Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
hey steve!!!
love your work... love your work... I'm definitely feeling the cert now... combined that with heavy BS and light grace last night, I'm ready to lay in an ice bath!!! jeez.... that's pretty impressive bench press work!! Carter |
Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
Thank you Carter. You made my day seem more worthwhile.
Thanks for the encouragement on the BP work. I'm really weak there, tho CF has made it possible to make up a lot of ground. Hoping to get up to my BW soon.... Surprised you didn't feel the cert earlier. With all the stuff you did, I thought you were another one of those CFers who felt no pain......:D |

Perhaps I'm being optimistic or stupid (for a bloke my age), but I'd like to push for a 2 X BW DL, (eventually) a 1.5 X BW bench press, and the like. I'd love to work up to 135# thrusters for reps (so Fran is easier). Figure, if I don't tax the bod, it isn't going to happen. Gonna have to give this probably a couple of years, but I'm definitely game. |

Thanks, ET. Yup - - definitely sucked! I am still basking (is that the right word?) in all I learned at the cert. It has already helped me by leaps and bounds. OHS are feeling solid for the first time since I started CF nearly 6 mos ago...... Still stoked!! :pepper: |

burping FRAN!!! that WOD is killer enough without the burpees!!! good work tho... great time..... intensity is the key to this exercise!!! with your goals... I got the same goals too!!! 2 x BW deadlift. Being older, I'm taking the wiser route and working my way to it... I do aim for 3 reps each tho... I'm not a big believer of the 1rm... Carter |

Overhead squats.....I'll have to try those. Thanks for the inspiration. I'll start out with no weight and then also try to add really slowly. :)

It is said that working at 90% of your 1RM ennervates all the muscle fibers, much like a max effort. For some people, the 90% mark is around a 3RM; for others, it's around a 2RM. However, I suspect it's not that neat - that while there may be diminishing returns as you get closer to your true max, there's still stimulus there that is not available at even slightly lower weights. However, working your max with any degree of regularity is going to burn you out, so settling for 90% seems the smart thing to do. I actually popped over here to talk box squats, after your comment on my log. I found them particularly helpful for developing the posterior chain connection for my LBS, which is the application for which Louis Simmons programs them. For a HBS, you could get much the same benefit working BTB squats or simply starting from the pins at the bottom (provided they adjust to the right height). I'm by no means recommending against them, just offering some context. John Barney was doing the box squats with me, and he's a high-bar squatter. You can ask him if he thought the cycle of them helped. I suspect he's unsure, but we were doing light DE sets, which is different from standard heavy squats on two counts. |

I have to agree with you on the tendency to burn one's self out with any regularity on max efforts. I did not realize just how hard this "jars" one's CNS until I hit my 1RM DL PR the week after my cert. I was useless for the regular WOD I tried to do the next day..... I would like to experiment with some 3RM or so work and really learn to recruit the prime movers for all the oly lifts. I'm willing to take my time though and ensure that I keep solid form all the way..... As for the box squats, thanks for your additional input. I would like to work toward eventually being able to master the LBS - - I like Coach Rip's take on one's ability to actually lift more from that position once the flexibility is there and one learns to really recruit their posterior chain. As a starting point, my HBS actually felt pretty solid for the first time, so now all I have to do is get flexible.......easier said than done. Shoulder pass throughs and other flexibility exercises, anyone? |

Delita[/quote] Delita, you are so welcome! You seem to be consistent to me - - you are definitely pushing yourself and continue to inspire the socks right offa me! Goblet squats are a great posterior chain builder and I would imagine you have the shoulder flexibility (as do most women) which will allow you to keep the bar/PVC directly overhead and in your frontal plane. If you can master the form in the OHS, you've got your core-to-extremity work basically "nailed" for the oly lifts - - particularly where anything is going overhead. |

If that HBS is solid, you should absolutely work it and focus on developing strength. No sense reinventing the wheel. Besides, the HBS builds more directly off the squat fundamentals that you just picked up at the cert, so go with it. As to flexibility, dislocates (pass-throughs) with an active shoulder are great. Focus on keeeping a firm grip on the dowel and working through the sticking points diligently. My shoulder mobility drills include these plus unweighted shoulder presses where I focus on an active shoulder at the top and focus on pushing the elbows forward at the bottom while simultaneously resting the bar on the shoulders, which stretches a different part of the shoulder. The last piece of my shoulder mobility drills are [URL="http://gymnasticbodies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1191"]wall slides [/URL](wfs). One other favorite flexibility drill is Coach Boz's OHS drill. Melissa Byers brought these back from San Fransisco last Spring, and I did them almost every day over the summer and they helped tremendously both with shoulder and hip flexibility. She just posted [URL="http://byerscrossfit.blogspot.com/2009/03/coach-boz-ohs-warm-up.html"]a description of the drill on her blog [/URL](wfs). Of course, the real reason I popped in this morning was to respond to a post you made on Keith's log: [QUOTE=Stephen R. Lampl;543868]Nice work, Keith, no matter how much time it actually took.

You are truly making inspirational progress and your willingness to take it easy and really learn the ropes (as I am trying to do) is already paying off in leaps and bounds. Things you've repeatedly done such as the Burgener Warm-up do nothing but reinforce correct, functional lifting rudiments which will actually carry you through several of the different oly lifts. You will not believe what happens to your weight lifting ability as you progress. Additionally (I may have said this, and I mean it in a good way), with your having carried additional weight all this time, you have a greater physical strength base on which to build than someone your age (and younger too!) whose musculature has not had to support the additional weight. You are going to start "killing it!" Here are those links you requested, courtesy of Patrick....

Nancy, Gee,[I][B] I wish[/B][/I] you were correct.....the first numbers were my bench presses.....I think I am permanently stuck with 4s and 5s for my dead hangs.....doesn't matter whether pronated, supinated, or close grip.....BLEH! :ranting2: |
Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
good effort on the WOD stephen...
keep working on those deadhangs... strength will come eventually... have you considered using bands for that little bit of assistance. I have found that the stimulus from bands as compared to a gravitron machine is much much better.. cheers... carter |
