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.
