Good Morning!
4 Rounds for time of:
12 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (Men 95 lbs, Women 65 lbs)
12 Box Jumps (Men 30″ box, Women 26″ box)
My time: 6:49, scaled to 20" box
Much to my surprise, last time we did this WOD I actually used a 23" box. I'm guessing that was a 20" box with a 35lb plate on it. But I cannot imagine what possessed me to do that. Ha! I was fine with 20" today. Today was my first time box jumping in a few weeks after letting my knee heal up. It's feeling pretty darn good right now. Yesterday when I ran, I felt a couple odd pains here and there, but no swelling, no lingering pain, nothing...just fine.
Sumos used to be one of my favorite lifts, I find that I get so winded on them and end up resting too much. I did the first 12 unbroken, then it was a mess after that. Six or eight and then triples or doubles. Ugh.
Strength today was 5 sets of 5 deadlifts, alternating with sets of x bar dips - I chose to do 3 per round, so I can work on depth. I'm getting deeper, but not with any great deal of consistency. I can do a few that are almost deep enough and then my muscles just say "no more!"
Deadlifts were at 135 lbs.
