[B]Mark [/B]- Kudos on the Back Squats..it's where I'm going tomorrow
[B]Terry[/B] - Man, I know moving is a pain. The wife and I have moved 7 times since 9-11. It's getting to where we refuse to buy any really nice furniture or appliances because we know the moving company is gonna gank it up. Our last move (KS to GA) we had over $4k in claims against the movers. I know what you're thinking...why doesn't he just do it himself? When you move as often as we do and with 2 little kids...I guess I'm just lazy:smiley_ev Today: WUx3: BW squats 5/10/15 1 min jump rope with DU x1 at the end pushups 5/10/15 situps 10/15/20 dips 5/10/15 DH pullups 5/7/10 back extensions 10/15/25 burpees 5/10/15 walking lunges 10/10/15 HSPU w/ smith machine assist 5/7/10 WOD was supposed to be 4x800m run, but I sub'd C2 800m with 1 min rest between efforts as follows: 800 - 3:40.9 800 - 3:43 800 - 3:39 800 - 3:38.9 The times are probably pretty close to where I was on the track at 800m before all the knee drama.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Catching up. Looks like lots of solid efforts the past few days. My sympathies Terry. We've been moving around the house (kitchen remodel, then dining room, then living room, then installing the old cabinets in the basement, etc.) the past 3 months and that's been bad enough.
5/9/09 Kayaking with the 17 year old son. Beautiful day. Good times. 5/10/09 Rest day other than mowing the lawn and cooking dinner for the wife and mother-in-law 5/11/09 #1 Taught an early Spinning class #2 CFWU x 15 Shoulder Press 44x5 x 2; 64x5; 84x5; 94x5; 104x4 (missed rep 5) High Rep SP 79x12 5/12/09 CFWU x 15 Burgener WU Power Cleans after WU sets: 132x1; 142x1; 152x1; 162x1; 172x1; 177x1 f 177x1! (pr) Dead-lift: 152x5; 202x3; 222x2; then 237x5; 247x5; 257x5 then high rep 212x15 Met Con: 1/2 Annie w/class: 25-20-15-10-5 Dbl Unders-Ab-Mat Situps 5:21 5/13/09 CFWU x 15 Burgener WU Snatch (squat) 94x1 x3; 104x1; 114x1 f; 114x1; 124x1 (not full squat) Bench Press: 44x5; 94x5; 114x3; then 132x5; 142x5; 152x5 (bwt) Met Con: "Heavy, Short Cindy" 5 pull-ups (kip), 10 pushups, 15 squats, done with 40# vest for 12:00. I hope I never gain 40 lbs! 9 rds + 5 pullups. As usual, pushups were the weakest and only exercise broken. I'd blame the BP, but I'm sure that was a minor factor. |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Well everyone seems to be making progress even if sometimes it is two steps forward and one step back. I guess that is the key to fitness over 50: just keeping at it, "turtle-like".
WOD: "Cindy" as Rx'd 20 Rnds ( I finished in 19:30,but my mental effort was set for 20 rnds and I wasn't going any further) |

Not at all..I am with you...Last 3 moves we had profesional movers, mainly because they were across country and the company I worked for paid for it. In fact last move, 4 kids, 2 dogs, 3 cars cost them over $40,000. I took today and tomorrow off work to try and finish the big stuff. |

Missed the 6AM workout and had to go to the noon workout on the North Shore All running: Warm-up run along the river Various forms of sprinting steps for first 30 minutes Varying distances of hill sprints for last 30 minutes I was fast and determined but this workout crushed me. My legs are now so stiff that I'm limping around the house. I think it's time to hit the bathtub. Is it too early to have a glass of wine? |

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Today
4 rounds of run 800meters I took 3 min. rest between each run My times: 4:14, 4:07, 4:10, 4:23 My stepdaughter, Kayleigh, graduates from Texas Women's University on Saturday, so my workouts may be interrupted. I am a proud stepfather. Kayleigh made all "A's" and one "B" in all of her classes to earn her Psychology degree in 4 years of college. She is the hardest working student I know. Diane- I envy that hiking trip. That should be great fun. Kevin- Glad you are back at it. This bunch will really challenge you. |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Okay, back on line again. Had a little problem with my network card, but I got it straitened out. So apologies ahead of time for several back to back posts. I'm still in England and of course it's raining. Since I have to walk everywhere on base, I'm soaked.
Scott, It's not the Brits who are giving me internet connection problems. It's the AF. The only Wifi networks are in the billeting office foyer and at the community center. No service in billeting rooms. Kind of silly really, since they actually have better connectivity in the desert. Go figure. Terry, I hate moving. We moved from base housing to our current house about three years ago. I told the wife, that I hope to never move again. And that was just 15 miles. Kevin, Hello. Glad to hear you're back working out again. |

They actually had a C2 rower! The bars were crap though. Absolutely no spin. Might have made that 185 at home. Had to prod myself to go work out. Glad I did. I feel great now. Not many in the gym this early evening, but still had an audience for every power clean attempt…funny. I guess if all you are used to doing is lateral raises, bicep curls, and seated calf raises, power cleans are unusual. BTW, it is pretty obvious that doing bicep curls is a waste of time. Mine are starting to develop quite nicely from CF. And no I am not going to start shaving off all my body hair and oil myself up. (For public health reasons...women would swoon and they might hit their heads on something. Can’t have that). There’s a sign in the gym that’s pretty funny. I’ll have to take my camera in there and get a picture of it. Before I forget, I just want to thank all of you who post on our little forum. I draw a unique inspiration from each of you. When you can say I want to more like (fill in the name) that’s good. And I can say that’s true of all of you. Thank you! |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Okay, I want to talk about diet. As I posted much earlier, I have been pretty successful at eliminating sugar from my diet. I do add maybe a ¼ teaspoon of sugar to my morning tea, but that’s pretty much it. Also, I have been fairly good about minimizing my starches. My intake of them is very limited. What I have been doing is not worrying to much about too much protein or fat. Here’s the result. My weight has remained steady. Maybe a very slow loss, but it’s hard to tell. So, I am considering going back to weighing and measuring Zone plan. Here’s a couple of things I need to iron out. If I use Zone block programming, I am always hungry. So I wonder if Into the Zone really gives me enough to eat for each day. As far as I can tell, I should be eating 17 blocks per day. Now another thought. I have been doing some reading about hormonal response to eating and exercise. My conjecture is this. If I eat enough carbs at the right time after working out and cause a planned but limited spike in my insulin response, I will materially affect my recovery from my work out, since insulin has an anabolic affect. This can perhaps do a couple of useful things. One, I will be able to increase my workload and recover more quickly. The net result is increased conditioning across the spectrum of CF training. Two...us more seasoned CFers will recover more quickly. Aging has blunted our recovery capability. A correctly timed, but limited insulin response might prove beneficial for us.
Here’s my thesis. Eat the proscribed zone blocks, but skew the carb blocks to elicit a insulin response at the right time after a workout to aid recovery. For example, if you eat 16 blocks a day, you would typically eat 4 at breakfast, 4 at lunch, and 4 at dinner. The remaining four blocks would be scattered throughout the day as snacks. Each block consists of 7 grams protein, 9 grams carb, and 1.5 g fat. The mod-Zone might look like this. Carb blocks would be reduced to say 7 grams per block. Then say if 4 hours after a workout, I eat lunch, I would add back in the missing carbs and cause a controlled, slightly elevated insulin spike. Then I’d go back to the 7 grams of carb per block for the rest of the day. I propose that this would have massive benefits. Physical, mental, psychological performance would rise to higher levels. This is just an idea. I would have to figure out the timing of the higher carb intake and how much to increase it without causing detrimental health effects. Comments? Spears? Discussion? Ideas? Thanks! |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Some time ago, we had a brief discussion about a possible article for the CF Journal. I have an idea. How about the virtual affiliate. We, the “OVER 50 CrossFitters Sign In” forum really have, in effect, our on CF affiliate. We compete against each other, we encourage each other, we inspire to better performance, better life! I can easily through out examples of each. Piece of cake. I’m thinking about a couple of things. One, we could write about our own forum and two, we could research the various forums to see how many other groups are out there. I want to believe there are others, but I have a feeling we are somewhat unique. What do you gals and guys think?

Did [B]Saturday 090509 Four rounds, each for time of: 800 meter run Rest as needed between efforts.[/B] Still at Mildenhall AB. Found an outdoor running track that was approximately 660 yds around. Had markings for every quarter mile.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Today - 05/15/09
Skipping my workout entirely. My limping problem yesterday has actually been building for several days (which I have conveniently ignored) and after doing a little research, I realized I was developing hamstring tendonitis. Apparently it is common among "active older" people and is caused by acceleration, deceleration, and downhill running. I looked back at all of the hill sprints (up and down) that I've been doing and realized I need to cut back because I am incapacitating myself. I will limit my activity today to packing my suitcase, and tomorrow will be mostly driving, so I plan to be in tip-top hiking condition for Sunday! [B]Mark[/B] - nice run times [B]John[/B] - have fun at the new affiliate [B]Charlie[/B] - enjoyed your back-to-back posts. You have some very interesting ideas. [B]Kevin[/B] - good to hear from you [B]Terry[/B] - Moving is the worst! The next time I move will be when they carry me out. With CF on my side, that won't be for a long time. |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
[B]Charlie![/B] - That's just crazy talk! If you shave down and oil up with 30 weight there should be no problems public health-wise....of course I would need to see the pics...as to your post workout insulin boost; I have seen some chatter in the forums about the use of yams for a post-WOD carb/insulin spike...now that strikes me as pretty funny....[B]a post-WOD yam spike[/B]...sounds like a tool used by the priests of the Inquisition...anyway, I digress. Yes, it's still crazy talk...and beyond my meager knowledge to actually comment intelligently...let's ask [B]Terry[/B]. He's been to a Robb Wolf nutrition cert; and in regard to your concern about weight loss and block adjustment; Robb sez don't rely on the scale...it's all about look/feel/performance (do I have that right Terry?). Might take a little tweaking. I was hungry all the time and read an article on the CFJ about trading carb blocks for fat blocks...I fiddled with it a little and it did the trick.
I do like the idea of the virtual affiliate. Count me in. Today was supposed to be a rest day, so I: CFWUx3 BW squats 10/15/20 Jump rope 1 min ending with a couple of single DUs Pushups 10/15/20 Situps 10/15/20 Dips 5/10/12 (dunno what happend to 13-14-15...failed on 13) Pullups 5/10/15 #45 plate in each hand 50meter shuttle GHD 10/15/20 #20 Wallball shots 10/15/20 (whew, that last 20 was challenging) Followed by one of my favorite CFE WODS: CFEWU of 1000meter swim in 24:15 then 8 rounds of all out swim effort where you swim 25m then rest for as long as it took you to swim that distance, then all out again and rest, etc. I'm currently smoked like a summer sausage. |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
F**K it. I've been lurking for some time now and will now throw in. I'm 50 and been doing CF or CF type work outs for over 4 years. Have had my ups and downs (rotator cuff surgery and a myriad of hamstring issues) but am still at it. Usually work out on my own but have recently joined up up with some similar minded folks for once or twice a week work outs. Don't follow too much of the diet, weak soul, but do try to watch what I eat.
I do like to benchmark what I'm doing with my peers so I will try to keep up with you. Today I did this challenge/WO [url]http://trinitytraining.blogspot.com/[/url] in 6:55 |

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Maybe I should start a new thread for CFers over 60. I've been doing the workouts for about 7-8 months. I use the WOD's from an affiliate that I used for about 2-3 months. Some exercises are out or modified due to limitations in range of motion or osteoarthritis in the knees.
Today's WOD was 3 rounds of: 5 BB Thrusters-95 lbs, 10 Pull ups, 15 Burpees, 20 squats, 25 sit ups. Quarter mile run before and after the above. Total time for today was 30'33". Since I can not run, I use a treadmill at elevation and keep my HR at the top of the curve. 6'1", 250, 64 yrs. |

[/B]These allowed me (tight hams, etc). to work on the correct positioning at the bottom of the squat. [B]Notes:[/B] "Cindy" showed me I definitely need work on all aspects of my endurance (both breathing and muscular). Pull-ups and push-ups were broken after about five rounds. Found that if I slowed down the squats, I was able to "hang in there" with all but about three sets unbroken and form improved. I seem to be constantly working at my breathing limits. Looks like everyone has been doing great work. I'll be catching up this week! |

Just peeking. I plan on knocking out some kind of WOD today. Spent yesterday touring Leeds Castle with a follow on walk around Cantebury Cathedral. Lots and lots of walking.
Tom and Pat...Welcome. This is a good group of folks. Tom and Diane...As far as the pains and other minor complaints we can develop. I am a big proponent of Starting Strength for not just getting strong, but also toughening up your muscles, tendons, etc for exercise abuse. Consider backing off CF for a month+ and just concentrate on lifting. Read what Rip has to say on the subject. Terry...That's a lot of good work. I don't know you can stand being on the road. I hate it. At least when I am deployed, I can settle into some sort of routine. The diet has all but gone out the window. It is really pretty difficult to eat well here at Mildenhall (aka Moldy-hole). I will be off line for another day or so and hopefully, by then I will be back home.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
I have a question I hope someone here can help me with.
My son and I have been doing the WOD at the new Chesterton affiliate he does well for 13 years old. But every time we finish he gets a headace sometimes right after we work sometimes a little later, like today he started feeling bad before we got home around noon and he has been in bed all day. so today is the worst for him. Im thinking that he is not drinking enough water? thanks in advance John |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
John - I'm with you on the dehydration. I get headaches post workout and I'm almost certain I'm not drinking enough water. I'm thinking as well that a 13 yo metabolism is probably cranking at a much higher level that us old guys, so it could be a combination of water, food and heck, maybe even sleep. If his urine is brownish you might want to consider reading up on Rhabdomyolysis. You can read about signs/symptoms right here on the forum. Just enter Rhabdomyolysis in the search or at (WFS)[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhabdomyolysis[/url]
Is he running a fever? If so then you've got something else to worry about. I'd say 102F or higher would be cause for concern. Or he might just have a bug. Tell him I hope he's feeling better soon. |

[B]Pat[/B], Welcome and ditto to what everyone else has said in welcome.
[B]Diane,[/B]]I envy your hike and I hope you and your husband had good weather and good views. Being in shape for backpacking was one of my orignal reasons for getting starting CF! [B]Charlie[/B],Congrats on the anniversary and in my way of thinking that is a more noteworthy accomplishment than anything having to do with CF. About your idea on the over 50 virtual community - it sounds interesting and since I'm not sure of how you want to flesh-it-out, I'll follow your lead and with permission contribute as I can.[ [B]John B,[/B] I know when I get headaches it is usually from not enough water, and John R's advice on other possiblities sounds sensible. Anyway I glad everyone is well....

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Thanks for all the welcomes. Did a Police Memorial Workout on Friday at the request of one of my cop/SWAT training friends. 75 reps of from the ground to overhead for time. I did clean and push press/jerk in 6:55. Felt it on Saturday in the traps pretty good.
Lately I have been hitting a place we call the "stairs". Take a look at this (wfs) [url]http://trinitytraining.blogspot.com/search/label/stairs[/url] for an idea of what they look like. 120 steps of varying rise and run with a total vertical of 78 feet. Saturday morning broke out my new Again Faster portable pull-up bar and hung it at the top of the stairs. Did 10 ascents and 85 pull-ups. Sunday morning I just climbed the stairs 15 times. Today, Monday I usually do yoga at noon, but work got in the way. Will use this rest and recover. |

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Back from my TDY. Quite exhausted today. Something about not getting enough sleep and then working for 20 hours or so.
On Sunday, 2009 05 17 did: "Cindy" AMRAP in 20 min of 5 pull ups, 10 pushups, 15 squats. WU: 1320 yd run at Mildenhall outdoor track. There is set of pull up bars right next to the track (little used I might add). Did 13 rounds + 3 pull ups. (That would be 13.1 rounds in Terry speak - I think). Notes: 1. Pull ups - 1st 5 were kipping, remaining were jumping w/ bar height at near full extension over my head and feet flat on ground. 2. Pushups - Set 1 thru 4 were regular PU's, then cahnged to knee push ups. Experimented with different hand spacing. Think I'll try a hand postion that best mimics the spacing when doing presses and other overhead work. This will also shorten how far I have to lift my body also (as compared to a hand position directly under the body). 3. All squats unbroken and fast. At least I am good at something. Did not feel any effects from the work out until late yesterday. Sore here and there. I need to do a little more running since my PFT is coming up in August. Pat...I'm sorry, what is "PL"? Am observing the rest day today and will pick up with our regularly broadcast show tomorrow. :broc: :broc::broc::broc::broc: |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
It's funny that the warm up can sometimes be more extensive than the WOD. I usually do many squats, either with weighted bar overhead or without, rubber bands from front to back to loosen the shoulders (which are very tight for me), short one legged step downs from a treadmill from the floor and one legged squats to some stationary platform (I'm lowering the depth given my progress--right now I'm somewhere between 2.5 and 3 feet), Roman chair sit ups and back extensions, dips, pull ups, and pushups. I occasionally do the warm up based on Bruchner's (sp?)video before OL's. All that took my 20 minutes the other day.
The WOD was simple: 5 RFT 25,20,15,10,5 KB swings 53 5, 10, 15,20, 25 burpees 200 meter sprint. My knees started to complain on the jumps with the burpees so I just did alt. leg stand ups onto a 30" stand. I used the treadmill for fast walking at a pitch. 16'00" to complete. This month the WOD also includes a random number of push ups daily. 120 for today. Good work out, I experimented with eating some fruit about an hour before going to the gym. Noticed that I didn't leave the floor smelling like a bottle of ammonia. After reading some material on another forum, I decided to give the paleo diet a shot. I love steel cut oatmeal. I wonder if they count on the paleo since you are eating the whole oat berry? 64, 6'1", 250. |

I asked a judge at a PL meet recently and he said each are their own sport. I wonder how old lifters last in OL vs. PL. There was a guy in his 80's participating in th PL contest. |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Pat,
Can't say I strictly PL. I followed a Starting Strength routine for two months using shoulder press, bench press, back squat, dead lift, and power clean. Lifted three times a week with squats each lifting day. Got to the point where I was going to start mixing in front squats and more sets of dead lift but I switched back to CF. If I thought I needed a little more strength work, I'd stop CF for a while and just do SS again, but maybe now sprinkling in some metcon, running, and rowing. |
