19:24 @ 115#

I think I finaly choose a good weight to scale for a change. Per clean it was a little light, but strung togehter it was good. I did stop after 5 rounds to give my back a break which really helped for the last rounds.
I really suck at the clean because of my wrist and shoulder flexibility issues. I can’t properly catch the bar yet so it puts stress on my back and wrists. Which sucks…. And that’s why I only did 115# instead of 155# or even 135#.
But, as usual, it was a good workout as evident by my puddles (yes plural) of sweat on the floor ;-) It feels good to be more of a regular at the gym again.

Let me just say… A 30″ box is pretty high… But I did it! And after a week off, 2 holiday parties, and day of wineries… I’m wipes, those box jumps and the rowing did me in.
Finished my post-workout coconut water and now it’s time to go check on my light show ;-)

Tabata: 5… Started at 11, dropped to 6, then finally 5.
 
Metcon: 95# – first set was 5:41 and I need to check the 2nd set time tomorrow since I forgot to send this from the gym…
This workout defienitly got to my wrists which slowed me down a lot. I really need to work on that front squat and thrusters position.

The runs did me in… I hit the walk big time for last 400m of the 800m. If I’m going to do the Turkey Trot I need to start running more. And we won’t even talk about the metcon other than to saymy legs are dead… which doesn’t make for pretty box jumps. 
But as always… It was a good workout.
