack doing squats. I knew that he would be there for a long time, thus I would have to wait at least a 1/2 hour to do pull ups or even cleans and deadlifts in the area. I decided to just do the CFWU (sans pull ups) X's 3 and then proceed from there. When I finished, he was still loading the bar and squating so I decided to do 7 sets of dbell bench press. I started at 55 pounders and progressed up to 75 pounders. I do not ever rember using such heavy dumbells, so I think it is a PR.

After I finished pressing, I decided to do some pull ups on another bar. I again noticed that when I attempted a pull up, my back muscles were very sore. This is the kind of pain I had when I first started CF. I also experienced it at the beach when I was doing door frame pull ups. I think I just have to work through it. Maybe some Gravitron pull ups at the beginning as it loosens up as I go.

The second PR was in my bicycle TT. I made two laps under 9 minutes. The main reason for this success was climbing Logan's Ferry road in the middle ring. I will keep this in mind when I attempt it next week.

I am still purging my "piles" at home and at work. It feels great, and I will soon start reading "Getting Things Done" to move to the next step, after I come back from Canada.
