One Saturday I will!! I'm making it my mission to hit all the nearby affiliates at least once.

Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

Cool! I need to check out the one(s) there in Tracy and go see Nick/Terry/Danny's new box (CrossFit Excel) in Manteca. I went several times when they were still in Escalon.

Have you been to CF Modesto yet?

Not yet, that's next on my list. I went to Excel just this past Saturday. Got to meet Terry's wife. Great lady. I haven't been to the one in Tracy yet either and it's only down the street. :o

Edit: never mind I see the Tracy one is shutting down.

[I][B]100518 TUESDAY

[/B][/I][B][I]Warm-up:
[/I][/B]1 mile walk (about 400m) / run (the rest)
DROM
Shoulder pass throughs
Body circles X x 2
Trunk rotations
15 Hip extensions
15 GHD sit-ups
15 Air squats
10 Pull-ups (subbed ring rows)
10 Ring dips (subbed bar dips and cranked off 10 in a row......Where did those come from?)

[I][B]WOD: From CF Football: Pat Tillman Hero WOD - - Seven Rounds for Time of:
[/B][/I]7 Dead Lifts X 315# (255# --> 225#)
1 Full Gasser (48 or 53 yds X 4) - - we subbed 200m sprint
15 Pull-ups
[B]TIME: 25:36
[/B][I]This may have been the most difficult WOD I've ever done.
[B]D/Ls:[/B] Began with 255# X 2 Rds - - Felt my back round and some pulling in one of my hamstrings, so scaled down to 225#
[B]Runs:[/B] I could barely pick up my feet, let alone run.....more like shuffles...
[B]Pull-ups:[/B] 1st Rd; 15 unbroken, 2nd thru 5th rds; sets of 10, then 5. Rd 6, 9, then 6. Rd 7; 6, 4, 3, 1, 1.

I really like this WOD; it's a great tool for gauging overall fitness via the CF methodology. Gonna make this one my friend.....
[/I]

Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

Congrats on completing Tillman. The DLs, even scaled, are high enough rep count to where it takes every last ounce of will power to complete. :highfive::notworth: to you for paying respects to RIP Pat Tillman in such a warrior-like manner.

Your posterior chain is so whipped, that doing DLs at any weight are a major challenge. I'm glad to see that you are looking forward to trying this one out again. Personally, I think Tillman would be a fantastic final event to any CF Games event. Stagger the starts, like in 2008, and go!


EDIT: BTW Steve, have you checked out this guy's log? I was drawn to his log because of the title, and think you might hve some things in common with Tony. You're pretty close in age/weight to this guy, too.

Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

Dave,

Thanks so much for the props....I'd sure like to improve the running portion of this WOD. I think my problem is probably related to the relative weakness of my posterior chain and its inability to work efficiently when taxed. I need to throw in some weekly heavy squat and or DL work.....

Thanks for the suggestion to look up Tony's log. He's done an inspirational and outstanding job in such a short time. And the title of his log is certainly fitting.....
