[B]12-20[/B]
3x5 back squats
125, 135, 135, 135, 145
Had trouble with my stance during the WOD, the trainer suggested a wider stance because of my leg length, added 5 sets 5 reps at 75# down to a box to get proper depth and the feel for it. Much better.

jim...that snowfall is considered a nusance snow here. especially since it has now begun to rain. earlier this month whistler village got 35 cm in one nite which created all kinds of issues attempting to deliver product.

people still talk about febuary '98 when whistler got 10 feet in 10 days. i remember that year fondly.

*did Wendler week 4 deload

*Claw inspired me to do this one;
In 10 minutes
Row 1000 meters
then perform as many overhead squats as possible,
95lbs men, 65 lbs women.
Score is total number of overhead squats.
Got 55 reps (been working hard on my OHS)

*Then went face to face on KB swings with my partner Nick (30 yr old).
of course he kicked my butt, but it was fun.
[U]30 KB Swings - 2 pood [/U]
- You have 1 minute to get 30 KB swings. If you do not get 30 KB Swings in 1 minute, count a penalty.
- Perform this workout one minute on and one minute off. Total time is 10 minutes.
- For every penalty counted, perform a 1000 meter row.
Post total reps completed reps completed in each round.

I only got 30 reps 1st round, 2 rounds with 27.

Merry Christmas friends!
haven't been in the gym in a week--Been at our Vacation home in the wood (cleaning up the damage caused by a freak wind storm)
No lack of workout! ( hired a Logging expert) to fall two giant fir trees that were diseased and threatening the safety of our home--They were both over 160ft tall and one had a butt diameter of greater than 5 feet! After getting a permit to fall them I had to get a firewood cutting permit to buck up and haul off the wood! I was able to bless a single mom with 3 cords and another disabled Veteran with another 2 cords, leaving still 4 cords for our personal use.
Because the wood is in the National Forest we had to move it by hand (each 16" round weighed in excess of 700lbs so we had to split it where it was and carry quarters to the property line and then load into a trailer to pack to the front of the property where I could finish splitting and loading into a trailer for transport!
Needless to say I have been getting a good W/O daily!! (sure glad to have the Mwod stretching routine to use after evening soak in the shower and a few good friends to help! (my 4 year old grandson is getting pretty good running the controls on the log splitter too!

For a little Cross training today I went for a 25 mile road bike ride (10 miles was 4-6% grade) that got the quads burning and HR up!! the 30 degree weather was nice for keeping the sweat to a tolerable level!!

I also brought up to the cabin a 53lb KB, my C2 rower, Abmat and set up a Universal Hoist single stack gym (so I didn't have to transport my BB and bumpers!---This should be a swell Christmas week and a "Fit beginning of a Great New year!!

Be blessed and please remember the true reason for the Season
God Bless all my CF friends!

[B]Michelle[/B] and [B]John[/B], thanks for the kind words.
[B]Terry[/B], nice job on the 1000m row then OHS WOD.

12/22 WOD

5-3-2-2-1-1-1 Deadlifts
225-255-275-295-305-310*-315f

310 is a PR! Felt strong this morning. I've been doing WOD's without breakfast this week to see how it works and so far seems OK. I'm hungry getting there, but once I'm there, I don't seem to notice. I have been having a protein shake immediately afterward, which also seems to be helping.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Claw - Awesome Deadlift PR!! Also super job on the Fight Gone Feliz Navidad"! I've found not eating before WODs always works well for me too.
