The last Saturday of each month is Level Testing at CFTO.

We weigh-in, hammer out a CrossFit Total and then a short met-con:
Row 500m
40 squats
30 sit-ups
20 push-ups
10 pull-ups

I scored a 745 in the Total, 240# Back Squat, 145# Shoulder Press and a 360# Deadlift.
My increased flexibility has led to uncertainty with my Back Squat weight, I threw 240# without a problem, so that’s a bit of poor planning on my part. Same thing for the Shoulder Press, I jumped from 145# to 155# and failed. I should have done 150#. I did add 5# to my Deadlift PR, so it wasn’t all a wash.

I hit 4:20 on the met-con. The standards are the highest, and I had to do a few push-ups over due to my chin not hitting the deck.

Oh, and I weighed in at 183.4#, which is a bit high I feel, I’d like to be 170-175#, stupid belly chub.

Every Minute, on the Minute, for 15 minutes (originally 20)
- 5 DB Dead Lift
- 5 DB Hang Power Cleans

6 minutes with 40# DBs, and then I had to drop to 30# DBs for the remaining 9 minutes.

Every since I bought SF4 I knew that the stock 360 controller wasn’t going to cut it.

So after a few conversations with Ryan , I broke down and bought some authentic Sanwa parts from Lizard Lick. (That’s a typo waiting to happen)

I picked up a Sanwa JLF-TP-8T Ball Handle Joystick, 4 & 8-Way modes:

And 8 Sanwa OBSF-30 Pushbuttons:

My plan is to tear apart my current wired 360 controller for the PCB and harvest a bit of wood left over from the kitchen reno we recently completed.

Maybe I’ll prove to be better competition online. We’ll see.

If you’re looking for parts in Toronto, The Playdium Store has buttons and sticks, but I’d call first.

5 rounds for time of:

• 5 Deadhang pull-ups
• 10 Dumbbell muscle snatches/side (45#)
• 20 Double-unders

• @dts Staffed? in reply to dts #
• @dts Right ok… by itself, that didn’t make sense :) SF4 comes today (according to AMZN) in reply to dts #
• @dts I’ve only ordered the parts. ETA is unknown. in reply to dts #
• @dts Ya, I’ll have to slum it for a while, but the stick will be worth it: SF4, SF2remix, r-type, ikaruga… hotsauce! in reply to dts #
• Whomever took my YeahYeahYeahs – Fever to Tell CD, give it back… I can’t find it anywhere… #
• @dts I’m just going to use the standing roundhouse hack :) in reply to dts #
• @dts Noted. I don’t need AI beating my ass, that will happen enough online. in reply to dts #
• I have to restart to install Safari4Beta? Apple is the new MS, confirmed! :) #safari4beta #
• @schwa Grab the Right corner to reorder. in reply to schwa #
• @dts Meh, I run WebKit, FF3 and now Safari4. They’re all better at things than the others. in reply to dts #

All I need now are my arcade parts and I can build my sweet controller!
