7.5 or 8.5 rounds complete. Just got stupid somewhere thru and lost count. I felt ok with this when a guy half my age reported the same confusion.[/QUOTE]

:D. Ok I'm not the only one.... I've resorted to making little hash marks on the floor with chalk.

re: chalk hash marks on the floor....
yesterday I used the kids little plastic horses to count rounds.
I set them up on my box and put one in a hat after each round.
It was both pleasing and sad to see the little horsies disappear.

(early morning session)

2012 CrossFit Friendship Master's Challenge Skill Ladder
Y = completed
F = tried and failed
DNA = did not attempt

Y 1 minute goblet squat, 53#
Y 30 second front plank
Y 30 second left plank
Y 30 second right plank
Y 30 second bar hang
F 30 second handstand hold against wall (wasn't able to kick up onto wall)
F 30 dubs (only got 16)
Y 44# TGU (did two)
Y 3 dead hang pullups
Y 2 kipping ring dips
Y 5 one arm kb-ohs, 44#
F 2 skin the cats (forgot to try these)
S 5 pistols (scaled to 24" box)
F 1 20’ rope climb (no rope available)
DNA 3 hspu
DNA 5 yard handstand walk
Y 10 second l-sit
DNA 1 muscle up

It was early morning, and I forgot to set my equipment up properly before the attempts. So I was rushing to raise/lower rings. I bought a rope for the barn but forgot to put it up. Will try this again next weekend (and every weekend until the October comp) to find my goats (it won't be a difficult search, they've been the same for years) and work on them. I really liked the idea of doing pistol progressions to a box. Each week/month you lower the box a little until you don't need it at all.

MONDAY– AUGUST 26, 2013

Strength

15 Minutes To Fine Heaviest Bench Press Rep

stopped at 315 as my shoulder was killing me....it's always something!

WOD

5 Rounds: 16:16

5 Hang Power Clean and jerk (from just above knee) @ 60% 1RM. Kept it to 135 due to shoulder

400 Meter Run

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

8/24 WOD

Four rounds for time:
Teams of two split the work
400M run (both run)
20 front squats (135/95)
30 push ups
40 Med ball sit ups

22:something I think; with Augie.
A little worried about the 135 front squats but we decided to do them anyway. My sets were 10, 10, 5-5. Pushups 15 straight through, all partner med ball sit ups straight through except when the slippery ball slipped out of my hands. Augie thanked me for going slow on the runs for him. No problem, I went slow just for you. *Ironic wink*


8/25 workout @ Bacara

10 handstand push ups
10 double unders
8 handstand push ups
20 double unders
6 handstand push ups
30 double unders
4 handstand push ups
40 double unders
2 handstand push ups
50 double unders

13:00
Spent probably half the time on the sets of 8 and 6 HSPU's. No mat except I could not get the last 4 on the round of 6 so I had to grab a mat, but I ditched it for last two rounds. D/u's only went OK. Strung 30 straight on round of 50 for my longest string.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Great work everyone! Back from two weeks of camping in southern CO. We alternated hiking and mountain bike riding each day. Great break from work and my back feels better than it has in quite a while. Guess it is time to start deadlifting again and tweak it. :rofl:

8/26

Row 1000m; straddle hops; air squats
Lift:
Shoulder press 45 X10/ 60, 75, 90, 105. 120 X5

Shoulder press 75 X2X10
Pull-ups X2X6

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

8/26 WOD
A. Push Press, 15:00 to work up to a 3RM in 5 sets
135 (failed at 145, 1 only)

B. EMOTM, 8:00, 5 Hang Power Snatch
75, last set 80

+
6 rounds for reps per movement:
:30 max single/double unders
:30 rest
:30 no pushup burpees (jump on to plate)
:30 rest

255.
Not really happy with this number. Burpees were 10-12 per interval, double unders were upper-20’s to mid-30’s per interval. Lots of misses.

Going into the WOD I know I had done 30 HSPU’s yesterday so I was not surprised my push presses were only so-so. I forgot that this was my 4th consecutive workout, so I was not at my freshest. Plan for rest of week leading up to Pier to Peak is to rest Tuesday, WOD Wednesday and Thursday, then rest until Sunday. Lots of stretching and rolling out in the meantime.
