Did you guys all sign up for the open? I wonder if michelle is in?

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

open gym last nite....sit ups, good mornings w/green band, pull ups w/green band (shoulder was feeling pretty good) lots of rolling around on a lacross ball

plus 5-5-5 bench press 155-165-175 pr which was 5 lbs heavier than 2 weeks ago for the same movement.

today i am feeling more confident than anytime over the past year that perhaps there my shoulder strength may return to pre surgery level if i just give it some more time.

[QUOTE=Deb Borbone;1029622]...This is good, for triples. From below or above the knee? You shouldn't lose THAT much by not going off the floor - that part is just knees back, your hips/back dont move much. For me, triples is tough to hold my back position; youre standing, get tight, hang and go - then you're standing, check your back big chest and breath all tight, hang it and go... harder w/subsequent reps.
Did you ever do psnatch or pclean from the boxes? They seem easier to get the correct position, you're not holding the bar the whole time.
I can imagine the squat jumps must've killed after that!![/QUOTE]

Deb - they were above the knee. Trying to get the right position was tough. I'm so used to pulling from the floor... I'm going to work on position! And doing it more than once is tough trying to get back to starting position. It gets heavier!

I've done the Power Snatch from the boxes. (Actually used 10 45# bumpers!) I'm thinking of making up a set for home use!

Jack - Sweet chipper time!! Those last set of burpees (Yay! Burpees!) are a killer!!

Cliff - sounds like your shoulders are coming along fine! Way to go on those bench Presses!

02/03/2012 Deadlifts and Double Unders

Warm-up: Row 600m, air squats, PVC OH squats, shoulder press 85X5X3, Assist pull-ups single band X10X3, KB swings 35#X10X3

Workout: Pack(-)
Three rounds for time of:
135 pound Deadlift, 10 reps
35 tuck jumps
5:21

Skills/ Cash out: Thrusters 20#, RC PT, t-spine and shoulder mobility work

Went with a lighter weight to ensure I could maintain good form on the deadlifts. Deadlifts were all unbroken; tuck jumps started as 5 at a time then were all over the map. After watching the CFJ video about teaching thrusters to CF Kids, I realized my form could use more work.
