crazy 45 minute wod there jim!

yesterday at the box was spent entirly on snatch with pvc. i think most of us were getting quite good by the end.

then choice either 4 minutes of double unders or a 1000m row.

since i suck at double unders i chose the 1000m 3:42

wondering what todays adventure will bring.........

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In

12/15 WOD

“Helen”
3 Rounds for Time of:
400 M Run
21 Kettelbell Swings (1.5/1)
12 Pull Ups

12:15 as Rx'd. Nearly a minute slower than back in June, that's not good. Runs slow, only the first round of KB swings done unbroken, and the outside pull-up bars were wet, making grip a real challenge (no more than 6 consecutive at any time). I have got to get my metcon kicked back into gear.

car trouble, car warranty problems, yikes! couldn't go to gym. Maybe some extra rest will be ok!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

[B]Michelle[/B] no need to feel intimidated. The scaling is the beauty part. The important part is you got it done & good on ya! :) (I scaled today can't do chest to bar and the 24 kg would kill me for deadlifts on Friday).

I swung the guys 70# kb today - hysterical!! American swings, 2-3x - when that thing's coming down, it's [B]COMING DOWN!!![/B] Almost pulled me into an involuntary forward roll!! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Wow William, sorry to hear that - hope everything works out ok.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

michelle---don't worry about scaling. the important thing is that you are out there doing it.

12x2...16"box squat 185 lbs

10-5-10 big *** green band good mornings on mid height bar

then

21-15-9

225 dead lift and modified push ups which turned into air squats when i tweaked my elbow on the pushups (which i find out afterwards it is a pinched tendon...just spent the last hour with an ice pack on)

6:42 with time included to assess my elbow and change to air squats.

morning work out was 14 minutes of upper body sled pull work with 45 lbs on the sled.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Hey thanks for asking about me Deb I am taking off till Monday ( I hope)
last WOD was 12/10 pulled something in my back moving the basketball Hoop out of the drive Sunday when it blew over in the snow storm, so I need a rest anyway, my body tells me. Glad the thing did not fall on a car when it blew over.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

[b]William[/b] I hope all is ok with your son and extended family.

[B]Thanks to all[/B] for your comments on scaling. I'm moving my way up the scales slowly but surely. And thanks for posting your WOD's.
