5 x 8 Squat + Sit-ups + Sumo Box Jumps + Swings

Crossfit Total came up today. I knew that I wasn't in a good position to go heavy....the last cycle of workouts that culminated in Kevin's Clean & Jerk-Run WOD practically killed me. One day of rest wasn't really enough, and I certainly wasn't going to drag my ego through the mud of a 50# drop off my PR in my CFT. Which is what would have happened.

So instead, I did this:

5 rounds for time:

8 reps Squat - 135#
8 Sit-ups
8 Sumo Squat Box Jumps
8 DB Swings - 50#

10:23

For the first 2 rounds I did 8 push-ups after the box jumps, but after that I forgot about them, so I'm not listing them. Total time includes the extra 16 push-ups, though.

After that WOD, I felt pretty warmed up so I worked on some strength stuff.

Bench x 8
65, 85, 90, 95, 100, 100

Deadlift x 8
135, 145 (6+2), 145, 145

Deadlift x 1
225, 230 (Fail), 225

Then some skill work:
100 double unders for time: 6:23
