I'm planning on doing some hill sprints for the first time today. Wish me luck, as I don't really know what I'm doing!

Weight does NOT equal health -- ditch the scale, don't be a slave to it!
I've come to the conclusion that I will only attempt WODs with fun names (ie Dead Beat Dad, mini beast etc)
Today was mini beast
5 rounds
20 kb swings (25#) should increase this is suppose
15 pushups
10 sumo dead lift High pulls
10 pistol squats
4 sets of ten reps:
chin ups
plyometric push ups
bavarian squats
burpees
90 second planks
5 minute rest in between each set
Random jumping jacks (my version of sprints), first day of Couch to 5k (10 minutes walking, 3 minutes jogging), crunchless abs, some upper body weights and some squats and wall-sits. Spaced throughout the day with relaxing in between. Nice thing about the pace of Saturdays.
Healthy Bucket List:
- Summit all of Colorado's 14-ers
- Hike the Appalachian Trail
- Do a real pull-up
- Run a 5k
- Be "Hot For Training Camp"

Bench press 5x5 24 kg (I'm upping the weight but I know I'm a sissy at this).
Lat machine 5x5 35 kg and maybe I'll be able to up the weight a bit next week.
I tried a pull up but I weight too much for my arms -there's something really not working with rehab here, some muscles are not recovering and I fear nerve damage went deeper than I thought though I've never had real strength in my upper body.
I've tried loading on weight at the hack squat machine:
40 kg 1x10
50 kg 1x10
60 kg 1x10
70 kg 1x10
80 kg 1x10
next time I'll start with 80 and see how it goes.
My trap bar work is up to 70 kg 5x5 but my hands are not able to deal with any more weight and my spine is still too much too fragile to go traditional, any suggestions as how to deal with the challenge?
