OHP is a bitch for me too. I've been stuck at 110 for two days...this may be my first deload.
Tried hook grip on deadlift and it felt weird. Went back to mix grip and pulled 260# 1x5. Lower back was pretty sore though.
I've learned to love squats. Will hit 200# 5x5 this week. There's no way I'll be able to keep them at 5x5 for the full 12 weeks though.
My entire back was sore after my boxing session on Friday. I'm not sure where it came from. It wasn't sore like I'd hurt it. It was more akin to the feeling of using a muscle or group of muscles a lot when they were once dormant. Maybe it was because I was doing a lot of ducking and dodging during the session. That's the only thing I was doing differently.

think about the way your arms move, if you punch alot it's like pressing and pulling movements except light and fast.
my neck feels as if it's big as a log, having a guy clinch your head and then hang on to it while kneeing you to the stomach gives you a real neckworkout. feels like the day after a cannibal corpse concert, except i get elbowed way more at the concert
But why was it sore this day and not others? Maybe I was REALLY going at it and didn't even realise. Which is cool because it shows I might be getting better. I know my latissimus dorsi muslces can be sore after a good session. It feels satisfying.
Nice work Nick! You're progressing pretty fast in the Occultfit.

yea man. Good luck! I had a killer session that day upping my 1RM by 30#
Went to a regular gym with a friend (also from CrossFit). We did somewhat of a StrongLifts kind of thing. 5x5 for Squats, Pendlay Rows, Strict Press, and Bench Press. Not a bad day.
I mixed front and back squats at 135#, 185#, 185#, 195#, 195#. Pendlay Rows at 135#, 155#, 165#, 165#, 165#. Strict Press at 95#, 115#, 95#, 115#, 95# Bench Press (first time I ever did that) at 95# 95# 115# 115# 125#
