[quote=Diane Dennis;504322]Stephen - The "Kilo"?!? - are you kidding me?!? Fantastic!! :notworth: Wow - you are getting better at this stuff every day. And I LOVE the new snow avatar!
[B]Today[/B] Had an early morning meeting and had to miss my gym workout. Made up for it by doing my "Stadium to Stadium Steps" run at lunch. Proudly not a PR! It took me 30 minutes longer than normal because I dashed into the Sideline Store at Heinz Field and bought myself a really cool new Polamalu jersey to wear to the Super Bowl party on Sunday. Kind of weird running with a bag in my hand so I stuffed it down the front of my jacket and looked like I had put on about 15 pounds! But it made me run like I was a crazed Polynesian safety! I kept looking for the big interception on my way back to work, but to no avail! Oh well, I'll have to leave the big defensive play to my boys on Sunday! Woo hoo! Go Steelers![/quote] Hey Diane, I'm with you.......[COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=4][I][B]G[COLOR=Yellow]O[/COLOR] S[COLOR=Yellow][COLOR=Yellow]T[/COLOR][COLOR=DarkGreen]E[COLOR=Yellow]E[COLOR=DarkGreen]L[COLOR=Yellow]E[COLOR=DarkGreen]R[COLOR=Yellow]S[COLOR=DarkGreen]![/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/B][/I][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=Black]Thanks (about the "Kilo")!

Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
[B]Yesterday[/B]
I used all of my balance and agility gained through CrossFit to navigate my way to and from work via foot and public transportation during the worst freezing rain that I have seen in a long time. I thought I might have to crawl across the Clemente bridge but some guy wearing boots with sharp metal cleats let me hang on to his arm. Whoo – bad stuff. Got home and had a drink instead of going to the gym. [B]Today[/B] Ran (sort of) to the GLBBG – worked with trainer 2 min plank 30 sit ups 21 burpees 21 dumbbell swings DLs: 8 x 85#; 6 x 105#; 4 x 125#; 2 x 145#; 1 x 165# (PR) 100 jumping jacks 2 min plank Had to cut the workout short in order to catch the bus and still make it to work on time. Roads still too dicey to venture out in my car. |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Today, Did CFWUx3 w/assisted dips
Did modified “Elizabeth” with 65lb. squat cleans and assisted dips. My time: 13:56 Then did 65lb. shoulder press 21-15-9 reps Did assisted pull-ups 21-15-9 reps I have previously done "Elizabeth" with 90lb. squat cleans, but wanted to go lighter to make sure my groin injury did not become a problem. |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Stephen and Diane, Congrats on the PR's.
Stephen, the pressure is on. I will be chasing that Thruster weight. Diane, I wish the computer worked on the rower at my gym, so I could gauge my performance. All I get to do is sit down and row for 2 minutes, 5 minutes, whatever, with know awareness of how much I am improving or not. |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Mark - What a shame about your erg. As CrossFitters, we're programmed to go harder and faster than the last time, and without the screen working, it's impossible to judge. Make sure it's not just a low-battery thing - my trainer told me that on our old C2, a nearly dead battery in the screen can cause incomplete read-outs.
Terry - Wow on the 1/28 WOD!! You are making the most of your opportunity at your affiliate. You are totally killing it! But I think that until winter is over (late March-ish), you should only run indoors and not post any more pictures of those warm, gorgeous, embracing beaches that you stride upon. That last beach photo nearly did me in - as a runner, I'm hanging on by a thread here in Iceburgh! Fortunately, I've got those really cool football guys (I won't mention the STEELERS again since you're a Cardinal (cough-cough) fan) to keep me going during this miserable-a$$ weather. |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Thanks Diane,
Yes the affiliate has been awesome. It's definitely keeping me motivated. My running has improved some. I am actually thinking of getting my L1 Cert eventually. Most likely I will wait until summer, if there is one close by. I am not a real Cardinals fan but I did have season tickets for 4 years back in the early 90's. I am actually a 49er fan... since childhood. Anyway I am rooting for the Cards. Soo...maybe should make a wager?? Something like the the loser has to do the # number of burpees of the total score. Sorry about the beaches :D I did live in Mass. for 3 years, and experienced a few ice storms, so I definitely don't envy you this time of year. But hang in there, only a few more months for warm weather. :yikes: |

[I][B]THURSDAY 090129
[/B]Woke up with a [B]really [/B]sore back - - don't know why, but WO plans for today obviously changed..... [B]Warm-up: Stationary Cycling [/B]10:00 / L3 / 100 RPM / 2.6 mi / HR 100 [B]CFWU X 3, [/B]minus GHD Situps and back extensions. Arm circles, shoulder dislocates, trunk rotations and body circles included. Still didn't help back..... [B]WOD: [/B]Had planned on "Elizabeth". Changed to..... [B]Clean Practice Session. PVC cleans - - [/B]Focused on hip drive and form [B]Burgener Warm-up (PVC) 45# bar - - 15 X 1. [/B]Again, focus on form and hip drive. [B]5 X 3 [/B]interspersed through heavier lifts to "remind me" of form. [B]95# X 5 X 5. [/B]Didn't use any higher weight so I'd concentrate on form. There were several times the bar just flew up and I got under it really easily..... This was the best experience I've yet had with cleans. Gotta keep at it. [B]2K Row.[/B] Concentrated on leg drive. [B]First 500m @ 20 - 22 SPM. Avg 2:02 - 2:05 / 500m. Got 1:59 once! Remaining 1500m, moderate row. Avg 26 SPM. Time: 8:45.[/B] Average over 2K - - 2:11+ /500m. Called it good for today. Kinda BLAH, but just had this feeling that if I'd pushed, I might have injured myself. :([/I] |

Stephen - How in heaven's name did you row with a sore back?!? You are turning into a real tough guy! Glad to be associated with you guys!! No workout again today. Fighting the weather to get to my job is eating up my "free time" that I use for workouts. Will get back to it tomorrow morning. |

[/B]Returned from four days of traveling and "doing" Disneyland. My intention was to work out today, but my stomach is still doing flip-flops from all the food I took in the past days. I ate pretty sensibly......just too much. No excuses tomorrow, though. Had a little fun while at Disneyland. The "barrier" bars were just the right height and distance apart inside the "Blue Ribbon Bakery."[/I] |

Ran to the CLBBG – worked with trainer Did some dumbbell swings, get-down-and-get-ups, assisted pull-ups and push-ups on parallettes. Then, while doing nothing more than a farmer’s walk (35# dumbells), I pulled a lat! Yowee! At first, it hurt so badly that I felt like I couldn’t breath. I took a break and after a while it felt much better. I did some lunge walks and went home. Emailed my old CrossFit trainer and he told me to stop working out the morning after rowing. Rats. |

Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Rest Day
Good thing because my little lat-pull has turned into something worse - pain radiating through my back and ribs and it hurts to breath. Saw a doc at work who thinks I may have ripped cartilage away from my rib cage. Haven't had an x-ray but I just don't see how a frickin' farmer's walk could have done something like that. Taking ibuprofen and gritting my teeth. |

The rib cartilage(s) are located primarily at their attachment points in your back and at the sternum. Over on your side, where your lats are located, you just have the intercostal muscles. I may be wrong and there may also be cartilage there, but I don't think so. Which leads me to wonder if you haven't torn one of the intercostal muscles. Have your injury checked out thoroughly - - you don't want to end up with a case of rhabdomyolisis. Everything you describe leads me to believe that is a possibility. Definitely have your Dr. take an x-ray or perhaps contemplate seeing a thoracic specialist/surgeon. I guess we're at the age where some of our injuries don't make sense.....like how could I get a level-1 (or grade 1) hamstring tear doing good mornings with a piece of PVC? Sheesh!!! Best wishes for a speedy recovery (and hopefully a pain-free one)! |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
I hate the injuries. I started this thread hoping Over 50 Crossfitters would exchange info on workouts and be examples for how to avoid injury as Over-50 Crossfitters. I think we have pumped each other to work harder, but not necessarily smarter, and have thus all gotten hurt in recent weeks. Just my wordy way of saying, "BE CAREFUL". Have fun and do not get hurt. Diane, whatever you have done, I wish you a quick recovery. I know the misery of injury, yuk.

[B][I]WEDNESDAY 090204
Warm-up: Elliptical Trainer: [/I][/B][I]10:00 / L3 / 90 RPM / 2.5 mi / HR = 106 [B]CFWU X 2.[/B] Added leg swings - -front to back / side to side 10 X 2 each, plus shoulder dislocates, trunk rotations, and body circles. Took it [B]very easy[/B] with the GHD sit-ups, did not go for full extension (touching the floor) and did reps [B]slowly[/B]. No problems... [B]Jump Rope singles: 100 x 3 Double under practice: [/B]10:00. [B]Got 3 in a row, then 2 more. [/B](J,J, DU, J, J, DU). Most were J, J, Trip......Still have not found a way to keep the rope going after each DU. [B]WOD: "Nicole" AMRAP in 20 minutes 400m Run Max Reps Pull-ups Got 5 full rounds plus 90m run. Pullups were 4, 3, 5, 3, 3, = 18. [/B]My pull-ups [B]SUCKED[/B]. New pull-up bar at the globo. It's too close to the wall for my "improper" kipping style, so all the pull-ups were kinda "quasi-kipped" / hanging. The runs felt good - - this is the farthest I've run thus far since my injury, so I am still taking it easy....2:24 per 400m.[/I] |

Mark, Man, do I hear you. I've found my workouts to be a question of balancing just how hard I can push myself with the possibility of injury. Like my pulling a hip flexor yesterday doing GHD sit-ups with full ROM. I guess I felt so good I lost focus and was moving too quickly for such an eccentric movement, so when the "pull" changed to actively moving my upper torso back up, the muscle pulled. Makes me apprehensive about going for a CFT, especially since my back squat form sucks. So I guess I'll just wait until I become a pro at lifting an empty bar and then add some weight. Take care! |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Diane, really sorry to hear about your injury. Hope you heal quickly.
I agree with everyone that inurys suck, especially at our age. Mark makes a good point about working out smarter. I haven't had an injury in a while so guess I am the lucky one. I do recall some of my past inuries and it was always when I was doing something dumb, like not warming up properly or trying to do something beyond my capabilty (i.e trying to keep up with someone else with more skill or someone more fit). I have been injured plenty of times and have learned its OK work hard but stay within my own limits. Check out this article [url]http://library.CrossFit.com/premium/pdf/33_05_working_wounded.pdf[/url] (wfs) WOD 2-4-09 For time: 400m Barbell Overhead Walk 95 lbs *To rest you must stop walking and stand with the bar on your shoulders, in the rack position or in the hang position. For every time that you put your bar down on the ground you will have 10 push-ups to do. Push-ups will be done at the end of the 400m walk and will need to be completed before your time is stopped.* My time 12:38 - 10 pushups I really under estimated this workout. Need to lock out better and keep weight back next time. |

[I][B]THURSDAY 090205

[B]Squat Therapy [/B](Going too low for now and allowing weight to come forward off heels, some "butt winking"). [B]Intro to Thrusters (w/PVC) [/B]I should have done this a LONG time ago.
