Thanks for all the kind welcome back messages!

9/11 WOD
A. Overhead Squats, Find heavy 3R 21X1, rest as needed
115
Did several sets at 95. Right knee started tracking in again. These felt awfully heavy this morning so I worked on getting them right.

+ Complete AFAP:
600m run
60 DU's
50 KBS 1pd/1.5pd
50 SA OH Walking Lunges (25R + 25L) 1p/1.5pd
400m run
40 DU's
30 Burpees
30 TTB
200m run
20 DU's
10 KB Clean to Press (alt) 1pd/1.5pd
10 KB Snatch (alt) 1pd/1.5pd
24:27.

Jumped back and forth between 1.5 and 1 pood bells, especially on OH walking lunges. Use 1 pood on clean to press so I didn't have to jerk the bell up. 1.5 on snatches. Sweaty grip has really been a problem lately. I think I'll need to break out some wrist sweat bands.

Warmup

Snatch Practice
10 for 10 at 95#, really focusing on knee rebend.
10 for 10 at 135, really focusing on straight arms
2 for 2 at 145, focused on moving fast
1 for 1 at 155, focused on getting low
1 for 1 at 165, focused on getting focused
oh for 3 at 175
oh for 1 at 170

30 overhead walking lunges.

Need to be able to snatch 190 to have a meaningful chance and performance at worlds. I guess there's going to be a lot of failure between now and then.

Awesome work Guys!!

[B]WU:[/B]
400m Run
100+ SUs
10 Leg swings (each leg both directions)
10 Air Squats

[B]WOD:[/B]
Beginning with the first 300m row, move to the next exercise every 2 min.



0:00 300m row
2:00 max rep power snatch (95/65)
4:00 300m row
6:00 max rep thruster (95/65)
8:00 300m row
10:00 max rep power clean (95/65)
12:00 300m row
14:00 max rep shoulder to overhead (95/65)
16:00 300m row
18:00 max rep front squat (95/65)
20:00 finished

Rx

12,16,16,19,20 = 83

[I]Beware any WOD with "rest" in it! The rows took me about 1:30 to 1:40 to complete. At least each lift was easier than the previous one. I was able to do more Shoulder to Overheads by breaking them into subsets of 6, 5, 4, & 4. The front squats in subsets of 7, 6, 5, & 2. I didn't have the highest total, but at least I was able to beat some of the later lift reps on the board! [/I]

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Saturday September 13, 2014 (pm session)

Made it once around the farm with my trekking poles.
It was relatively pain-free, and my right leg did not fall asleep.
However, my left leg did fall asleep from knee to hip. Weird.

Ideal conditions in the SoP this morning. A perfect late autumn day (oh yeah, it's only September 14, still summer technically...)

Got to witness the completion of the 10k kb challenge.
Tim went from 33:xx on the first WOD to 22:xx today.
That's 11 minutes faster, or 33% faster.
Amazing results.
Congratulations.

Some stretching, then alternated walking lunges and bench presses.

Got up to 255 on the BP, that was heavy enough.

Did 10 kb swings.
Tried to take it easy on my back and legs this morning.
Will walk another lap around the farm with the trekking poles this afternoon.

Monday September 15, 2014

Warmup
Snatch Practice with drills
5x45, coming from the floor to waist via a snatch grip deadlift three times, then back to the low hang once, then snatching it overhead.

5x75, same routine

5x105, from floor to waist via slow chest up deadlift, then back to ground and snatch it

5x135, just from floor, felt pretty good

1x145 just taking it from the floor, felt easy

1x155, felt pretty easy

0 for 3 at 165 (75kg), just couldn't get it back far enough, was missing it out front.
