Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

@Cliff - You've definitely got the right plan for use of your son's room when he leaves. We converted a room over to be our "Gear Room" and have filled it with skis, snowshoes, hiking and motorcycle gear. Definitely gives me a good feeling every time I go in there to grab whatever is needed for the day's adventure.

11/29 1 mi dog walk and rest day

11/30
1 mi dog walk/ row 1000m/ I, Y, T, W X10/ T-spine mobility
OH press 35, 40 X5/ 50 X3/ 60 X8/ 70 X6/ 75 X13
Pull-downs 75, 95, 115 X12/ Band assist pull-ups X3X10
KB swings 35# X4X30/ 45# X22
Farmer's carry 140# X60 yds

12/1
Row 1000 m/ T-spine mobilization/ I, Y, T, W X10
Weighted walking lunges 20, 25, 30 X10 yds/ 50# X16, 20, 20 yds (was supposed to go up incrementally but realized that I went from 30 to 50 by mistake so I stayed with it.)
Turkish get-ups 12.5# X20

Following the modified Wendler approach has paid off. Weights are up on all lifts (deadlifts, bench, overhead press and weighted lunges) and shoulder pain is down as well as also now being able to do band assist pull-ups without pain. I think my previous approach was too much volume every workout. I've even made a lot of progress shoring up my weak side on the Turkish get-ups. It isn't a lot of weight but I'm no longer flopping around like a wounded fish when I try to do them with my right arm. :rofl:
