Mean Mamma Jamma

Well I have had a rough time of it lately with my back and pain down my leg.  I took a week off to try and heel up.  I think I have enough nerve damage that it will take much longer to get to feeling 100%.  I actually laid flat on my back in the bed of a truck all the way from Kansas to East Texas because I did not want to sit that long.  However, walking and hunting constantly was good for it and I started working out after the hog hunt.  I have lost most of the workouts I did because we were on break and I was not posting.  This is the first on I had recorded.  I did this with Ron and it was a "Mean Mamma Jamma!"

5 Rounds for time with 20lb vest
15 Wall Slams w/ 20lb ball
15 KB Toss @ 35lbs
15 Heavy Rope Jumps
15 Ring Dips
1 Prowler Push - Down and Back - 300lbs on sled
Rest while partner is on, constant movement while waiting for partner to finish. Dynamic Stretching movements if possible.

Most of my splits and rest/easy movement times were a little under four minutes.  I don't have my phone today with splits written down.

Deadlift and Sprint

I started out looking for the mat for slams and could not find it so I did some med. ball wall crushes like I saw Clayton showing his throwers.  It was a good warm up on my core.  I did sets of 20 standing about 10 feet away from the wall.

I picked this WOD because I thought it would be a good light workout for my back:

Complete as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of:
185 pound Deadlift, 5 reps
Sprint 100 yards

Rd 1 - :36
Rd 2 - :53
Rd 3 - :54

Rd 6 - :53

Rd 7 - :54 
Rd 8 - :54
Rd 9 - :41
Rd 10 -:42
Rd 11 -:47
Rd 12 - :47

I didn't exactly attack this like gang busters to start but I turned it up as I thought my back was doing well.  I was feeling real good until the last round.  I was pushing real hard and bam don't know what happened but started shooting pain down my leg.  I finished  the round with a little time to spare.  Pain is shooting down my leg right now and I am fighting not to limp as I walk. SUCKS!

Heavy Step ups - Double-unders, Snatch

I took the day off from OPT today because I am focusing on healing.  For the past week I have not set down except to drive or eat lunch.  If I am watching TV, I am laying on my back.  If I am eating at home, I am standing at the bar.  My computer time is spent standing in the library, like I am doing right now.  I have learned to keep my pelvis straight and the OPT WOD did not match up.  It also had pistol squats which not only puts a big bend in my back but also would inflame my right knee that keeps crackling and has been sending me a little pain too.  So this was a main page WOD that I added weighted step-ups to.  The steps-ups were on a 24" box.  I would step up but keep my trail leg straight which kept my pelvis straight also.  The OPT WOD called for snatch.  I did not want to go heavy but I don't want to lose the progress I have made either.  I thought this main page WOD would be a good sub.

(Load the bar by snatch and lower to shoulders)
Step-ups at 95lbs on a 24" box
