Haven't felt myself lately. Work has been super stressful (I'm a teacher). My passion for what I love isn't as strong as it used to be. I seem to be preoccupied with my work situation. I'm also a little depressed. I'm thinking I might go see the doctor and get a physical. Get some blood work done and check for various levels on things. Has anyone else gone through a similar experience? I usually very resilient to life's challenges but this year is getting me down.

Patrick Tonge 03-18-2018 04:20 PM

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 
Did 18.4 RX today. Only got 21 DL @ 225lb. I just could get even 1 HSPU and I've done one before.... Did better on the DL then I thought I would.

Tim- Good Idea to go to the DOC and get things checked out. I never went to the Doc., when I hit 50 I've tried to get a Physical every year. I'm 54, and also have found "work" is not the same after 36 years of IT work. I have a new boss, that I don't match up well with. I know thats a big part of my problem. But, I realize I am changing.......I don't like going to work every day. I'd like to quit and do contract work, so I could take breaks in between gigs. The good thing here Tim, is you see it and realize you need to look in the Mirror and figure things out. Patrick

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 
Mon 19 March

We have had a stomach-flu in our family, 5 of 6 got it:mad:
I decided to skip the hole 18.4 but my wife encouraged me to go and do at least something..even feeling still weak. So i did go and thought i do few deadlifts with that 225lbs

Some warmup, some curls and tri presses, light romanian deads.
Then 225lbs on the bar and rep,rep rep...nonstop to 21 and thought, now i go home. Before i did go i still watched the video and noticed, only 20 reps. So i did a second set to do those 21 reps full.

Tim, like Bill said it looks from your workouts your ok. Teachers job is not an easy one, i respect the teachers :notworth:
If you check some bloodtests, i would ask for vitamin-D and testostereone level.
How much sunlight do you have over there, are you eating xtra vit-D?
I consume at winter time (like many i know who trains regulary) a 100uq a day for some 5 days/week, at least 50uq. It really is a psych-med for lots of people, for me too.
Pine pollen, fenugreek, mucuna puriens powder are good natrulal testo-boost giving energy and good mood.
If i feel "overtrained" (mood down, irritated, sleep bad) or so, for several days in a row, i buy a bottle of pine pollen powder, or mucuna powder and consume it and it usually works fine. I belive in those.
Hopefully you feel yourself soon again!

Thanks guys for the kind and wise words. I am definitely getting blood work done to for vitamin D levels and testosterone levels. Sun levels are pretty low in Ohio during the winter. So vitamin D levels might be low even though I do take a vitamin D supplement. It helps to be able to discuss this matter with men my age.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In

3.23.2018 Friday

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 
Good work gents! Awsome!

Sun 25 March

C2 row
15 min - 3317m

Pulldowns, rubberband work som presses and thrusters for warmup

18.5

Thrusters and pullup... With bad knees and slightly tight shoulder this was nothing to enjoy...
Actually i think this was the first time ever i did a thruster from deep squat position.
My plan and belive was that i'll Rx, and i'll do the 3s and 6s and 9s, anything beyond that is a plus...i did those + 7thrusters
= 43reps

My son was with me (he turns 15 tomorrow)..when the time run out and i finished, i sat down and first thought's..i said to him...bad condition, should have to be able to do more...he answered...
: - huh dad...with your knees..and your tight shoulder...how many do you think you're brother would have done?
: - i said, not even one thruster.
Jeah, my son said.. you are though man dad...
Guess how good that sounded :pepper:

My first Open. My goal was to be abel to do every workout, at least to some point...so it was ok. And to do at least one workout Rx.
I actually did 3 workouts Rx, even because the stomach flu we had i did the 18.4 only the first deadlift, if i would have been normal i'll probably would have done 18.4 scaled.
So goal accomplished - happy man :)

Bouldered with Jeff, Norm, and others at Rock Mill. Fun.

Later this evening...
THE WALK
You start at 0 degrees on a treadmill and go up by 1 degree every minute until you hit 15 degrees. Repeat the minute at 15 degrees and return to 0 degrees minute by minute reversing the process on the way up.
You must cover 2 miles. If you don't make 2 miles you've failed the test.
No running. Walking only.
Weight vest - 10kg for men, 6kg for women. I didn't use any extra weight.
No holding the rails of the treadmill.
My heart rate topped out at 157 bpm. Speed was 4 mph.
I need to do this more often.

Thanks Patrick! JT used to call my muscle ups my superpower. He said we all have one.

Good work men.
Hell of a Kb swing and pushups you did Tim - i think i'm going to try a similar..

Tue 27 March

Easy swimming 500m
Some strech and watermassages at therapy pool afterwards

Sat 31 March

I was at a StreetWorkout course, 2hour session where we learned skills for muscleups, pullups, pushup variations,handstand learning, pistolsquats etc
Fun.

Sun 1 April

Pullover and press (holding one Kb with both hands)
8kg Kb: 20,15reps
16kg: 10,10reps
Kb swing:
8kg: 15,15reps
16kg 15,15reps
Muscle up practise -swing with rubberband
5,5,5reps
One arm row with Kb
32kg (ca70lbs) : 10,10,10,10,10reps
Floor press with KB's
24kg: 10,10reps
Kb swing
24kg: 12,12,12,12,12reps
Some strech and planking to finish.

Parick, your 10,8,6,4,2 deadlift reminded my deadlift program i used to do few years back. My goal was to do 5sets of 10reps with 140kg on
stiff leg/romanian deadlifts.
For example if you use 225lbs on the bar, do the first workout those 10,8,6,4,2 reps with 225lbs, next workout 10,10,8,6,4, next workout 10,10,10,8,6, next workout 10,10,10,10,8, and finally next workout 10,10,10,10,10reps. Then for next workout add weight some 20-25lbs and start again from 10,8,6,4,2 reps...
If you know your level right, and start from a good weight you can build to a record breaking 5sets of 10reps on 5 workout's time, or start slightly lighter and do two periods to build to your goal weight's 5sets of 10reps.
Worked very well for me, in the deadlifts and dumbell bench presses.

Mon 2April.
Snowing...does this never end and turn to spring..

Bike 15min
Some strech and mobility
Wod:
Three rounds of:
C2row 500m -> inchworm ca20m (65ft) ->
Ski Erg500m:
C2rows times:
- 2:14 min
- 2:08
- 2:01
SkiErg times:
- 2:21min

This was a good sequence to do the exercises, after the inchworm, the abs feel the work, then when you SkiErg you really feel a burn in the abs...good wod. I had a minute or two, rest between rounds.

Awesome work guys!! Congrats on the DL Patrick! I agree Jan! When will spring come?!? We had a beautiful Easter yesterday, today we woke to snow on the ground!! :snow:

I took most of last week off. But I kept up my burpees (Yay! Burpees!!) and dog walks. Had to have my 2nd colonoscopy done on Wednesday. Last time, I was clean. This time not so much. Got a couple of polyps and diverticulosis, so I'm on the 5 year plan. :shrug:

At least the nurse when taking my blood pressure told me, "Don't break the blood pressure cuff, muscles!" :rofl:
