[B]Pat,

[/B]Seems like you've had a really fast recovery. Did you do any light workouts aside from ROM exercises and icing? I figured on working some of my weak points with other body parts for the next two weeks or more, but it seems you've just "gone for it" and it's working. Suggestions? Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]

Played on the beach and in the water at Venice Beach for a few days with the grandsons. I have been doing some stationary cycling at a seat height not quite at the extension that I would normally use. Shorter. The pulling part of the stroke at full extension would just re-injure. This forces the muscle to work and creates healing in the area. Stretching is the last thing that I do.

Pat,

Thanks for the info. Hard to take it easy - - but I'm going to just work lightly with the hammy and concentrate on skills development with the rest of my body.....

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.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 
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!

7/3 WOD

5 minutes max double-unders: 178
2 minutes max sit-ups: 62
2 minutes max pull-ups: 30
2 minutes max squats: 88
1 minute max burpees: 20.

Mixed bag today. Pleased with double-unders, would have been more pleased if I got more than Augie's 210. ;) Sit-ups quite disappointing, my PR is 78, so I was way off. Pull-ups similarly disappointing. I feel like I have been getting worse on these over the last few months. Very pleased with 88 squats. My Elite Goal is 100 in 2 minutes, which seems like it's in reach. I blazed out at the start with 30 in less than 30 seconds, then slowed down; I should have kept going as fast as possible as long as possible. Once I slowed my initial pace, I could not pick it up again. Also pleased with 20 burpees in 1 minute. That's the second time I met this Elite Goal.

Worked out with Augie's wife Karen, and she did great. Hope to see her join us for real!

Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you've got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it.
[B]55:47 NO vest[/B] - happy with that;

Ran the first mile in 8:35 or 8:37 (my usual time is 10-11, I guess I can thank the extra squat work I started in April)... partitioned this Cindy style, chin over bar, chest to abmat, full ROM squat w/hip snap, all fast, & no broken squats, yay!:pepper: - all reps were legit (or I did them over). Today is probably my tiredest weakest day as well, so I was really pleased with the effort. The last run was awful, had to be minutes slower - it's 100° here today and humid as hell. We had a couple pukers. I didn't expect to finish in under 60 minutes (bodyweight stuff is not my forté). The only fly in the ointment was a bathroom break after the first 2 rounds.... sometimes I hate being a girl.

Did my usual warm up---including 3X25X65# SLDL for hamstring repair.



"Luce"

Wearing a 20 pound vest, three rounds for time of:(SCALE)
1K Run(.25 mi on treadmill at 3.5 mph w. 2X10lbDB's)
10 Muscle-ups(10 Pull ups +10 Dips)
100 Squats(50 w. 2X10lbDB's)

Completed in 24:38.. My gym was so packed to day that I knew bringing my rings and tying up a power cage for the muscle up progressions would be a waste of time---I'd lose my place at the power cage as soon as I stepped aside to another exercise. This was challenging enough.

JJ--what is the Wendler? Looks like you are making progress with it.
[/QUOTE]

Pat—

Periodized, progressive strength program, created by a guy named Jim Wendler.

Basically goes in 4-week cycles. You focus on 3-4 movements per month, each one on a different day of the week (typically with a rest day in between).

He recommends the Big Basic lifts: Dead lift, back squat, Shoulder Press.
I vary it with DL, Overhead Squat, and Bench Press/Pullups combined on one day.

So on any given day you do the Wendler program for that lift, which will consist of 3 warmup sets, followed by 3 progressively heavier sets, ending with a "money set" that will be a minimum of 5 reps at 85% of your 1RM, 3 reps at 90%, or 1 rep at 95%—PLUS as many more reps as you can do. The "money set" is where you make the gains.

Then he also prescribes "assistive" exercises. So on DL day, I do lunges and knees to elbows (which I combine in the form of a brief MetCon WOD).

And I try to work in some MetCon work a couple of times a week on my off days.

It DOES work. Like anything else, you have to work it hard and be honest with yourself. Very good in terms of time-saving. There is an e-book available online.

Folks,

Been off the board for a while. I took a week off. Then as I got back into things I ended up in NYC on business and the wife was sick so couldn't duck out to a WOD. All lame excuses. Consequently, I haven't had a whole lot to post. Been back into it, but not at the intensity as I have known. Took a long run in Central Park, every time the song flipped on the iPod I dropped for 20 pushups. Grabbed an Oly class at the box and I was the only one there so got some good one-on-one with Mark and worked on my snatch. Going to hit the box tonght.

We go up to Devils Lake for a week of camping starting this weekend so I wanted to pipe in before I'm out of radar range for a week.

[B]Terry, [/B] Have the posted the Master's Div WODs for the games anywhere? I'm pulling for you. We'll be back from the woods so I'll catch it live on the webcast.

7/6 WOD

3 Rounds for Time:
400 M Run
20 Second Max Reps of Deadlift (60% of 1RM)
40 Seconds Rest
20 Second Max Reps of Deadlift (60% of 1RM)
40 Seconds Rest

Did not record time, but running splits were about 1:55 to 2:00. Deadlifts were mistakenly done at 60% of bodyweight instead of 60% of one rep max, so I lifted 95# instead of 185#. Consequently, max deadlifts were 14, 14/14, 15/14, 16.

Lots of fog everywhere, inside and out, this morning. Welcome back Edgar from NY, he's going to work with us while on vacation.

Thanks, I've been toying with the idea of doing powerlifting at next winter's Sr Olympics. So about 3 or so months out, I could use a system like this to focus. Events are: back squat, bench press, and dead lift.
