3x10 good mornings (pvc)
3x10 pvc passthrus

WOD: "OHS & RUN"
Complete ladder of overhead squats (95#) and 100 meter runs for time.  Count down from 10 reps (e.g., round 1 is 10 overhead squats and a 100 meter run, round 2 is 9 overhead squats and a 100 meter run.  Go all the way to 1 overhead squat and a 100 meter run.  Score total time.  This will be a total of 55 overhead squats and 1000 meters of running.

Time 16:30 Rx

Again, my slow running affected my time.  I was able to do all unbroken sets of overhead squats.  Another Rx WOD completed though.

Too Many Box Jumps

Warmup:
Row 500 meters
20 double unders
15 kettlebell swings (1 pood)
10 wall ball shots (20#)

WOD:  "Too Many Box Jumps"
20 Deadlifts 135#
30 Box Jumps 24"
20 Hang Cleans 135#
30 Box Jumps 24"
20 Push Jerks 135#
30 Box Jumps 24"

Time 12:29 Rx

 My philosophy as I have grown old and fat is to perform as many Rx workouts as I can, as fast as I can, but with the end goal of completing the WOD.  My times may be a bit slower as I get back in shape.  Hopefully WOD's like this will become increasingly quicker.  I realize that I cannot keep up with the young guys, but maybe I can hang in there with them.
