202.5 and landed first triangle choke

I'm pretty beat up today, but BJJ class last night was a good one.  Usually I'm lucky to roll for 4 rounds at the end of class, then people start leaving or they stay paired off.  But last night I got in about 7 rounds in.  The class is mostly white belts, so I'm finally able to hit some moves that I never pull off on people better than me.  I finished a few armbars and the first triangle I think I've ever actually pulled off. 

I'd prefer to just work on positions and control, but it's good to land a sub at least a few times to know you can potentially do it.

203

My weight has been holding around 205, was surprised to see it down to 203 this morning.  Maybe the addition of BJJ into my Crossfit routine will help me drop the last 20 lbs.

Last week I did both and it was definitely a busy and tiring week, but I think I can get into the flow of it pretty quickly.  My first BJJ class was pretty rough on me, since I didn't remember anything and was straining harder than necessary.  The 2nd class was already a big improvement.  I should be able to get through the class with it just being a cardio/light strength type activity, so I can leave the harder workouts for Crossfit.

185 back squat

A bit ugly and slow out of the bottom.

135 full clean

It was a bit ugly, but I did a full clean (with squat) with 135.  This change in my squat form is making a big difference.  I don't think I had properly full cleaned more than 65 before this.

Started at Impact Jiu Jitsu today

Just finished my first class.  Had a good time, nice laid back atmosphere.  And no exercise to start.  A lot of places put you through a workout as "warmup", which is generally a good idea, but since I'm doing Crossfit 3 days a week, I'm glad to not have too much more added in.
