Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Therefore, give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions, and determine to pay the price for a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths. Remain steadfast… and one day you will build something that endures, something worthy of your potential. -Epictetus

Honoring Jack Lalanne

The great health pioneer Jack Lalanne passed away in 2011 at the age of 96. So, today's wod will be a 'for time' challenge of 11 different exercises, many of which involve the push-up in honor of Jack's push-up record. We will be doing 6 reps of each exercise for 9 rounds. As inspiration for the wod, here are some of my favorite Lalanne quotes:

Many so-called spiritual people, they overeat, drink too much, they smoke and don't exercise. But they do go to church every week and pray, "Please help my arthritis. Please help me bring up my strength, make me young again."

Everything you do in life, I don't care, good or bad - don't blame God, don't blame the devil, don't blame me, blame you. You control everything! The thoughts you think, the words you utter, the foods you eat, the exercise you do. Everything is controlled by you.

So, the wod for 2/3/11 is 9 rounds of 6 reps for time of: (record time in comments)
tuck jumps
push-ups, hands release at bottom
box jumps, the higher the box the better
clapping push-ups, as high off the ground as you can
chin-ups
diamond push-ups
scissor jumps, six each leg for total of twelve
burpee modification, push-up*
double-unders
man-makers, DB; choose DB around 20% of BW*
pull-ups

*see comments
