[QUOTE=John Jaeckel;945660]Thanks [B]Bill H.[/B] Sent you a PM. Unfortunately, there's no drug or food company profit to be had in funding a long-term study on the longevity benefits of CF-style training and Paleo. But there's enough science and common sense to intuitively make the connection.

John,

Did you catch Coach Glassman talking about the science and the data they are collecting?

Brick Night (Bike/Run at medium pace)
Cycled moderately hilly 15 miles (463 feet of climbing, 45:42, PR by 1:08, Avg HR 129, Max HR 147), then
Ran 2.7 mile hilly route (289 feet of climbing, 24:42, Avg HR 139, Max HR 149)
Brick PR by 0:28 on this route.
Stretched

98 degrees...perfect PR weather. Didn't go all-out, so tonight's PRs should be broken a lot. Wanted to do deadlifts and OHS afterwards, but ran out of time and it was probably too much anyway. I'll get those in later this week.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

box squat wensday. still have stiches in my neck so no back squats. got to do the same as last wensday.

16" box 140 lbs hanging from weight belt 10 x 5 squats.

1st 500 m. since november 1:40 and my shoulder did not give me any problems which i am super happy about.

on an even better note the gym has gotten involved with our local "squamish days loggers sports" so on july 30 i will be competing in the ax throw, chokermans race and log burling. all of which i have never done. we will be training for these events for the next 7 thursdays at the sports grounds.

should be interesting.

First day back after close to two week break. Nasty cold and homecoming for primi grandson. He is on 2-3 hr. feed cycle. I take early night shift. We are all dragging butt. This kid was discharged on oxygen, pulse and breathing monitor, and oxygen saturation machine. He had difficulty coordinating breathing and eating. We all got training in CPR and feeding. This is is second week home and the apnea crises are getting fewer and fewer.

Lots of stretching and warm up. Multiple light sets of back squat, deadlifts, and bench. All were 4X10X135.

1RFT: 21-15-9 of 135#OH Squat and pull ups. Scaled to 95#. 4:40.

Going to step back a few cycles on the Wendler and start strength training consistently again next week.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In

Still taking meds for the ear. It's a beouch when you get fluid behind your ear drum. If not cleared by week 12, they will put a tube in my ear. I thought they only did that to little kids?? :yikes:

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Long time since I posted!

6/3 WOD
For Time:
1200 M Row
50 Weighted Sit Ups
1200 M Run

16:03. Weighted sit ups clearly the bottleneck. Did my first 10 @ 25#, then had to go down to 20#.

6/4 WOD
"Nancole"
AMRAP 20
400 M Run
Max OHS (45#/33#)

4 rounds, 152 OHS. Rounds were 45, 35, 32, 40.
Great WOD! Combination of Nancy and Nicole, really good to do lots of reps of OHS at light weight. Love this one!

6/6 WOD

2-2-2-2-2-2-2
Adv – Snatch
1-1-1-1-1-1-1

75-75-85-95-95-105f-105f (Adv)
Snatches not happening for me this morning. Good to do some real snatches, however; that is, to full squat depth.

6/9 WOD
10 Min of Deadlifts
1 lift every 30 seconds with no change in the weight.
Followed by:
3 Rounds for time of:
500 M Row
50 Squats

255# deadlift. 10:55 on 3RFT. Slowest on rower in my all-male heat, but made up time on the squats. Really like this one!

Claw

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Strong work Claw all around!

[B][U]June 9[/U][/B]
10 minutes of jump rope drills
5 minutes of stretching

Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
15 ft Rope Climb, 1 ascent
10 Ring dips
20 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
[B]7 rds + rope + 10 ring dips w 12' rope[/B]

No big tri stuff to do today, so I felt like taking on a main page workout for a change. Everything was easy but the wall balls. Got kind of dizzy doing them in the 100 degree heat in my garage. This is a cold snap in afghanistan though, so I am not complaining. My rope climbs were mainly arms since it was too hot to wear anything but short thin socks and I didn't want rope burn. Felt good to do the metcon. Doesn't feel like I've lost anything from the distance/strength training. Fran will be the litmus test, so I may regret saying that. DU and cross-over jumps feel real strong.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Talk about trying to get back into the swing of it. OY!

[B]Randy[/B]

[B]75 Power Snatch (75#/55#)[/B]

Scaled for the returning newbie - 35#

Oh well. I have to keep reminding myself this is all new to me keep my ego in check.

Workout in memory of an aunt who passed this morning, she had Alzheimer's. I'm sure she was pulling for me to get the snatch form together.

Love you Titi Vicenta.
