Strength:

Dead Lift: 225x5, 275x5, 315x5
Holy-lower-back-tightness. I was lifting them with good form but my lower back seized up on me like nothing else. Most likely because I did Deads this morning as well. I stopped at 315, even though I was planning on going all the way up to 365, to preserve myself for the WOD.

WOD 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Dead Lifts 275lbs
KBS 1.5 pd

I was too lazy to go out to my car to go get the 2 pd kettle bell so I did it with the 1.5. I figured the 2 pood would wreck my back anyway, since it was already tight.

Time: 9:15

I was alright w/ that time. Nick Urankar got 9:51 w/ 2 pd, so I figured I had to beat his time w/ a lighter weight. My back was messed up though and I could have gone much faster on a fresh back.

(I know I already did Dead Lifts this morning, but I had a lot more in me and I want to get after them again.)

WOD 2: 21-15-9
Box Jumps
Power Snatch 75lbs
Front Squat 75lbs

Time: 7:42

I could have gotten in the 6's but I'll take it. I took quite a bit of time between rounds 1 and 2 which is usually what I do...and isn't good. Round 3 is typically my fastest. This was an easy WOD which could have been faster. I'll re-do it next week and see how much faster I am.

(A variation on yesterday's WOD)
