Bill,

I don't know, but a link to the article (Word doc) is posted below:

Great job on today's WOD - - props on the kipping pull-ups!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

7/1 WOD

“Danny”
AMRAP 20 Min:
30 Box Jumps (24″/20″)
20 Push Press (115#/75#)
30 Pull Ups

2-2/3 rounds (4 pull ups done on last round) @ 95#. Not sure I like this one. It is too many reps in each round, so the number of rounds ends up being so low. Somehow WOD's with faster rounds seem to push me harder.

Box jumps done on 20" box with 45# plate on top, meaning my jumps had to be more precise. This was a good thing. Push presses started with 10 straight, then devolved to 7, then 6, and 5. I find that when I get really gassed on barbell moves, my form becomes more efficient by necessity. Really felt I was popping the hips to get the bar up by the end. This was a good thing. Pull ups once again were disappointing. I had hoped to knock out at least 15 or so straight, but was only able to get about 10, which quickly devolved again to just a couple at a time by the end.

Stephen thanks for the referral to Mark R's rehab advice. I wasn't sure from reading it what muscle he was describing for rehab and how the squats would fit any muscle. Unless he feels that any whole body exercise would work. In any event, since I'm working on rehabing hamstrings, I did stiff legged dead lifts with the barbell. It was sore as he described and yet I do not think that I injured it again.

Thursday 100701

Ten rounds for time of:
10 Pull-ups
10 Dips
10 Sit-ups
10 Squats

Made a few accomodations to this. Pull up were done w. parallel grip. Sit ups were on an exercise ball w. feet anchored (this took pressure of hamstrings). Completed in 22:49. I have to spend more time and learn the kip----it would have made this so much easier.

Pat and Bill,

You are both very welcome regarding Coach Rip's article. Though he did not specify, I was under the impression he refereed to a hamstring injury and have therefore, used this treatment method before (unfortunately - - you'd think I'd have learned!) with great results.

Great jobs on your respective workouts, you two! AWESOME!
