Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Hi Helen, I like JT's recommendation. I try to vary lifting days with swim days.
JT, nice C&J.

Bench day: 5X185,210,235.
5X10 Bent Rows w. 185
5X10 Dips

Just like BS day. My energy was low for heaviest lift. I feel ok. Sleep has been interrupted regularly. Have a new book that I am using when I do not return to sleep. Actually enjoying it. A biography of Jennie Churchill---Winston's mother. Finished the Churchill Factor last week and I guess I did not get enough of Churchill's.:D

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Great Work guys!! Congrats on the DL PR Cliff!

[B]WU:[/B]
500m row
100+ SUs
10 leg swings, each leg, both directions
10 Air Squats
30 sec fingertip plank
10 Burpees (Yay! Burpees!!)
10 45# Push Press

[B]WOD:[/B]
25 min AMRAP:
135# Thrusters, 5 Reps
10 C2B
400m run

Did "As High as I can get 'em" Pull Ups

3 rounds + 5 thrusters +10 "As High as I can get 'em" Pull Ups + ~125m run

[I]I was worried about the thrusters, but they weren't as bad as I thought. However, they took a lot out of me. I ended up doing the PUs one at a time. (Some were decent C2Bs!) Again, I could feel them before the runs. I got a NASTY shin splint and pain in my left arm. I worked hard to try and get that 4th round in. Oh, well...:shrug:[/I]

Thursday January 22, 2015

Just 9 days left in this God-forsaken month...

Complete and total rest day. Walked from my desk to the fridge and couch a few times. Maybe a total of 20 yards.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Friday January 23, 2015

C&J Volume Day

Mobility and Bar Drills to warm up
Then:
3x45#, 3 for 3
3x95#, 3 for 3
3x135, 3 for 3
3x165, 3 for 3
10x200#, 10 for 10 (Yay!)
1x22#, 1 for 1

So that's 23 for 23 on a big volume day. 200# gets heavy by the 8th and 9th lift...

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Bill , nice going, one more long gasser.

DL, 5X270,315,365.

Had other things planned but took a different route.

DL 1X405, 1X455. Could have gone higher but I am aware that regular workout would not set me up to go over 500. I also realize that when I started the Wendler cycles this time, I start the DL values too low.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

@Cliff. Thanks. I'll be doing lots of skiing for the next two months. Tuesday was my last day at work. I am now officially a ski bum, outdoor enthusiast and amateur photographer.

1/22 Skiing at Arapahoe Basin.
8k' vertical in 7 runs with lots of high altitude hiking and push poling. And I think these are the slowest lifts I've ever seen. LOL
Cashout:
KB press 35 x10x4
Pushups x10x4
KB rows 45 x10x4

1/23 Skiing at Breckenridge
16k' vertical in 11 runs. Amazing day with blue skies, lots of sun and great snow conditions.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

@Helen, took my own advice and went swimming today.

Saturday January 24, 2015

Swam 1100 yards in 27:20. Compare to
Swam 1050 yards in 27:09 on December 5, 2014.

I was able to pull hard for the last 100 yards and was able to push my aerobic threshold a little. Of course now I can't lift my arms over my head...

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In

REST DAY
(I guess Friday's C&J, Saturday's swim, and yesterdays FS/DL was a lot of work. I was nearly catatonic today).

Managed to finalize arrangements for lifting at the Arnold.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Cliff, interesting mix. sorry to hear about the swimming. I do enjoy swimming once to twice a week to offset lifting.

Back squat day: 3 times 250, 290, 325.
5×10 good mornings with 2 pood kb.
5×10 back squat at 135 with chains.

This was a more productive Monday work out then last week's. The fatigue and stress I felt from that work out was enough to get me to schedule an echocardiogram and a stress test soon.this unfortunately means that I will not be competing in a power lifting meet at the end of this week. Oh well, more to come.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Cliff, to do the power lifting well, I have needed to maintain a routine to constantly work on flexibility. That in addition to the progressive strength gains are allowing me to stay active, strong, and upright. He might want to check out Jim Wendler is book on power lifting. It is available through Amazon. I have used the system now for over 3 years.

Bench press today: 3X 185, 210, 240.
5X 10 bent Rows . With 2x2 pood kettle bells
5X 10 bench press with 135 and chains.

hi pat

here are 2 links to articles about my coach and crossfit squamish both are (wfs)

[url]http://www.gohardgetstrong.com/crossfit-squamish-the-westside-method-building-better-athletes/[/url]


[url]http://www.gohardgetstrong.com/crossfit-squamish-the-westside-method-building-better-athletes-part-ii/[/url]

they are very darn accurate as to how we live and act in the gym on a day in day out basis.

i know that for me personaly i need to pay close attention to the diet cause i love the crap food....pizza is a major down fall and from may to october because of my involvement with the mountain bike world where i live the beer's flow like water. with dry january and totaly clean eating i am feeling absoutly great.

the other thing you mention flexablity and i totaly suck at it. i hate to streach and roll and all the other things i know deep down in the back of my mind i should be doing and don't do.

i know as i age it is going to be something i have to pay closer attention to ...... thanks

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

@ Cliff. It was nice and cold last week, then warmed up for a few days but the mercury is now headed back in the right direction.

1/26 Breckenridge Resort. 29k' vertical in 22 runs. Mix of bowls, groomers and fast black diamond runs.
1/27 Keystone Resort. 33k' vertical in 19 runs. Some bumps and trees, mostly groomers.
1/28 Keystone Resort. 19k' vertical in 11 runs. Temp near freezing but high winds. Too cold to make a full day of it.

Spent the last three days skiing with a 30-ish Marine fire breather. He is a Cobra pilot in his day job and skis with wild abandon. He is definitely a "Turns are optional" kind of skier. Hated to see him head to the airport but my legs will appreciate the break.

Have been giving the upper body a break. Whatever I did to my shoulder is not resolving as quickly as I'd like. Next week, I'll go back to working just the left side while waiting for healing.

Snatch Practice
I stank again.
Felt good at 45#, 75#, 105#, and 135#
Went 1 for 4 at 155#.

Need to keep it in perspective, that this is in the teeth of the volume, and I squatted yesterday, and pressed, and blah blah blah. I still feel like I stank. Am looking forward to the 10 days of deload in the middle of February, then the 10 day tune up, and then the Arnold to see how this 14 week cycle of programming turns out.

Want to hit 182kg in November 2015 to get to Worlds.
Wouldn't have been able to hit it today...
Some days it's tough to keep it together mentally.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Friday January 30, 2015

This seemingly endless horrendous month is nearly over. It's -1F right now...

C&J Practice at CrossFit 1513 with Coach Mike Walker in attendance.

Rowed 500m, extensive mobility work.
10 minutes of empty bar drills.

Then,
10x empty bar
3 for 3 at 40kg
3 for 3 at 50kg
3 for 3 at 60kg
2 for 2 at 70kg
2 for 2 at 80kg
2 for 2 at 90kg (this started to feel heavy)
2 for 3 at 100kg (I was really happy to be able to hit this "opening" weight)
1 for 1 at 101kg (I was ecstatic to get past 100kg today, after yesterday's dismal performance and the ongoing beat down administered by January's huge amount of volume)
1 for 1 at 105kg (I felt like the king of the world, even though that world got blurry while locking out the jerk over head).
Sat down for 10 minutes, then packed up and went home.
It was nice to have an encouraging session after a couple straight suck fests.

REST DAY

Am going to do TGUs and KB swings tomorrow, then try for a heavy snatch on Monday.

Today is the last day of my least favorite month.
I think I'm going to go to South America for 2-3 weeks next year during January. Is there really going to be a foot of new snow tomorrow?

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

1/29 Shoulder rehab
Dumbbell press (left) 35 x10x4 (right) 5, 7.5, 10, 15 x10

Shoulder is coming along. Still has some range of motion/ positions that aren't "quite right" but I am very happy with the progress and glad that presses and deadlifts don't hurt. :thanx:

I was overly conservative in choosing my deadlift weights so I'll go up 25 pounds for the next cycle.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

@Alden, being conservative is okay if it lets you come back and lift another day!

Sunday February 1, 2015

Drove home early, it took two hours instead of one...

1 for 2 at 72kg
0 for 3 at 75kg (but it still felt good to try something a little heavier, these were close and revealed a new fault)

10 for 10 at 60kg while working on the new fault

The crazy volume of January is over and there's 5 weeks until the Arnold, so it's time to switch into a different mode that decreases the volume but increases the heavy attempts. It'll be interesting to see how it all turns out in March!
