Back Day, Deadlift/ Push Press

 Strength
Solid back day with Mike and Craig today. Worked on strict pull ups and some rowing moves.

WOD 1
5 Minute AMRAP
3 Deadlifts (275)
7 Push Press (115)
TOTAL 8 Rounds 3 Reps
*I worked on my deadlift form right before going into this wod. I wanted to work on keeping the lower lumbar curve in my back while working up to a heavy weight. I kept a solid curve while working up to 375lbs. My maximum deadlift is more than this but again, I just wanted to work on form. This wod had a high power output immediately. I want to have a solid balance of met-con training and this was a nice addition. Getting into a rhythm with the push presses was difficult. I usually want to just bounce the barbell off my chest but the weight was a little heavy to rep out like usual.

WOD 2
30 HSPU
40 Pull Ups
50 KB Swings(55)
60 Sit Ups
70 Burpees
TIME 15 Something (I think)
*I can't remember what my score was on this one but I think it was somewhere in the 15 minute mark. Muscle fatigue set in after only 13 HSPU's. I thought this might happen but I pushed through as well as I could. I am happy I was able to do two wods today, especially two wods that had different power outputs.
