Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Stephen, glad you are back at it.
Yesterday I did 100 sit-ups 100 squats for time in 3:45 Bicycled 4 miles as fast as possible on the road Bench Press 10x60lbs. 10x60lbs. 10x60lbs. 20x60lbs. Dumbell shoulder press 5 sets of 10x20lb. dumbells Ran 400 meters on the road. Was going to run more but could not get my left hamstring to relax. 1/27/10 CFWUx3 w/assisted dips Ran 6 mins. on treadmill Ran 1 mile on treadmill 20 pull-ups Back squat 5x45lbs. 5x95lbs. 5x115lbs. 5x135lbs.

I wake up feeling like an old man. Same old me. I have to say BRAVO to Terry D. You are amazing to me. I expect to see great things from you at those Senior Crossfit Games. |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Thanks Mark, hopefully I can represent for the rest of us on this thread.
I plan on signing up, I also signed up and will be competing in the NorCal sectional open division. I don't expect to get passed it, but just doing it for the experience. Did Helen last night; rolled my ankle on the 2nd round run (on a rock, running in the dark). Almost had to stop...estimating it added about 10-20 sec to my time. Just gutted out the rest of the WOD and beat my previous PR by 20 seconds. "Helen" 3 rounds for time of: -run 400 m -21 kb swings, 1.5 pood -12 pull-ups Time: [B]10:27[/B] |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
did the 100125 workout from the main site.
Warm up w. 10 treadmill walk, squats, OH squats, shoulder stretches, push ups, dips, back ext and sit ups on GHD. BS 2 X 10 X 135, 2 X 10 X 225. groin repaired enough to allow me to get almost to parallel. Main set: 5RFT: 500m row, 135# thrusters for 7 reps. Lowered the wt to 95#. Finished in 20:36.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
I just got inside information that [B]tomorrow's workout is "Filthy Fifty"[/B]. I've never done it before but I have been advised to scale to 30 for my first go-round at it. Any advice/comments?
[B]Terry[/B] - GO! GO! GO! I'm so excited you will be competing. I'll be rooting for you full force. :pepper: I've already been bragging about you to the young guys at my box - you could pulverize most of them! |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Welcome back Stephen
Diane did you say scale?, get in there and give em what for Terry D very impressive as always took a break today on my wife's Birthday I will hit todays WOD tomorrow |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Took yesterday off after brutal Miss Elizabeth, then woke up with a bad intestinal bug this AM. No workout today either. Feeling better but still a little rumbly in the tumbly, so to speak.
See how I feel tomorrow. Long workday starting around 6:30 that will stretch into tomorrow night, but I am hoping to feel up for a workout around 5:30 or so tomorrow evening. Was going to do "300" tonight. Not sure I'll have the juice for that tomorrow. We'll see. [B]Diane D.[/B] Just go for it! |

[QUOTE=John Scott Rezendes;731302] but where the heck is my main man [B]Charlie[/B]?[/QUOTE] No kidding I cold have sure used some of that broccoli last night. Was supposed to do Nasty girls, got stuck on the 2nd round of muscle ups (only got 10 total) and after 30 minutes called it a workout. Just couldn't get the kip to click and was really unmotivated working out by myself. The 2nd time in my short CF history I did not finish a WOD. I could of scaled the MU's but I did 21 in a WOD last week so I don't have an excuse. Thats definitely one exercise where you need motivation, like maybe doing it over a pool of alligators. |

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
I think we can all relate to this. I didn't know there was a name "Generation b" for us. I thought we were "late boomers".
[url]http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/31/fashion/31genb.html[/url] (wfs) (copied entirely below. not sure if that's kosher for this board) The New York Times January 28, 2010 Where Brett Favre Is a Youngster By MICHAEL WINERIP PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J. On Wednesday mornings, Andy Lupo, 51, sends out his weekly chain e-mail message to the guys: “How we looking for Sunday?” Mr. Lupo is counting heads for the regular Sunday 10 a.m. touch football game. And if there’s one thing he has learned about keeping a pickup game going from September to April, 30 Sundays a year for 20 years — through rain, sleet, snow, ice as well his own torn rotator cuff, Abrey Light’s four broken fingers, Jim Dennehy’s two fractured ribs and Glenn Christie’s career-ending ligament tear — it’s to leave zero to chance. “If you e-mail Andy at 1 a.m., he answers back at 1:05,” said Jack Hayon, 54, an Educational Testing Service vice president who has been playing “just seven years.” On Thursday of that week, Mr. Lupo reported, “Still early, but looks like a good turnout.” By Saturday, he was telling everyone that despite Nelson Obus’s torn meniscus, “We should have 21.” And they did. Mr. Lupo, an executive at an investment bank, and Mr. Light, 51, a general manager for a software company — both present at the first game in 1990 — arrive early to lay out orange cones marking the field. Lyle Girandola, 50, soon appears out of the woods at the back of the field, a misty figure pushing a wheelbarrow with a wrought-iron firepot to keep the subs warm on the sideline. Anthony Costa, 54, arrives on his bike after Mass at St. David the King, which makes Mr. Lupo look bad because he tells his wife, Carolyn, that he has to miss church because of the game. H. Fenster, 47, drives the farthest, about 35 minutes from Hillsborough. Everyone brings both their red and blue jerseys since Mr. Lupo keeps it a secret what team they’ll be on until game time. “Andy has his black-box formula for picking teams,” said Karl Dentino, 53, a marketing executive. His goal is to make teams that are so balanced each week, the game ends in a tie. About half of them do. The league is called 12 Again, because for two sweet hours each Sunday morning that’s how these middle-aged men feel. “By Sunday afternoon I’m limping around the house pretty good,” Mr. Lupo said. “I play Sunday, I can’t lift my arm until Thursday,” said Steve Tosches, 53, a quarterback, who coached Princeton’s football team for many years. “We’re afraid the game will end when someone drops dead,” Mr. Light said. “That’s why I have this,” said Mr. Lupo, throwing open his trunk, and waving a defibrillator high in the air. The game’s longevity is in part because of subtle concessions to age. They used to count three Mississippis before rushing. “Then four, then five, now six,” Mr. Light said. “We need more time to get places.” In their 30s, they’d argue about players rushing the quarterback too soon. But in their 50s they don’t need the aggravation, so Mr. Hayon brings a stopwatch that buzzes when it’s O.K. to rush. Mr. Obus, 63, an investment manager, says as they age the game gets more like chess. “You don’t just say, ‘Go long.’ We can’t do that anymore. You have to flood a zone. You come up with more complex plays, more paths.” It makes huddles interminable. “People say, ‘Why do you spend so much time in the huddle?’ ” Mr. Lupo said. “By the time you tell the seventh guy what to do, the first guy forgot what he’s supposed to do.” There’s no blocking, no tagging hard (“everyone’s got back problems,” Mr. Lupo said), and fumbles are dead balls. “Our motto is, ‘Monday morning we all need to go to work,’ ” Mr. Lupo said. When the game started in 1990, they were lucky to have six players. Mr. Lupo and Alan Slepman, the league’s first commissioner, went through backyards, shouting, “Lyle, is this your house, can you play today?” “It got easier with cellphones,” Mr. Lupo said. Mr. Dentino, who jogged by one day and joined the game, brought in his neighbor Mr. Girandola, who brought in his neighbor Jerry Fields, 53, who brought in Jonathan Sabin, 42. By the mid-1990s, they had the opposite problem, too many wanting to play, and some not understanding the thin line between worthy competitor and inglourious basterd. “A lot of people claim they’re good guys and they’re really not,” Mr. Lupo said. They needed men who were athletic, but not too. Scott Brunner, the former Giants quarterback, played for a few weeks. “Oh, my God, he threw too hard,” Mr. Lupo said. “The ball kept bouncing off guys’ chests. People kept running out of the way. “We’re not looking for the great triathlete. If your wife is saying: ‘What, are you crazy? At your age?’ That’s the guy we want.” Those wives. In the early years when the kids were young, it was harder. The men were working all week, then gone Sunday morning, too? “My wife was a little bit on my back,” Mr. Light said. “I was taking away our Sundays. She didn’t get it.” But after 10 or 15 years, he wore her down. “I know nothing about football,” Susan Light said. “After the game, he gives me the play by play. I say that’s great or that’s too bad — I can just tell if it’s positive or negative. The big thing — he’s happy and calmer after he plays, so I’m happy.” There’s a final element every sports classic needs, a legend, a Gipper, a Bambino. For the 12 Again league, it’s Mr. Slepman, the first commissioner, and by all accounts, a quippy, civic-minded, big-hearted guy who taught Mr. Lupo everything he knows about running a Sunday touch football league for slow old men. In October 2001, Mr. Slepman, a banker, collapsed on the commuter train home from Manhattan. He had a brain tumor, and on Jan. 13, 2003, he died. Every 12 Again player attended his funeral. Mr. Slepman was buried in his blue jersey and today the town field they play on is named for him. But that’s only half the legend. Nine months later, a single dad from Boston moved next door to the Slepman home. Shortly after, Mr. Lupo recruited him to the game. “He seemed to have the right personality,” Mr. Lupo said, “a friendly, mild temperament.” When Mr. Lupo asked the man from Boston if he’d ever played organized football, the man answered no, and Mr. Lupo said, “You’re perfect for us.” That was Mr. Hayon, the educational testing executive. And two years after replacing Mr. Slepman on the field — not that anyone could truly replace Mr. Slepman, of course — Mr. Hayon married Mr. Slepman’s widow, Holly. When she is asked if her second husband’s love for the same Sunday morning football game had anything to do with it, she said, “It didn’t hurt.” On a recent Sunday at Alan Slepman Football Field, Mr. Hayon, playing for the red team, caught two passes, made two interceptions and wore the stopwatch around his neck to monitor the pass rush. Once again, Mr. Lupo’s black-box formulas worked — with one play left in the game and the blue team 20 yards from the goal line, the score was tied, 2-2. An icy rain fell as Mr. Fenster, an accounts manager who puts in 60-hour weeks when he’s not quarterbacking the blues, dropped back to pass. He thought of tossing the ball blindly to the back of the end zone. “Sometimes they bat it around and you might get lucky,” he’d say later. Instead, he saw his teammate Mr. Light cutting across the front of the end zone and threw. Steve Honig, floating on pass defense for the reds, raced in front of Mr. Light, intercepted the ball and streaked downfield with no one near him. Asked later what he was thinking as he ran toward the end zone, Mr. Honig, 50, the president of an insurance third-party administrator, said: “Wow! That’s all I was thinking. Wow!” E-mail: [email]generationb@nytimes.com[/email] |

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Great job Terry, but you are right I watched about 5 min. and then got bored. Your strength and fitness is outstanding, you held your own against the young guys. I do all right strength wise but I have a long way to go with my fitness. My excuse is I have a right knee replacement and have shoulder problems thus that limits running, jumping and a lot of overhead stuff. I workout in a globo but might be able to change to a crossfit gym at the end of the month. Any suggestions appreciated.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Thanks Tim, John J.
Suggestions? 2 Big things that worked for me... 1) Consistency, just try and stay consistent with your schedule, some days its hard to walk through that door, but I have always felt better after I forced myself to do it. 2) Nutrition...I am not big on Zone, I tried it. Paleo has been great for me, it's no longer a diet, I don't think about it much, its just the way I eat...veggies and lean meats. Oh, the other guys in the video are all young enough to be my son, they definitely keep me going. I feel so slow when I am watching them. Buddy the young one in the white shorts is only 20, he is going to be a beast. We just got him on a program, training for the games. I'll repost the link when we get a fun short condensed video version. I was too tired to spend the time to edit....that's Buddy's job :) |

Focusing on bending at the waist first (pushing butt back/while keeping shoulders and head up) REALLY helps get deep.

Ok, I haven't been around since Friday so here goes. First,
[QUOTE=Terry Dickman;732993] 1) Consistency, just try and stay consistent with your schedule, some days its hard to walk through that door, but I have always felt better after I forced myself to do it.[/QUOTE] OK, I'm not the most consistent but yesterday was a good example of what Terry had to say. Slept crappy Sunday night. Had a 7:00 am Monday morning meeting. Was pretty wiped out Monday evening but that's when the kids are busy with activities so its my chance to take my time at CF (remember 30min drive to box). Had a great workout and felt awesome afterward. Slept great last night. Friday, Rest Saturday, In teams of 2, with only 1 person working at any given time complete: -4 Minutes Deadlift #225/#155 -4 Minutes Handstand Pushups -4 Minutes Thrusters #95/#65 -4 Minutes Pullups Me and a buddy (46) did about 256 if I remember. Sunday, Mindless cardio for 30 min, 50 pushups. Actually loosened me up a bit. Monday, Clean and Jerk: Heavy Single, worked up to 135# WOD, 50-35-20 -Pushups -Kettlebell Swings 55# 9:56 Welcome back Nancy. Jeff |
