Finished up the remainder of today's 93 Burpees (Yay! Burpees!!) for the CFWP Burpee (Yay! Burpees!!) Challenge!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Bill, congrats on Helen improvement!

11/3 WOD (Saturday)
50-40 Squat cleans (45#)/Sit ups/one 200 meter run
30-20-10 Push ups/Jump lunges/one 200 meter run (not after last round of 10)
Partner WOD, each does the number of reps but only one works at a time except for run.

25:23
Worked with Big Phil. Fun one. Announced on board as only squat cleans and sit ups, changed during WOD to last sets being push ups/jump lunges. That sped things up a bit.

11/4 workout @ Bacara
5 x 3 low bar back squats
185-205-215-215-225
The only bar at Bacara is on a Smith machine, and I had avoided it for a while, but I really need more strength work, so figured it was better than nothing. I set a low chair under me and tapped it each time, ensuring full ROM. The weights were light but I wanted to make sure I went deep enough.

5 x 3 weighted dips
25-30-35-40-50(f, 2 only)
Good ROM here too, made sure my elbow angle passed 90 degrees on each dip.

11/5 WOD
Clean High Pull
3-3-3-3-3
95-95-95-115-115
Actually did a lot more than 5 sets of 3. Kept weight light and really worked on popping hips. Poppled so well I knocked my Johnson one rep.

7 Min AMRAP
30 Double Unders
100 M Farmers Carry
4 rounds exactly with 1.5 pood kettlebells on Farmer's Carry.

3 Min rest
5 Min AMRAP
10 Wall Balls (20#/14#)
10 Russian Kettlebell Swings (2pd/1.5pd)
4 rounds.
This was really a gasser! Wall balls deteriorated to just a couple at a time and kettlebell swings done in sets of 5 very quickly into the AMRAP

william....ya gotta try rock climbing...squamish is a rock climbing mecca and i blew off rock climbing for years as something i would never try. then about 8 or 9 years ago a friend who is a guide took me up the face of the chief [url]www.stawamuschiefpark.ca[/url] (wfs) which is the second largest granite monolith in the world. i think it was something like 10 or 12 pitches. i was hooked after that.

as i have gotten stronger in crossfit i find i enjoy climbing more. still suck at it :) however as i am not one to stand around and think a move through but rather try to power my way onto the next one.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Cliff - My hat's off to you on the rock climbing. I like hiking i the high country but there is a point of "vertical" where I am really uncomfortable. I was ok with heights until I decided to try skydiving years ago; now I can't stand seeing a whole lot of air between me and the ground. :eek:

11/6
Warmup: Row 700m; Abmat sit-ups; weighted back extensions; ring pull-ups; back squats 45, 85, 105X5/ 130X3
Lift: Back squats 140, 160X5/ 180X7
Assist: Back squats 105#X3X10
Skills: 45# clean & jerk/ 45# snatch

Squats were hard today. Guessing it is a carryover from Sunday's bike ride. Near the end of that ride, the climbs started getting to me; felt like my brakes were on. ;)

Election Day

Walked half a mile to the polling place, voted, walked home.

@William:
There is an excellent rock climbing gym in Dayton where you can try it out.
[url]http://urbankrag.com/[/url]

Also, living in Dayton you are pretty close to decent outdoor climbing at John Bryant State Park, and to world class climbing at the Red River Gorge in Kentucky.

@Cliff:
You made up that name for climbing right? :)
Squamish is big medicine, and a world class climbing destination.
Glad you got to enjoy it.

Todays WOD:
At the box:
Rowing and walking lunges to warm up.
Then...
Rowed 1500 in 6:09
Did weighted situps and toes to bar.
Then...

Rowed 250, 10x225# deads, 5 3 mat HSPU
Rowed 200, 8x225# deads, 4 3 mat HSPU
Rowed 150, 6x225# deads, 3 3 mat hspu
Rowed 100, 4x225# deads, 2 3 mat hspu
Rowed 100, 2x225# deads, 1 3 mat hspu

Then, since I was feeling saucy, I kicked off my shoes and got a 2 ab mat HSPU! Won't be long now until it's a zero mat HSPU!!!!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

JT you are right. i don't think there is a climb named the face of the cheif. if i remember right we strung together 5 or so routes to make it up the face.

squamish is a great place to live. in the summer we have at least one squamish "tri" day if not more but they are tough to pull together.

breakfast in the smoke bluffs for a couple hours of climbing, then lunch followed by a couple hours of either mountain biking or hiking to a lake for a swim followed by a late afternoon snack then 9 holes of golf and dinner.

tonite at the gym

100m hard as you could row

then the clock started 30 135lb zerker squats w/ 500 m row

3:30

then 25 minutes streching. tonite was a reminder why not to eat a yam and half less than an hour before class. did not really feel all that great after that one.:D

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

recently rejoined my old gym to teach my grandsons to swim. I'll have to go back and do some rock climbing.

Wednesday at Tribal. Always a Hero.

"Ship"
9rft

7 Cleans @ 185
8 Burpee box jumps on 36" box

Scale: Power cleans@135, 24" box.
32:48. Very tough!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

11/7 WOD

8 Rounds For Time
3 Handstand Push Ups
10 Box jumps (24″/20″)
200 M Run

14:18
This was a fun WOD! All HSPU's strict and unbroken except for 7th round (1 kip) and 8th round (3 kips). Box jumps have been a little slower lately because I am stepping down with alternate feet instead of jumping down. A little less wear and tear on knees. Got lapped by Shane on 7th run -- he was really moving. Ran hard my last lap and full-on sprinted last 50 meters or so.

Warm up involved leap frogs, worked with Alex. Very lucky (1) I did not bash my crotch on his head and (2) I did not stamp his fingers on landing. (Alex is tall. That knowledge is helpful to appreciate the humor of my post.)
