Thanks, Bill. That's a great goal and makes us better and stronger for it.....

Great job on the main page WOD! Though we didn't do it at our box, I was wondering how in the devil I was going to scale it........Glad we didn't do it anyway - - the WOD we did was a gasser!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

6/29 WOD (at Crossfit Invictus)

Five sets of:
Jerk x 1.1.1
(rest 5-7 seconds between jerk attempts)
Rest 20 seconds
Pull-Ups x 10 reps
Rest 3 minutes;

and then,
Every minute on the minute for 12 minutes of:
3 Hang Power Cleans
3 Front Squats
3 Jerks
(Use approximately 70-75% of your jerk weight.)

Push jerk 135-135-135-125-125. Failed at 155# and 145#, and then failed at 135# as I got tired. Should have worked more on the split jerk so I could have gotten lower below the bar, but felt unsure of myself getting off my feet with that much weight. Somewhat disappointed in these numbers. Also not stringing together 10 pull ups. I feel like both of these exercises could have been better. Not much sleep and crappy road food on way down to San Diego probably part of the problem.

12 minutes of 3 x HPC, 3 x front squat, 3 x jerks done at 95#. This was really tiring!

Thanks to Crossfit Invictus for letting me drop in.

Stephen, great shot.

Pulled a hamstring last Saturday and spent the next 4 days icing and working range of motion. Still stiff and not at full range of motion.

Took a work out from last week. Kept the weight low and made sure that the following deadlifts were done w. as best form as I could.

Sunday 100627
Five rounds for load and time of:
Deadlift, 5 reps
5 Ring handstand push-ups

Did the DL's w. 225 and HSPU w. toes on the wall. Completed in 6:09.

Cool down w. 500 M row.

[B]Bill,

[/B]Props on the solid cleans and working to get them right. That is my very problem......slow wrists and weak pulls from the ground. Seems like it's either go or no-go; form makes all the difference.

[B]Pat,

[/B]Seems like you've had a really fast recovery. Did you do any light workouts aside from ROM exercises and icing? I figured on working some of my weak points with other body parts for the next two weeks or more, but it seems you've just "gone for it" and it's working. Suggestions? Thanks in advance!
