The Saucony Bullets are my preferred CF shoe. Flatter sole makes them more stable than the Nike waffles or waffle imitators, making them better for WODs with lifts.

The math isn't exact. Amanda and I were at BIW so no little weights to get it exact but I'll take a new 1RM of 145#. Legs were done from yesterday's WOD during push presses and jerks.

Hey Max quick question: Are we supposed to take the new 1RM and use them for calculating weights for the sets of 21reps?

if anybody cares my NIKE waffle zoom racers are incredibly comfortable and conform to your foot very nicely making them very good crossfit shoes and I would recommend them to anyone interested in a well-rounded workout shoe for crossfit.

Use new 1RM to calculate.

Waffle Zoom is unofficially the official shoe of CFEB. When my next order arrives I will have 2 pair.

I like the Saucony Shay xc (pictured above) better than the Nike zoom waffles. I have wide feet and to me they just fit better than the Nike's.

Both Saucony models superior to the Nike Waffle. I insist.

New PR! Thanks Max! (That's so you can feel good about my PR)

This was revealing. Limited shoulder flexibility and midline stability makes multi-rep sets really tough.

Maybe I should have rested *a lot* longer between those last sets.

I just got some Nike Free 3.0s and pulled the insole out. Haven't tried running in them yet. I tried Puma once but my feet are WAY to wide for that.

I did the Press Max Rep/Max Effort two days ago.
Max Press was 137#

Today:

Deadlift x10 @ 145#, x7 @ 225#, x2 @ 315# ... just working on form so I stopped here.

Did the Press Sets of 21 at about 55% of my 1RM.

Press x 21 @ 75# PASS
PP x 21 @ 75# PASS
PJ x 21 @ 75# PASS

Followed by band resistance bench press:
x10 @ 95#
x10 @ 105#
x5 @ 115#
x5 @ 135#

Prior press 1RM 130#
70% -95#
80% -105#
90% -120#
102.5%-135# Pass
105% - 137# Pass

The percentages are off, I rounded the weight up to make it less complicated.

Only did 3-4 of the strength workouts for these in the past, poor performance reflected. Left arm is much weaker than right, barbell was tilted more than 10inches at one point :(

New 1RM, new 8 pound pr.

Press: 50-55-65-72(Fail 102.5%)
I was happy to still press my old PR (70#).
21 Press: 30# pass
21 Push press: 40# pass
21 Push jerk: 40# pass

Passed all. Stoked to do that and get a 10% gain on my 1RM which is now 127#. booyah.
