Working on a 1 rep max deadlift tonight. 405lbs is my 1 rep max deadlift as of September 2014. It's crazy what a difference 5lbs can be! Tonight I failed but it's all a part of the process, or should I say progress?
I’ve been doing this workout in variation 3 times now over the past 2 months. My last time was 12:43. This time I got 12:18 — a little bit faster but I was completely out of gas by the 2nd round. I skipped breakfast and did this WOD right in the middle of the day -- I'm thinking the empty stomach, and 80 degree weather might have been the problem! Trying to get under 10 minutes on this at some point. Until next time…
2 Rounds For Time (my time was 12:18):
1st round - 20 kettlebell swings (35lbs), 40ft dumbbell lunges (35lbs), 20 box jumps at 24”, 20 clean and jerks (135lbs).
2nd round - 10 kettlebell swings (50lbs), 40ft dumbbell lunges (50lbs), 10 box jumps at 24”, 10 clean and jerks (150lbs).

I love video editing and I enjoy working out daily, so occasionally I put together videos of my workouts on Instagram @RaymondRoman. Creating these quick 15 second videos for Instagram is fun, and also a good way to look back at progress I make overtime. Checkout some of the recent videos below!
Last weekend I shot some photos of my younger brother and his friends before they went off to their Homecoming dance. Here's a quick photomontage I put together for him.

It's all about Fuel For Fire for pre/post workout fuel! Enjoyed this sample from the 2014 CrossFit Games so much I decided to make a video about it!
Awesome finish tonight for Rich Froning at the 2014 CrossFit Games! Rich has climbed the leaderboard and back in 1st place going into the final day tomorrow.
This video doesn't do justice to how great of an event this was. I wish I could share the feeling and intensity of the crowd with you but I've got to get to bed and wake up in 2 hours to drive back up for the final day!
It's that time of the year again! The CrossFit Games have returned to Carson, CA. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to the games until Saturday but I was lucky enough to get my hands on gold passes earlier this week! In the photomontage I edited below are photos of my family from the first day of events that began at Hermosa Beach.
