Jason Khalipa, Kris Cleaver and Katie Hogan are going to be at my gym tomorrow!
My old Coach dates Kris Klever, she's really shy.

For deads, hook grip - I tried mixed last dead day and I found it to be kind of weird. I may start once I get up higher, but for now, my deads are only 94kg.
For sumo deadlifts, I started with hook today, but ended up using regular grip for the last 2 x5.
We don't use straps at our Crossfit gym.
Our coach basically says that our lifts are limited by our grip strength, and it's fine. Once it gets stronger, the lifts will increase. I am doing other things to work on grip strength like static hangs and such. It will come with time/experience - really, I think I am doing not too bad for just under 4 months of Crossfit

You're doing awesome Dahlia. Keep it up! Your numbers are really impressive.
As for hook grip, I just can't hang with it. It feels too weird and I don't really feel limited by my grip anyway. Mixed grip all the way for deadlifts, overhand for everything else.
Nice job on the snatch 137!

Well, I learned a valuable lesson this morning.
Focus.
UGH! We were doing progressively higher box jumps from a 20" box - like, two boxed, you are on one, jump down and hop onto the other. Anyways, I suck at box jumps as it is, so my confidence is not 100%, but I have been pretty good at some self talk and power through it.
So, this time, I'm on the box and just at the moment I jump off my box, I hear my coach talking to someone else, and I can make out one word "difficult". Welp, that did it for me - I know I should have bailed on it, but I tried to make it and ended up clipping one toe on the box, and landing the other on the box - completely bashing and then skinning my shin down the box
So, I have my first incomplete workout (not by much though as I was on my second last set of 5 jumps) and I learned a very valuable lesson.

I messed up when I typed it out. It went like this:
1 2-1 3-2-1 4-3-2-1 etc, etc
Just to be clear, that is the order of the exercises, 1 rep each right? Not 12, 11, 10...etc. reps down to one rep.

I have to youtube wtf half those exercises are.
And what does 95/65 mean? Man/women weight?
Keep in mind, that is Rx. Not everyone is going to use the Rx weight depending on what the movement is and what their fitness/experience level is.
i.e. because of my groin, my front squats are only at 55kg - therefore, if Rx is 65, I would be doing it scaled.
