Well here we are :

AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) 5 shoulder to overhead 55lbs; 10 deadlifts 55lbs ; 15 box jumps 20″.

In my case I have never lifted more than 25lbs overhead (frowned upon to put weight over your head with artificial hips). Deadlifts are no problem, I regularly do 150lbs, however I do them from an extra 4″ above the ground to minimize strain on hips…so lifting regulation will be a challenge…did a practice couple of weeks ago and it was a strain, had to wiggle around a lot changing stance etc..

Box jumps are right out… 😦 they are deadly to me…if I want to wear my hips around my ears I will box jump.. If I wanted to do 20″ step up, the angle I have when I  would actually push up to stand on top of the box  will pop them for sure. That high a jump would have an incredible impact. I know because I can do a 10″ box jump and regularly do that when we have box jumps.

So realistically I will only be posting 15 reps if I can get 55lbs over my head that is 🙂

Stay tuned  🙂  tonight’s the night
