[QUOTE=Stephen R. Lampl;799292][I][B]Bill,

[/B]Great runs. Sorry about your hamstring. Hope you didn't tear it like I did a couple of times. Now I'm kind of scared to go full-tilt, but I'd like to see what I could do....[/QUOTE]

Steve,

Thanks! Didn't feel that good when I did, I was the slowest, but oldest, of the group. But hey, that's Crossfit! ;)

I didn't tear it or bruise it like I did last December. Just gonna take it easy & stretch the hell out of it! The good thing is that it's feeling MUCH better today & I can walk & run slow!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Bill,

It's great to hear nothing serious occurred with your hammie.....sounds like you've got a great recovery routine going.

Take care and ROCK ON!

6/19 Workout

Worked with Becky at Sergei's bootcamp in Manning Park. Four rounds of 5 minutes on, 1 minute off; lots of Bosu ball work, kettlebells, dumbbell squat clean and jerks.

6/21 WOD

6-1, 5-2, 4-3, 3-4, 2-5, 1-6
Clean and Jerks (165#/115#)
Muscle Ups

Substituted 135# C&J and 2 Burpee Pull-Ups for every Muscle Up: 20:35.

Wanted to do 145# on C&J, but wasn't able to move it well at all. Dropped to 135#, and still had too many missed reps. On C&J, just three things to remember: 1. Get elbows around [I]fast[/I]. 2. Get elbows around [B][I]fast[/I][/B]. 3. Get elbows around [B][I][U]fast[/U][/I][/B]! I'm definitely lifting bar high enough, I just need to get under it quicker!

So Jim, what was it that you said about the C&J?

Stephen nice going on the burpees. Today work out had burpees. In separate sets I can not do 10 without taking a break. Slow going on getting better on these. And yet, they are so simple!:shrug:

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

"Helen"
3 Rounds For Time:
400 M Run
21 KB Swings (1.5/1)
12 Pull Ups

11:19 as Rx'd. Wanted to beat 11:30, and was pleased I did so. I have been waiting for this WOD for a long time! First time I've ever done it. Surprisingly, the pull-ups were the bottleneck for me. Couldn't string together 12 even on the first round. On the other hand, did 21 KB swings straight on first two rounds, and split them in half on third round. Unfortunately, my reps were less than perfect, as I bent my arms on the swings (although I was good about getting the bell overhead and head through my arms on most of the reps) and the pull-ups were less than 100% chin over bar. All in all, though, I'm very pleased with this effort.

Big props to Brett who SMOKED this one with an 8:59!

Scott,

I experienced something like this too and I chalked it up to a lower volume due to strict Paleo. I kept a log during our challeng and I had a hard time shoveling in enough veggies to give me enough. On the other hand since the challenge ended I been enjoying some tater tots with the kids, macaroni, and other non-paleo foods and I can tell. Got some very unpleasant feelings in my gut. Don't know if that's because I'm re-introducing some starchy carbs or what.

Bet on it.

Dunno about you two dudes, but I get a lot out of Paleo when I'm getting >50% of my caloric intake from fat: pastured meat or wild game, eggs, nuts, pastured butter, coconut, avocado, etc.

Keep the starches and sugars to a minimum. Don't sweat the protein, you'll get enough from the meat, eggs and nuts. Eat low-glycemic fruit and veggies as you wish.

But upping the fat intake (especially good fats— MCFA's, MUFA's, Omega 3's, CLA) will make you HAPPY. And if your carb intake is suitably low, it will make you burn more fat.

Didn't mind this, my shoulders were way more tired holding the dumbbells up than they get with a 16# ball. And I was thinking I didn't use enough weight. It was just so hot and humid, i used a little chalk on the sumos but still was covered in sweat.:D Everybody at the gym beat me with wallballs, go figure!

I re-read the programming chapter from Starting Strength last night and realized two things I've been doing wrong:
1. My WU's have been mini-WODs that are taking away from my strength WO's.
2. My strength work has been structured incorrectly...i.e. I've been "pyramiding" weight when I should have been using the strength warm up sets to actually warm up and fine tune form/technique. By the time I got to the work sets I was wasted AND in poor form.

None of the weights I worked with today approach previous PRs, but I am going to give the SS methodology a chance to re-work its' magic.

[B]JEEF AND JOHN[/B]
As to diet. My daily fat intake is right at 47%, with protein at 35% and carbs around 18% (over the course of 2 months of Paleo). I think it's a matter of not enough calories. So, I'm gonna start eating more. More Paleo foods, but more.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Hi all,
Just dropping in to say hello. Looks like a lot of changes since last December. Some awesome stuff being posted.

Tomorrow is my 5 week check up from my second hip surgery. The first one didn't work out so well. Had hip resurfacing on 12/3, but to had to be revised to a total hip replacement on 5/21. They couldn't get the acetabular cup placed correctly due to (get this) my bones being too dense. Imagine being undone by your own good bone health. No wonder my cartilage got ground into nothing.

Anyway, June 24 could be Christmas in summer if I hear some magic words like; swimming, exercise bike, rowing, bench press, push ups, pull ups, kettlebells, etc. I know deadlifts, squats and overhead presses will still be taboo for quite a while if not forever.

The doctor has been extremely conservative with my post-op rehab to date. I just started outpatient PT yesterday. But if this one doesn't take there's nothing left but spit, baling wire and duct tape.

Hope to rejoin you all soon.

Regards,
JW

Wow !!! Excellent news today at post-op visit. My hip prosthesis is in perfect position and already has good bone growth anchoring the stem. And now even better news;
Bike/exercise bike- No limits
Swimming- No limits
Walking- Get off crutches to full weight bearing
Bench Press- No limits
Overhead Press- No limits (Woo-hoo)
Hang Clean and press- Use caution, work on movement, don't go heavy, lift from rack
Kettlebells- Ease back into them. Light dead clean and press and dead snatches. Avoid heavy swings for 6-8 more weeks.

No weighted squats or DL yet but they are in the future. Probably restricted to bodyweight (At 250# now, I can live with that).
No lifts from the floor until I have full range of motion.

Air squats and lunges as tolerated.
Lots of stretching.

So it's Christmas in June for me. I'm like an old dog that's been tied up in the yard. The leash has been cut and the gate was left open. I just have to remember to contain myself and gently work myself back into things.

Anybody up for "Cindy" ?

Congrats John,

Obviously you have a great work ethic and attitude. Both important in such situations. :pepper:

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

[B]John W[/B] nice to hear from you...that's great news, wish you a speedy recovery. If you are up for Cindy, try the chest to bar version :)

[B]JJ[/B] good advice on upping the fat. I use to do the zone/paleo and dropped to 190lbs, I was always hungry. After attending rrobb wooof's nutrition cert I learned about tweaking the zone by decreasing carbs and increasing fat. Eventually I just quit measuring, now I eat until I am full, I have gained a few pounds back but finally got to the point where I don't pay attention to weight anymore, and eat when and what I want, it's all about performance. I feel much better and stronger too.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

[B]Terry,

[/B]Thanks for posting the link to Hari's article on the Games site. Very inspiring, to say the least!

I am also extremely appreciative of the information regarding tweaking of the Zone. I was trying to lean toward Paleo, but I just like my dairy and occasional bread/pasta too much. The concept regarding additional good fats makes perfect sense.

Sharp-looking WOD (and great time) you posted also!

Take care!

Bill,

Nice work! I love handstands, even though I'm not very good at them.....yet. Still need support most of the time. Coach wants to do a variant tomorrow of the workout you did today. I call those "Sneaky Pete WODs" 'cause they look so innocuous and only go for 10 or 15 minutes.......SHEESH! Killers!

Did you come out to CA (Poway)? We're about 7.5 hours north of there (NE of Yosemite Nat'l park) in the Sierra Foothills.

3 rounds for time
15 thrusters (50 lb db)
30 sit-ups (abmat)
Run 800 m

35:49

Probably overshot on the db weight. Should have dropped to 40 lbs. Very broken sets, 1x at a time a lot of them!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

6/24 WOD

"Randy"
75 x 75# Power Snatches for time.
8:35 as Rx'd. Last time was 8:35 @ 65# in April. Pretty funny to get exact same time; very happy it was with higher, Rx'd weight. Snatch motion felt great.

Saw an inspiring performance by Troy doing his B.D. WOD this morning. Great job!
