11 days until first USAW meet.

Lots of mobility work, then 1 hour practicing snatch, including several drills.

Hit a PR 170# snatch today that might have counted in a comp, might have been a tiny little press out, only the judges could say for sure.

Then did 50 double unders.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

JT - Nice work on the snatch. Keep working that mobility. It seems to be the key to success. Wish I'd worked on it more through my lifetime. Every one of my parts and joints now is stiff and requires lots of work...

10/22
WU:
100 single unders; butt kicks; high knees; hip mobility; deadlift 45 X10/ 80, 95 X5/ 115 X3
Lift:
Deadlift 125, 145 X5/ 165 X10
Assist:
Toes 2 Bar X3X10; deadlift 95 X3X10

10/23 "Nothing Special"
Turkish get-ups and pull-ups
Realized I have done little supplemental core strength work since getting the husky puppy a year ago. Probably the reason I hurt my back. :(
Every time I get on the floor, our 70 lb ball of energy thinks it is another game with Daddy. I end up fending off the nibbling and pawing and it is impossible to get through a set. Decided that I'm going to shut him out of the gym for the time I need each day working on those items.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

@Cliff, ah yes, that moment during a WOD when you realize you've set it up all wrong and have to decide to stop, set it up right, and start over, or just keep going. Been there more than once!
