Tuesday September 4, 2012
Supervised warmup Pushups, dislocates, wall slides (a shoulder and back mobility thing) Strength 12 minutes to find 1RM of strict press 165# WOD 3 rounds of: 1 minute of pullups (10, 11, 12) 1 minute of pushups (20, 21, 23) 1 minute of burpees (8, 9, 5) 2 minutes of double unders (21, 22, 31) 1 minute of rest Then practiced rope climbs. |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
9/4 WOD
Max unbroken MU’s Got 2 several times, never 3. Campbell pointed out if I come down butt-first, that starts my next big kip. Box Squats 5–5–5–5–5 135-185-215-225 Went down to benchpress bench. Worked with Amber, only time for 4 sets. Wish there was more time, I could have gone a little heavier. Followed by: “Goat” 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Burpees Your Goat 13:54 (very slow, but I was not working on speed) I took the Goat concept seriously and went for squat snatches @ 75#, one at a time. Still problems with hip extension, but felt I was pulling myself under the bar a couple of reps. This was a worthwhile chance to get in lots of reps of a problematic movement.

[QUOTE=JT Kalnay;1090909]still working to get that first muscle up...[/QUOTE]
Got my first one a few months ago. You are probably getting all kinds of tips, here is what worked for me. First, use a false grip. Second, do a massive kip. Idea is to get your hips up as high as they need to be with the kip, even to ring height. Your back will probably be parallel to the floor at this moment. Seriously, get your hips HIGH. Third, pull your head and shoulders FORWARD, not up. You will try to trace your thumbs under your pecs as others advise, but you are doing that to pull your head and shoulders through the rings, not up. (Your "upness" happens because of your huge kip.) Good luck! Claw |

“Cinque Helen” 5 x Every 5 min Complete: 400 M Run 21 Kettle Bell Swings 12 Pullups Subbed 500M rows for 400M runs. Forgot to record times, but the main thing was I sat out Round 3. :( Feeling very tired and uninspired today, from the moment I woke up, as I got ready and drove in, as I warmed up, and even as I started. After two rounds I was ready to quit. THANK YOU Christina for telling me just to sit out Round 3. I got back in saddle and did Rounds 4 and 5, and the decided to make up my missed round right after. My kb swings and pull ups broken into small sets and my rows were terribly slow, but I finished it. Claw |

9/8 WOD (Saturday)
4 rounds for reps of the following, no break between stations: Competition push-ups One armed kettlebell snatches (1 pood) Box jumps (30 inches) PVC overhead squats Rest 110, 115, 100, 102 reps per round Score one for the old guys. MikeMacSB had the highest score, followed by Masters Augie and me. This was a fun WOD, giving me the butt kicking I needed. 9/9 Sunday workout at Bacara Weighted pull ups 5-3-2-2-1-1 15-25-35-45-55(fail)-50 Done with supine grip. The first few rounds I held dumbbells with my toes, then as bells started to slip off feet I tied the dumbbells around my waist. Proceeded to bang my bruised shin split with the swinging bell, causing great deal of pain Followed by 25-15-9 100# Power cleans Push ups 5:19 Took a few more breaks than I wanted, but overall pleased with this time for a first try at this WOD which I made up. 9/10 WOD “Push Press Medley” 10 at 30% 10 at 40% 10 at 50% 10 at 60% ME at 70% (~90 sec rest between) Based percentages off of 160# (45-60-80-95-115). 6 @ 115# Followed by “Sticks and Balls” 25-20-15-10-5 Wall Balls (20/14#) 5-10-15-20-25 PVC Sit ups (feet anchored) 7:25 Had a real hard time with the wall balls, struggled even to string five together by the end. PVC sit ups also became difficult starting at around of 20, I needed to break up both rounds of 20 and 25.

9/12 WOD
400 M Run time trial Subbed 500 M row: 1:44.7 This was about 3.5 seconds off my PR. Thought I had done better. 10 Rounds For Time 5 Hang Power Snatch (75#/55#) 10 Med Ball V-Twists (R/L=1) 200 M Run Subbed 250 M row for run: 22:16 Subbing rowing for running really increases the time and effort of this WOD. I finished last in class, and was about one-third again as long the fastest times. All HPS's straight through, med ball V-twists were usually broken around 14-6. Very humid and sweaty made just hanging on to the med balls tricky. Rows were where most of time was taken, although my last row was at a 1:55 pace, which was fast for me. Nice big class this morning. Link to whiteboard (WFS): [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/93561498@N00/7979540215/[/url] Claw |

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
last nite was a logging show in the drive way
2 chainsaws running 2 people moving rounds 2 cords cut done in under an hour then my son and i stacked it all by about 7 p.m. and had the drive way swept so we could park in it again. i knew it needed to be split and was feeling pretty good still and my wife was susposed tobe home from work just after 8 so i figured i would do an hour of splitting with the axe. so i told myself i would quit when she got home. she did not tell me she was working late last nite. i split wood until about 8:45 and had to quit cause i was bagged. i got close to 1 1/2 cords split in that time however. i think my wife and i were both surprised that i was able to get as much done as i did. i totaly credit crossfit for my being able to do what i did last nite. even though i feel rough this morning i would not be able to even move if i had not been doing what we do on a nightly basis at class for almost the last 3 years. plus 4 brisket on the smoker for buddy's 50th. :pepper::pepper: gonna be a great off weekend. keep up the hard work everybody |
