[I][B]091029

[/B]Back at it today; evaluation session only, no WOD. Just checking to see how the injuries handle CF exercises.

[B]Warm-up:
[/B][/I]Arm Crcles
Shoulder pass throughs
pull-ups X 4

[I][B]Evaluation Session:
[/B][/I][B]Squat Cleans: [/B](Approx. number of 30 reps total. Reps in sets of 2 or 3).
10 X 65#
15 X 75#
5 X 95#

[B]Kipping Pull-ups
[/B]1 X 5
1 X 10

[B]Shoulder Press (75#)
[/B]1 X 10

[B]Thrusters (75#)
[/B]1 X 10

[B]Push-ups[/B]
1 X 4 ......Wrist did [B]not[/B] like these! Pretty painful.

[I]For the most part, right wrist and left knee fared O.K.,; just very mild discomfort with the wrist and almost none with the left knee. 95# squat cleans and SPs were a little painful; push-ups, much more so. Compression of the wrist seems to cause the most discomfort. Just getting to move some weight after a month off felt really good.

The next couple of weeks will be great for dialing in my skills and working back into things.

You guys are awesome.

I turn 50 in 15 months (really, I'm in no hurry), and I will proudly join you then.

Until then, I've been CF'ing for a little over two months. Have lost 10 pounds overall. And I'm guessing I've put on 5 pounds of muscle. So that means 15 pounds of fat gone.

I'm doing 185 PR on my front squat, 135 on overhead press and 315 on DL.

Cindy, 13 and 5 pullups (box pullups, clean pushups throughout though!)

I feel great and I am the oldest guy at my gym, and it gives me a lot of pride when I can keep up with people half my age, or when I just get a little look of respect or appreciation from some of them.

Keep going guys!

There's a light in the window for you John. Congradulations, you are about to make it.

Did the BS 5 X 5.

Usual warm up plus: 1X10X135, 1X10X225. Then 240,255,270,285, 305 for five reps each. The depth is not quite to parallel. These felt good. Before Crossfit, I used to do back squats once a week. I still experience them as the ultimate and most inclusive resistance exercise.

I did the splits using the following calculator(WFS):

Thanks on the avatar!! Diane, John SR - sounds like a good one.
[B]John SR[/B] 30" box jumps??:yikes: I've yet to try 24", Im really slow at even 20", I don't know how people can do them so fast!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Glad I am in Phoenix this year for Holloween. Last year my grandson insisted he and I go to his preschool party as Tom The Train. Yes, I have a hard time saying no.


Did the main site WOD: 25 squats, 25 pushup, 25 pull ups, 25 sit ups, 50 of each and then 75 of each. Perhaps the Coach wanted us all to go to a party as PUKIE. finished in 14:13. This was one of those multiple gasser workouts. The ascending order of the workout was challenging.
