Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

@Cliff, thanks, that what I need to keep reminding myself, plan the work, work the plan, don't get caught up in what's going on around me.

Tuesday October 28, 2014

Walked .8 miles downhill to the box
stretched, rolled, swung a light kettlebell
walked .8 miles uphill in the rain

At first walking home in the rain made me feel tough, but then it just made me feel wet and miserable...

10/22 WOD
A. Tabata Sit Ups
11. Lagged too much at start

80 MB V-Twists (20#/14#)
10 Unbroken Pull Ups
1:20 Unbroken Elbow Plank
10 Unbroken Pull Ups

10/26 workout (Grand Californian Hotel gym)
10 RFT
Go unbroken with
8 double dumbbell front squats
20M farmers carry.
6:12 with 25# dumbbells
Was really worried about grip so went too light. WOD is designed for only 8 rounds but I added two more because of the light weights. Followed by:

1-2-3... to 10.
1 pushup, stand up, drop down,
2 pushups, etc. to 10
1:52.


10/28 WOD
A. Romanian Deadlifts (3121) 3-5 reps. 5 sets @90 sec rest
125, 135, 155

B. AMRAP 20 Min
10 OH Walking Lunges w/ Plate (45#/25#)
2 Bar Muscle Ups - 6 C2B Pull Ups
:30 Handstand Hold
9 rounds plus 10 OH lunges. Did C2B’s. Was very pleased with my performance. All handstand holds unbroken except the 9th one.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Nice stuff, guys!

JT - Shouldn't you have walked uphill BOTH ways? :rofl:

[B]WU:[/B]
400m run
100+ SUs
10 Leg swings, each leg, both directions
10 Air squats
10 PVC Pass throughs
10 Helicopters
10 PVC OHS

[B]WOD:[/B]
3RFT:
10 115# Shoulder to Overhead
20 115# Back Squats
400m Run

16:55

[I]The shoulder to overheads were tougher than I thought. I broke each set into about 3 subsets. Jerks and push presses helped, but that made the Back Squats harder and then, the runs were even worse. The 1st two rounds, I did in about 5 1/2 min and the last was a little slower. I had the slowest time on the board, but it still wasn't a bad WOD.[/I]

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

in my day it was certainly uphill both ways in the rain.......:D

JT....you are at that comp for your self....do what you plan to do and if you happen to end up with one of those shinney things to hang around your neck you will have then had an even better day....

last nite


5 rounds for time of:
*in pairs
500m Row
500m Airdyne (so after a bit of pushing buttons i realize our airdyne only had miles on kilometers on it so i go to the coach and ask him if doing .3 of a mile which is 480 meters would work for him. he says sure. i do the first airdyne for .3 and my buddy who i have know for 20 years and who got me into xfit was on the rower. we switch and off he goes on the airdyne....he gets his .3 in and just as the coach is walking by says "boy that was not to bad".....wrong comment.....we ended up doing the next 4 rounds at .5 of a mile or 800 meters.)

22:45


Oblique Barbell Crunches: 5 min....mega bow bar.

a bit sore this morning

keep up the great work guys!!!!!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

10/29 WOD
A. Tabata Hollow

B. EMOM 8: 4-6 Power Snatches For Form @ No Heavier Than 50% of 1RM
Started at 65, went to 75. My one-rep max is 135 (only once in my life and with terrible form) so I went heavy, but they felt really good. Worked on rocking forward on toes to stimulate opening my hips.

C. Monthly Throwdown 2K Row F.T.
8:26.9.
Not good. Started slow so as to leave something in the tank, but I got in a groove with a 2:04-2:09 pace and could not break out of it.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Thanks Cliff, that's exactly the right idea.
And Bill, yes, come to think of it, it was uphill both ways, into the wind, and snowing, not raining, which I noticed b/c I didn't have any shoes....

Wednesday October 29, 2014

4 days until American Championships.

Am in the taper.

snatches
3x45
3x75
3x105
1x135
1x155

C&J
3x135
3x165

Rowed 1000m in just under 4 minutes.

Then, I was stupid. I had a lot of energy so I did 10 unbroken kipping pullups after doing 5 unbroken strict pullups. Now my biceps hurt. Stupid stupid stupid. Tomorrow will be a complete rest day, Friday a travel day, and then competing from 3-5pm on Saturday.
