Karen rx’d 8:56. Improved by 2:22, although may have miscounted by 10 reps. Still would have PRed though.

Its been a while since Ive posted on here, but I have multiple PRs already this month.
Ive begun the Starting Strength Program and have trying to keep my work output constant as I gain weight and strength. Still doing crossfit as often as I can in between SS days.

PRs so far:

205 squat for 5 reps
295 deadlift for 5 reps
185 Bench Press for 5 reps (needed a little help with the last one, but still 5lbs over my current wt)
115 strict press for 5 reps
180 power clean for 5 reps (bodyweight)

Deadlift 10 x 225#

I probably could have gone heavier, but I’ll take this for now and be quite content.
