Hell yea! In the ~2 months since my last CFT, I managed to add 40lbs to my lifts and finally break the 1000lb barrier. It's also funny to look back and realize this is 220lbs higher than my first ever CFT over a year ago, although back then I was struggling with a back injury. The best part is that I know I still have some room left over for an even bigger CFT before the end of the year.
On the squat, my technique felt great today and 365 (my old PR) went up very easily, 375 went up slowly but steadily, and 385 only made it halfway up before I had to dump. I definitely wasn't ready for a 20lb PR, though I'm pretty sure I could've gotten 380. My practice with singles at the OH press paid off as I managed to put up 195, one of my goals for 2009. 200 was absurdly close: I got it to the top of my forehead and got stuck there for an agonizing 5 seconds before finally giving up. Another inch and I would've had it. Finally, deadlift was a mixed bag: my legs powered through all three attempts, but my back only handled the first two properly. I got 445 up, but my back was definitely rounding and it was not a very "safe" lift. I'm thrilled with the 20lb PR but definitely need to build up more back strength to make sure I don't injure myself - I got away with it today but given my back injury history, I should not risk it again.
