Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Alden, I live in fire country myself (Southern California) and feel your pain about fire, evacuating, etc. Been there, done that. We'll are pulling for everyone out there.

6/27 WOD
Hell Week, Day 3

"The Chief"*
5 X 3 Min AMRAP w/ 1 Min Rest in Between
3 Power Cleans (135#/95#)
6 Sit-Ups
9 Squats
* We all subbed sit-ups for push ups because RJ the day before called for 250 push ups.

22 rounds + 2 PC's.
Very pleased with this one, particularly pleased with the PC's. Only ONE missed rep, and that was right at the end. Like most of the athletes, I had to ice my elbows after the WOD, but about 20 mins of icing seems to have done the trick.

Body inventory: Elbows only very slightly tweaked, big bruise/abrasion on outside of right lower leg from rope climbs on Tuesday, generally feel like I got run over by a bus. Can't wait to hit it tonight!

[QUOTE]Deb - Do you just pick a weight & Snatch it for the entire WOD? [/QUOTE] Its usually a climb; but if I had to wait for a PERFECT lift, gee! Sometimes its a little forward but Im strong enough to hold it, sometimes I pull back (that's ok, my coach doesnt care as long as I bring the bar w/me, but it's not a PERFECT snatch). When its a perfect lift - it feels like nothing! Maybe a COG issue; when the COG combined you dont feel it?

Sorry to hear about your trouble [B]Alden.[/B] :( Good luck.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Deb - Thanks for your thoughts. "Perfect" is what they posted. It just showed me that I don't feel that good about my Snatch form. Need to do more of them.

Claw - Awesome job on "The Chief"! It was humbling for me!!

Cliff - Way to go on the back squats & DL's!!

[B]Functional WOD:
WU:[/B]
~400m jog

~50m :
High knees
Butt Kickers
Spidermans
10 hand Release Push Ups
Bear Crawl

[B]WOD:[/B]
5 rounds:
~100m Honda Element (~3500lbs) Push (~50 out/~50 back)

then
3 rounds:
~50m Honda Element (~3500lbs) Pull with a rope (Arms ONLY!) (then Push back)

[I]A Blast of a WOD! I checked with Map My Fitness] and pushing out was a [B]FOOT INCREASE[/B] in elevation! You could feel it! We timed the rounds, but I didn't log them. I did around 1:30-1:50 on the first and was in the 30-40 sec on the pulls. I was surprised that the pulls seemed easier.[/I]

[QUOTE]Deb - Thanks for your thoughts. "Perfect" is what they posted.[/QUOTE]yeah. this is embarrassing [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYqWbl28PZo[/url] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eomDXBBNklE(both[/url] wfs actually I think I cursed in first one. Both crappy snatches) I'm SOoooo happy in the first one, because I didn't jump back AWAY from the bar like two before it. and the second one, too slow. They're only 100#; NONE of mine are perfect! gives me something to do. :D

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

I did snatch tonight OK power snatch reverse curl, still can't jump under the bar.
Any how 95# power snatch decent form

But the clean and jerk (again power clean work in progress) 15# PR @ 151.5#
Might be more of a push press. but its getting the weight up.

Alden hope things are looking up soon.
