great work guys. Any of you doing 17.4? Looks like fun. Had to talk myself out of even trying to tendonitis is fully resolved. Using lidocaine patches and they are helping.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Hey Pat Q. I determined not to do 17.4 cause my left hip has been bothering my for a couple of months now. 55 Deadlifts would likely put me down. :ranting2: So thinking better to go at a moderate pace rather then make the hip worse. I went over and helped out folks by judging and Cheering folks on!!

Congrats Bill for the 60...burpees :) !!!

Sunday March 19:
Busy weekend with much to do so did only at home:

Db clean:
15/6kg Db's 10/6kg 10/6kg
10/12kg Db's x7sets.

Monday March 20:

The Db clean felt good yesterday so i wanted to do them also at the gym.
Because of my bad knees i'll don't bend much the knees,
close to a "stiff legged Db clean".
The plan was to do it with C2 rowing "Linda style" first 10 reps on db clean then rowing for 100meters, then 9reps on clean and row 200m etc so that last Db clean was 1 rep and rowing 1000m. Increasing the weight on Db's each set. The dumbells increase 2,5kg/db (5,5lbs), but after 30kg they increase 5kg/db (11lbs)
First two rounds was the rowingmachine occupied so i instead did 1min assault bike on first round 2min the second round..then the C2 was free :)

Db clean 10/12.5kg db's -> 1min Assault bike
9/15kg (33lbs) -> 2min Assault bike
8/17,5kg -> row 300m
7/20kg (44lbs) -> 400m
6/22,5kg -> 500m
5/25kg (55lbs) -> 600m
4/27,5kg -> 700m
3/30kg -> 800m
2/35kg -> 900m
1/40kg (88lbs) ->1000m

Hole thing took about 45min.
