Nice job on the HSPU's Bill

Back Squat
Push Press
= 1 Rep

7 reps of the above without takin hands off the bar until after the 7th rep.

I felt like I dogged it. Very protective of my back. Watching the dudes max at 170. :notworth:

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

great work everybody. some truly inspriring numbers

sunday

hill climb up and down... 2500 feet elevation gain/loss 55 minutes...not sure of the length but when i got back to the parking lot and was waiting for my ride i read the stuff in the map kiosk. it said to allow for 2 to 2 1/2 hours round trip so i guess 55 minutes is an o.k. time.

yesterday packed drywall for 6 hours then at the gym

amrap 20 minutes

10-24 k.g. bamboo bench press
10-25 lb per side dbell bent over rows
5 perside pistols

7 2/3 rounds

then 10 hours of sleep

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

10/4 WOD

6 Rounds for Time:
5 Handstand Push Ups
10 Clapping Push Ups
15 Sumo Deadlift Highpulls with a KB
20 Jump Lunges
25 Mountain Climbers

18:00 with one pad on HSPU and 1.5 pood kettlebell. This one looked long on the whiteboard and it was. Good news is all HSPU's went straight through, bad news is after the first round my head rarely or never went all the way down to the pad. Clapping push ups devolved to push up, clap, then collapse to elbows, and repeat. All other exercises were broken up, except I did a couple rounds of mountain climbers straight through, including last set. Those can go really fast, but they suck the life out of me. Ditto for jump lunges. Big class this morning, good job by Christina as coach keeping everybody on schedule.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

william i just look at it as a warm up for the wod. :) i think my times have suffered a bit due to the drywall packing but i sure am enjoying my job again. it is great to be back out on jobsites and away from the office. and proving to the young kids that the old guy can still kick there butts!!

today the old guys rocked the box

5-10-15
back squats/box jumps
RX 225 lbs and 24"

me 5:36 rx
my buddy who is 54 4:57 rx (he is only 5' 7" so the 24" box jump is huge for him)

when i left the box tonite we had the 2 fastest times so far for the men at RX and even some of the fastest times for the men who scaled this one.:pepper::broc::broc::pepper:

1 clean/miss/(pclean) 2 Jerks
1 clean/miss/(pclean) 2 Jerks[/INDENT]First clean was fine, wasnt getting a bounce w/second. Joe said wasnt keeping my back tight. Why is cleaning so much harder than front squat?? Powercleaning this is like nothing.

I saw 67 and thought everything on here is heavier than granny is used to, but this & pcleaning was the easiest thing I did tonite. I forgot to point my elbows out, and still wondering why shrug after we're extending the bar up w/hips, Bob Giordano told Platt in front of me (Platt wasn't pulling, [B]I[/B] was, so I assume he meant it for me), don't SHRUG the bar up, its not a shrug - you power it from hips. Last nite Pete was telling his lifter TO shrug. I just did how Nick has seen me do, he told me emulate Mr. G. but he wasnt there to ask!!)
[I][COLOR="Red"][B]"focus on Deb, I will tell you who and what to emulate"[/B][/COLOR][/I] I'm the horse, just chattel anymore! :D

rep 3 didnt catch the bounce

Press from Snatch Squat Position[/B]
20kg/6 (3)
no bouncing and no big deal.

Lot of missing last nite, my jerks weren't that great at 50. But everybody was missing, the guys had snatch off blocks at 110 or so.
And 2+2 c&j at 45 3 weeks ago I struggled the same way, now I can do 50, going to be positive and call it progress. Weird I dont feel these in my legs when I do them, Pete asks do my knees hurt (not at all) its more keeping my back up and like Joe said, my 'tight.'

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Deb,thanks for putting up all the process material from your work outs. It's not all about the numbers.

Bench day: multiple light sets of push ups and presses of lighter weights using bands. 3X 245, 255, 265 (4R). Good to have Coach Chadd to spot for me on the last set.

WOD: 10 RFT
113m run
10 pull ups
113 run
10 bur pees.
Scale 5R in 25:38.
