[QUOTE=Jim Colby;946032][B][U]June 8[/U][/B]
Brick Night (Bike/Run at medium pace)
Cycled moderately hilly 15 miles (463 feet of climbing, 45:42, PR by 1:08, Avg HR 129, Max HR 147), then
Ran 2.7 mile hilly route (289 feet of climbing, 24:42, Avg HR 139, Max HR 149)
Brick PR by 0:28 on this route.
Stretched

98 degrees...perfect PR weather. Didn't go all-out, so tonight's PRs should be broken a lot. Wanted to do deadlifts and OHS afterwards, but ran out of time and it was probably too much anyway. I'll get those in later this week.[/QUOTE]

Forgot to mention that I swam at lunch yesterday:
3x500M
1x100M
1 mile in total. Felt strong.

Nice job everybody!!

25kg/5
30kg/5
35kg/5

45kg/5
45kg/3
45kg/5
35kg/5
The whole time he was telling me I wasn't dropping low enough (I already knew, the weight wasn't heavy at all, i need to suck it up and not worry about dropping between the boxes, I do just fine w/o the boxes - he was annoyed b/c he said its the first time he's seen me do it, not drop and kinda press out).

Snatch[/B]
Warmup barwork

25kg/2
30kg/2
35kg/3
35/2
37/2 (screwed up #2, got back to the mental thing)
37kg (6) These were all ok. One he said was the best snatch I've ever done.

[B]Snatch Pull+Reverse Liftoff+Snatch[/B]
30kg/2 (3) the second set, first one he said was perfect.

I can DO the acceleration Im just not sure when and never sure the bar is IN enough. And there's my squat problem, I CAN get down quick but at times I'll go all soft in the bottom and fall on my a$$. He told me tonite Im waiting too long to explode - as soon as it gets past my knee...thing is im looking straight ahead not sure where the bar is. but one good thing now is, I can feel when I pull right that Im not on my toes.

And I measured my weights when I got home, and they weigh correctly. I think we're both wondering why I can do 95# at home but not there. I think Im thinking negatively that Im the worst one there! I need to stop making excuses.

What else - oh yeah, there's a meet on Long Island September 10th that Im competing in, God willing. Can cross it off the bucket list; almost 3 mos to work my a$$ off try to get somewhat decent. Yay!!! Really need to work my squat.

6/10 WOD "49th Birthday"

7 Rounds for time of 7 reps of:
Pull ups
Box jumps (24")
GHD sit ups
Kettlebell swings (2 pood, Russian style)
DB push presses (35#)
Jump lunges
Burpees
28:19

Finally got to my birthday WOD. Conveniently, 49 divides into 7's. I thought this was well paced, only 7 reps per movement so some rest time built into transitioning between stations. Thanks to Traver for not letting me off the hook, and special thanks to Glenn for his inspired cheering!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Deb, consider a box squat. Use a box that is the target depth and touch it before exploding upwards.

For time:
225 pound Deadlift, 21 reps
50 Squats
135 pound Push press, 21 reps
225 pound Deadlift, 15 reps
50 Squats
135 pound Push press, 15 reps
225 pound Deadlift, 9 reps
50 Squats
135 pound Push press, 9 reps

Post time to comment

Scaled this to 25 box step ups. 15:04.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Hey thanks [B]Pat![/B] Pretty good work for a man that doesnt sleep much. ;)
These are highbar squats - so hard for me im not that flexible. I dont think I can box squat anymore, never seen anyone at Oly do them.
It wasnt a bad workout for ME, considering how hard it is to get my hips under me, I always tend to shoot them back like in a boxsquat – which is a big problem.

Ok so it took me forever to complete this, was the person to finish, but I couldn't care less. Satisfied I completed the WOD.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Yesterdays WOD today: 21,50,21,15,50,15,9,50,9 DLs, squats and pps as rxed 225 lbs DLs and 135 lbs pps. *About 32 minutes (timer stopped at one point so not sure). *

Thus far, this was my favorite WOD as my capabilities were pushed to the limit by the prescribed weight. *Had to break down the sets into small rep increments, but a highly satisfying WOD.

Deb: I read and re-read your entry the other day: reverse lift off pull snatches? No clue what a reverse lift off was and couldn't find it on the site.
