Learning a New Move

1/10
Warm-up:
row 500m
10-10-10-10 parallette push-ups
WOD:
5RFT
10 wall climbs
10 toes-to-bar
20 box jumps (24")
time: 23:32
This went slower than planned with learning a new move. I look forward to destroying that time in the near future!

1/11
Warm-up:
double unders
stretch
Strength:
box squat- 135#x5, 185#x5, 205#x5, 225#x5, 255#x5
WOD:
20 min AMRAP
5 squat clean (95#)
7 thrusters (95#)
10 sumo deadlift high pull (95#)
rounds: 5, stopped after 13:00 due to back pain
The back has not been feeling great due to a lack of rest I believe so this is why the WOD was cut short, I did not want to push through pain (back pain, not fatigue :)) and have a negative result. I will be taking a break on deadlift movements for the next week or so to give my lower back enough time to fully recover.

Follower WOD:
3 rounds:
800m run

First WOD of the year-Florida Trip 2010

1/1
WOD:
4RFT
15 burpees
20 thrusters (bag of rocks 70#)
30 lunges
45 double unders
time: 17:56

This was a great WOD to conclude the Florida trip. It was a burner that forced you to remain mentally strong. The toughest excercise seemed to be the thrusters, especially following the burpees.
Follower WOD for 1/3:
1 round for time:
1 mile run
50 wall ball
50 push-ups
50 pull-ups
1 mile run
