185 lb. Deadlift, 9 reps (5-4)

50 squats (30-20)

95 lb. Push Press, 9 reps (6-3)

To do the deadlifts, I lifted, set bar down, stood up and shook out the tightness, and then did the next rep. It would have been to dangerous to my back at this point to have done back-to-back reps. 

The Push press seems relatively easy and I only struggled on the next to the last one. Maybe a little more weight next time.

The WOD took a while, but felt good and it felt good to be able to do it all. But the deadlifts felt like my lower back was in peril, so I tried to always remain good form. I think the WODs are more difficult when you can drop the weights and must control them all the way to the floor without making too much noise.

During the work out my body felt pretty good. But by the time I got home my lower back was very tight and sore, my left hip had a bit of a catch and my left knee. So I'm back to walking funny again -- and struggling to get in and out of chairs. I don't think there's any real injury, so let's keep it that way.
