[B]Modified to 15-9-6, 8:00[/B]
Modified because I'm supposed to snatch tomorrow. Pushpress easy, all legit like Nick taught me, swings easy, but pullups at 162lbs - what a difference, just terrible!!! Had to break them, got down to singles. Popeye arms after, WOD reminded me of Horrible Helen, but pushpress makes it sooooo much better. Pushpress always makes my shoulders feel better somehow.
My friend told me take a contrast shower you'll be fine to snatch! Geez, they suck. WOD felt darn good though...

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Today we did pullups, weighted for those who have dead hang. Person assisted for those of us who don't have dead hang. This morning is the closest I've come to strict unassisted dead hang. I'm sure in another week I'll have them and be over joyed.

Deb you great on pull ups even if you did have to break them up!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Michelle, looks like you've had a day where the goal was to focus on a single movement to mastery. Love those days--rare.

Strength: Bench Press: 5X 170,195,225. W. two bands added for dymanic resistance.
Assist: Weighted dips: 5X 35, 45, 55, 60.

400m of lunges. Record # steps and time: 150 steps and 7:29.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Great work everybody!! Especially Deb & Michelle on the pull ups! As a friend of mine said, "I've got a 9 minute Fran, with 5 minutes staring at the pull up bar!"

Pat, you are awesome on those walking lunges!!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

My pullups are crap now, gotta get my kip back, i'm forgetting to push away at the top, and getting not that many great ones, back to ok im up here at the bar, but chin not over. OTOH I think they help my snatch. Go figure.

:mad:he stopped me. I KNOW can do @ least :censored: 45. He's probably figuring three steps forward, one step back... quit while we're ahead? I hope. I would go after that 43kg Saturday home or in the Shed; maybe. Thing is we don't have a real ladies bar or fractional weights.

Stayed lite, working still on ATA w/chest up elbows forward not back, don't sit in the bottom. My hips STILL want to go back on these. It doesn't feel like my muscles working hard b/c its heavy. I'm told I cant squat worth a s---t.

Oh yeah. My coach said I'm just weak! AND, got in trouble for CFing, not supposed to do KB swings. He said they'll mess up my oly, NO SWINGS.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Question:

I'm a little confused as to what I should do, my doc is telling me to take some time off: sprained ankle still a little sore, can't straighten my arms and my right shoulder is bothering me.

When I was younger, and dancing/teaching/rehearsing/performing, and taking daily class, I would get injured and keep going. That was well into my 40s, I feel I could do that now, modified of course. Doc feels, I'm not thinking this through. My thought is to go back to the gym ASAP, and let my body work itself out. Guys? Ladies?

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

[B]Wilfredo[/B] that depends. Can sense your disappointment, since an upper and lower body injury rules out so much.

When Im sore, a good pull on the rower, get some blood flow going usually helps flush that away, and a WOD is ok. I would try an epsom salt bath for general aches & pains, seems to work.

But, if it were me, I'd be cautious with the sprained ankle no point making it worse. Shoulder bothering you how? Bursitis, joint pain, muscle pain, limited ROM or what?

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

I don't press thru injuries anymore. I do exercise the parts that are not injured though. Yesterday is pulled something around the posterior delt doing weighted dips. I used much of the stuff from the Movement cert. to repair this AM. It's better but not gone. Since today was Deadlift day, I did have to worry about the shoulder. I even warmed up on the rower to check.

Strength: Deadlift: 5X 315, 355, 405.
Sissy Squat machine: 10X315, 400, 500.
Leg Press: 10X 315, 5X400.

Ran out of time and could not get to 2K row.
