Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Deb--your time on the WOD was great. Seems I start workouts like that with a goal of one round per minute and then.........


Did the mobility WOD---helped w. deads.

Wendler Wave 3 DL: 5X325, 3X365, 1X415 (3R).

"Nancy"(scale)

5 rounds for time of:
400 meter run(Bike)
95 pound Overhead squat, 15 reps(45#--the bar).

My form on OHS sucks so bad that I must work w. little or no weight to get close to good form. Finished in 10:19. This included a few trots across the gym to go from free weight area to bikes. Maybe I should try doing this with db's?

Speaking of missing members, I seem to be in one of the longest runs of almost uninterrupted periods of exercise. Minor cold, some travel, otherwise I have been able to keep to my 4X/weeks schedule for months. I always feel that my greatest gains are during periods like these. I wish everyone this much success.

Thank you [B]Pat[/B]. I notice you're doing very well as usual.
Quick question for you 5/3/1 guys - on your last $$ set, where you're trying to do as many reps as possible, what's like a max rest between reps? Even though Im not flying or doing touch & go reps for instance on deads, I stop b/c I get breathy, not always a strength thing.

I think the shoulder hurts but the problem is the trap!! I dont know how to stretch that muscle well, feels like it needs trigger point tough spot to hit though.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Wendler recommends doing as many reps as possible on the last set. Surprisingly, he does not advocate doing this to absolute failure. Just as many as you can handle in succession. So in the last session, I remained in the down position at the end of each DL. Given the weight, I did check my posture, grip. I did not stand up for a breather.

Joined Tribal Fitness in Phx. for Saturday workouts. Jake Priest runs the place. He is a great coach.

After warm up of dynamic movements, 2 R of 10 Pull ups, push ups, sit ups, and squats.

OH Squat practice.

WOD: AMRAP in 12 minutes of 3 dead hang pull ups, Run 50m, 3 HSPU. I used the wall for HSPU's and did my slow shuffle for running. Finished 9R+3 Pull ups, and partial run.

Wendler wave 3 OH Press: 5X135,3X155,1X170(4R).

Jake Priest's wife, Rebecca, just opened Ahwatukee Crossfit. It is the first women's only crossfit affiliate. Good luck to Rebecca. My wife is taking advantage of the grand opening special of 1 month for $75.:highfive:

Hey everyone. Just hit the big five-oh so thought I'd check in. You are doing some impressive work!

[B][U]November 14[/U][/B]
[U]Tough Mudder Training (Tapering)[/U]
Ran 6 miles (250' hill at start, then easy terrain for last 4 miles). Mixed in 40 rungs on the monkey bars as I ran by the school.
Stretched legs
Dead Hang Pullups: 5, 5, 11
Shoulder Press: 45#x10, 95#x5, 110#x3, 125#x3, 140#x4
Stretched shoulders

Correction to yesterday's entry: I did 3 sets of 5 DH pull-ups in my warm-up, not 3 sets of 45. I also forgot to mention that I golfed 9 holes carrying clubs after the workout.

My right knee hurt a bit on the downhill sections of the first half of the run today, but felt ok by the end. Just old guy aches and pains. Finished off with a nice brisk pace. My watch should be back from the shop this week so I can start timing my runs again.
