I PR’ed CrossFit Benchmark Elizabeth

I’m in a rut again with CrossFit. I’ve been doing a lot of grunt work, and it’s definitely taken its toll mentally. I’ve also been struggling with programming. I follow many gyms, and lately, none of their workouts have been appealing to me — which means I program my own. Again, this is taxing. I did CrossFit benchmark workout Elizabeth on a whim yesterday because it was programmed.

Elizabeth is:

21-15-9 of

  • Squat Cleans 95 lbs for women
  • Ring Dips

And I beat my time by over 2 minutes! This was a shock to say the least, especially considering my garage was a balmy 40 degrees. I last did this workout 6 months ago, so I didn’t think I’d PR it. I can definitely say my ring dips are much better, and I pushed the squat cleans I think more. Still, it was a shock. But, when you have been doing something for so long and you’re struggling, any small victory is a win.  

I am trying to grow my YouTube channel so if you’re inclined, I’d really appreciate if you checked it out and subscribed. Thanks so much!
