[QUOTE=Jeff Kilinski;793444]That is one sexy metcon :notworth:[/QUOTE]
thanks Jeff. I am finding that this climbing is working the heck out of my forearms and grip. As the instructors have told me, once I get the climbing rhythm down, the tendency to muscle up the wall will stop and the legs will do more. Oddly, this sounds very much like what I experienced when I started crossfit and attempted the OLY lifts. |

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Kinda sore from yesterday, mostly from the BPs it feels like.
Went out to my hunting lease this AM and schlepped a cart loaded with about 200 pounds 1/2 mile across the field, then hauled salt blocks and 50 pound bags of corn to the bait piles, did some carpentry on my tree stand, etc. Was "on the clock" because I needed to get all the work done in 90 minutes and get home so my wife could go to the doctor's. Good workout! |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
My last two WOD's were disappointing, and I have been extremely stressed at work, leaving me mentally and physically exhausted. After talking to Malzone, I decided to take a week off of Crossfit to rest and recover. I'll be back next week.

Nice job on your BS PR [B]Steve[/B]. [B]Scott,[/B] I feel the same on presses, I think thats a hard lift to improve in. One of the trainers in our gym suggested to do progressions on presses for a few weeks to improve it. So he did like 5 sets of 3, of a manageable weight and every week upped the weight 5 lbs, until he could no longer progress, then went back to max effort attempts.... he said it really helped. 6-7-2010 Power snatch 5-5-5-3-3-3 [B]85, 95, 105, 115, 115, 120[/B] Rest, then Complete 150 push-ups. Each time you break, sprint 100 m. Keep track of number of breaks. At the end, you owe that many burpees. Your score is number of burpees AND time to completion.

Finally got back for a workout yesterday. I hate when life (daughter's softball, clients, job) get in the way of keeping a decent WOD schedule.
Wed Dead's (after warmup) 3 @ 235 3 @ 275 4 @ 295 [B]JJ[/B], Yes, our coach is using Wendler's formula. I'd be interested in looking into that as my overall strength can be improved. Is that online anywhere? Wed, Metcon The Chief 5 rounds, AMRAP in 3min 3 cleans, 135 6 push ups 9 squats Round 1, 4 sets Round 2, 3 sets + 3 cleans Round 3, 3 sets + 3 cleans Round 3, 3 sets + 3 cleans Round 5, 4 sets Had to race home to catch the last period of the Hawks game! :pepper::pepper::pepper: |

6/9 Workout
OK, I couldn't avoid working out all together this week. Ran the Night Moves 5 k in 23:49. This beat my previous PR, but the course has a net loss of elevation. The Claw |
