Re: The Barn
 

Norm,

This link provides the context for the skill ladder in my previous post.
It's from a master's comp being held in Columbus in October.
I entered in the 50+ category, primarily to find weaknesses, which I have already found a few just by trying the skills ladder!

[B]Master's Comp Skills Ladder Exploration and Practice
[/B]Here is the link to the comp:
[url]http://www.friendshipcrossfit.com/FCF_Masters_2012.html[/url]

Today's Practice: (one minute on, one minute to move to next station)
Round One
Goblet Squat, 53#, 1 minute, yes, 1 point
20 second bar hang, yes, 2 points (was able to hang on for over 40 seconds)
30 second front plank, yes, 1 point
30 second right plank, yes, 1 point
30 second left plank, yes, 1 point
30 second handstand, yes, 1 point (nearly rotated back, need to find the right distance to have my hands away from the wall)
30 double unders, no, 23, (would have been eliminated here)
TGU, 53#, yes, 2 points (did one on each side)
3 strict pullups, yes, 2 points (did six)
2 strict ring dips, yes, 2 points (did four)
5 one arm KB OHS 44#, no, epic fail, not even close
stopped here (five minute rest)

Round Two
Goblet Squat, 53#, 1 minute, yes, 1 point
20 second bar hang, yes, 1 point
30 second front plank, yes, 1 point
30 second right plank, yes, 1 point
30 second left plank, yes, 1 point
30 second handstand, yes, 1 point (same balance issue)
30 double unders, no, 29, (would have been eliminated here)
TGU, 53#, yes, 2 points (did one on each side)
3 strict pullups, yes, 2 points (did six)
2 strict ring dips, yes, 2 points (did four)
5 one arm KB OHS 10#, (Rx is 44#), yes
stopped here
(will try skin the cats at my barn)
So, I think I ought to consider skipping the dubs (unless I get a lot better and can guarantee I'll get 30) and skip the KB OHS, b/c I think I can get the skin the cats, maybe two or three times in a minute.

Will keep practicing. If I can get the dubs, then I'll skip the one arm KB OHS and the pistols, because I think I could get the rope climb twice.

Finished off with a 1000m row in 5:02

Yesterday: Climb at Hinckley with Rick: Hinckley Crack Area, Banana Routes and Dunes. Best conditions in a long time, 40% Humidity.

JT,
Comp looks awesome. I'll have to try the workout in my barn. Thanks for the info.

Yes conditions would have been ideal for climbing yesterday.
My day job is kicking my *ss right now...

Sunday 9-23-2012

Mobility work and stretching.

ten rounds of:
10KBS, 45#, 3GHD

then, practiced dubs
Had a new PR of 27 (might have been 28) unbroken.
While doing the dubs, someone turned off the oxygen and made the world spin faster. It was an uncomfortable experience....


Went climbing in the afternoon.
Did 5 easy routes.
