STRONGER
When I started I was lifting 60 kilos of deadlift from the ground, now I can lift 155 kilos. This big step up took quite a bit of time. You need a person to guide you so as not to start jumping up the weights too fast, otherwise you will get injured. It took me two years to go from 60 to 155, moving up the weights like this you have to be patient and take your time. I do it because I am not always windsurfing these days. I need to keep my body moving now I am getting older and it helps me prevent injuries. One of the exercises I can do with CrossFit is to jump straight up onto a box from standstill; I have done 1.2 metres. That is from straight standing and up like a cat. I am not the best jumper on the PWA, but this helps me to get more lift off out of a small ramp.
