Hey guys, it's great to come back and get a warm reception. Good to be back here and , of course, Tribal. The box is so socially dynamic! Sometimes we don't always know how our presence is felt until something like an absence clarifies things.

5X5 Back Squat, Bench.

3RFT: 20 wall ball, 15 push ups, 200 m run. 11:23.

Two laps around the farm in the wind, cold, and rain. There's nothing Gore-Tex! Here's the answer to a question one of my coaches asked...

10/23 WOD
Teams of 2 (only one work at a time except run):
60 KB C&J's (1.5)
120 Sit Ups
600 M Run
40 KB C&J's
80 Sit Ups
400 M Run
20 KB C&J's
40 Sit ups
200 M Run

19:07 with Mike Mac. I felt strong and fast on kettlebell C&J's, slower on situps and OK on run, especially the last 200 which was a sprint. Really felt the kettlebell work in my traps and shoulders for the next couple of days.

10/29 WOD
"Lynne"
5rds for reps
BW Bench Press
Max Pullups

8/20; 4/16; 4/16; 3/13; 3/14 @ 145#.
Better than my first Lynne, not as good as my second Lynne.
I have basically taken the last month off from Crossfit, between preparing for vacation, vacation, then coming back and catching a cold. I think this is the start of getting back in the game 100%. I have also felt very guilty/conflicted about having so much trouble coming in for Comp Team training. The 1 p.m. time is part of it, but not all of it. I ended up missing more WOD's than I wanted because I skipped 6 a.m. to do 1 p.m. and then never did 1 p.m. I think I am going to revert to my normal 6 a.m. schedule, and then if I can add an extra session at 1 p.m. or on Saturdays I am going to do it, but my primary training will be normal 6 a.m. programming and just working hard. 3-2-1- Go!

Here's some video from day 1 of Hurricane Sandy, as seen from my window in downtown Cleveland.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 
JT, nice blog the other day.

Hope everybody affected by Sandy is safe and dry.

10/30 WOD
3 Position Snatch (High hang, Mid hang, Full Snatch = 1 rep)
1-1-1-1-1-1-1
65-75-85-95-95-105f

Worked with Shane. The snatches from high hang felt good and reinforced idea of full extension. The lower I started the pull, however, the harder it was fully to extend. The full snatches were, as always, sloppy. My first 95 was a nightmare but the second was better. Failed on the pull for the full snatch at 105 even though I got the high and mid hang snatches up. Catching a snatch in the squat continues to be probably the most challenging move for me in Crossfit.

30-20-10
Box Jumps (24″/20″)
Medball Cleans (20#/14#)
Mountain Climbers (L/R=1)
8:53

Holy crap has my metcon died over the last month. The medball cleans turned out to be the hardest movements. Link to this whiteboard (WFS): [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/93561498@N00/8138896686/[/url]

Day Two of Hurricane Sandy

CrossFit Gym was closed, my home gym was flooded, so I went to the stairs. I had been doing this workout fairly regularly in 2011, but somehow got out of the habit. Man o man is it intense! A "circuit" starts on the 3rd floor, goes up to the 14th floor, then comes back down to the 3rd floor.

Did 3 circuits in 13:55(278 seconds per circuit)
There was some actual "hurrying" on the last lap!

Compare to 5-9-2011:
7 circuits in 33:48 (290 seconds per circuit)

And compare to April, 2011
6 circuits in 29:05 (298 seconds per circuit)

good alternative JT to just giving up like many would have

last nite

2 board 1 RM bench 215lbs

super set x 5

10 35 lb dbell bench press
10 45 lb dbell bent row

then

5 x 8 95 lb reverse grip bent row

then off to a meeting where i had 3 beers and some chips and salsa. tossed and turned all nite and work up feeling like crap. guess i have to be more aware of what i am eating and drinking since completing the 28 day challenge.

even more so since my wife is going to be starting her 28 day challenge tomorrow and it will be easier for both of us if i just join her rather than fall back into the usual less than perfect eating habits.

darn this crossfit stuff anyways for once again changing my life in an unexpected way.:D

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 
JT- Sorry to hear about Sandy's impact on you. As everyone else said, nice recovery on the workout.

Cliff- +1 on the "darn this crossfit stuff." I've pretty much given up beer and I pay close attention to my other alcohol consumption. I've found that more than 1 or 2 drinks plays havoc on my sleep.

11/1 WOD

Overhead Squat: 20 Min to find 1RM (One Rep Max)
145

15 Min AMRAP:
9 Overhead Squats (50% 1RM)
12 Toes to Bar
15 Air squats
6 rounds + 9 OHS @ 75#

Good day for bad reps. Overhead squats and toes to bar are two movements that give me a great deal of difficulty establishing full range of motion. After easily lifting 135 OHS I hit 145, but not full depth. I tried three more reps where I achieved full depth but never managed to get 145 back out of the squat. I recorded 145 anyway because I wanted to the AMRAP at 75#. Again, I had issues with my knee tracking inward.

On the AMRAP I had difficulties getting to full depth on the OHS. Christina noted both knees were tracking in and suggested setting up with a narrower stance. I also getting my toes to the bar. Very quickly in the process I did most of the toes to bars in three sets of four, very seldom actually contacting the bar after the second or third round. My metcon is still suffering.

Big class this morning, good job to Christina for keeping us moving and big props to Mike Mac for hitting a 205# OHS.

Got some excellent coaching in the Shed o' Pain from Tim.
Got pointers on improving form on TGUs, setting up for Olympic lifting, and the split snatch. Did some light split snatches (95#, 105#) to work on form.

Went rock climbing in the late afternoon. Did 7 or 8 routes.
CrossFit really translates into rock climbing!

Bill, congrats on Helen improvement!

11/3 WOD (Saturday)
50-40 Squat cleans (45#)/Sit ups/one 200 meter run
30-20-10 Push ups/Jump lunges/one 200 meter run (not after last round of 10)
Partner WOD, each does the number of reps but only one works at a time except for run.

25:23
Worked with Big Phil. Fun one. Announced on board as only squat cleans and sit ups, changed during WOD to last sets being push ups/jump lunges. That sped things up a bit.

11/4 workout @ Bacara
5 x 3 low bar back squats
185-205-215-215-225
The only bar at Bacara is on a Smith machine, and I had avoided it for a while, but I really need more strength work, so figured it was better than nothing. I set a low chair under me and tapped it each time, ensuring full ROM. The weights were light but I wanted to make sure I went deep enough.

5 x 3 weighted dips
25-30-35-40-50(f, 2 only)
Good ROM here too, made sure my elbow angle passed 90 degrees on each dip.

11/5 WOD
Clean High Pull
3-3-3-3-3
95-95-95-115-115
Actually did a lot more than 5 sets of 3. Kept weight light and really worked on popping hips. Poppled so well I knocked my Johnson one rep.

7 Min AMRAP
30 Double Unders
100 M Farmers Carry
4 rounds exactly with 1.5 pood kettlebells on Farmer's Carry.

3 Min rest
5 Min AMRAP
10 Wall Balls (20#/14#)
10 Russian Kettlebell Swings (2pd/1.5pd)
4 rounds.
This was really a gasser! Wall balls deteriorated to just a couple at a time and kettlebell swings done in sets of 5 very quickly into the AMRAP

william....ya gotta try rock climbing...squamish is a rock climbing mecca and i blew off rock climbing for years as something i would never try. then about 8 or 9 years ago a friend who is a guide took me up the face of the chief [url]www.stawamuschiefpark.ca[/url] (wfs) which is the second largest granite monolith in the world. i think it was something like 10 or 12 pitches. i was hooked after that.

as i have gotten stronger in crossfit i find i enjoy climbing more. still suck at it :) however as i am not one to stand around and think a move through but rather try to power my way onto the next one.

Cliff - My hat's off to you on the rock climbing. I like hiking i the high country but there is a point of "vertical" where I am really uncomfortable. I was ok with heights until I decided to try skydiving years ago; now I can't stand seeing a whole lot of air between me and the ground. :eek:

11/6
Warmup: Row 700m; Abmat sit-ups; weighted back extensions; ring pull-ups; back squats 45, 85, 105X5/ 130X3
Lift: Back squats 140, 160X5/ 180X7
Assist: Back squats 105#X3X10
Skills: 45# clean & jerk/ 45# snatch

Squats were hard today. Guessing it is a carryover from Sunday's bike ride. Near the end of that ride, the climbs started getting to me; felt like my brakes were on. ;)

Election Day

Walked half a mile to the polling place, voted, walked home.

@William:
There is an excellent rock climbing gym in Dayton where you can try it out.

Also, living in Dayton you are pretty close to decent outdoor climbing at John Bryant State Park, and to world class climbing at the Red River Gorge in Kentucky.

@Cliff:
You made up that name for climbing right? :)
Squamish is big medicine, and a world class climbing destination.
Glad you got to enjoy it.

Todays WOD:
At the box:
Rowing and walking lunges to warm up.
Then...
Rowed 1500 in 6:09
Did weighted situps and toes to bar.
Then...

Rowed 250, 10x225# deads, 5 3 mat HSPU
Rowed 200, 8x225# deads, 4 3 mat HSPU
Rowed 150, 6x225# deads, 3 3 mat hspu
Rowed 100, 4x225# deads, 2 3 mat hspu
Rowed 100, 2x225# deads, 1 3 mat hspu

Then, since I was feeling saucy, I kicked off my shoes and got a 2 ab mat HSPU! Won't be long now until it's a zero mat HSPU!!!!

JT you are right. i don't think there is a climb named the face of the cheif. if i remember right we strung together 5 or so routes to make it up the face.

squamish is a great place to live. in the summer we have at least one squamish "tri" day if not more but they are tough to pull together.

breakfast in the smoke bluffs for a couple hours of climbing, then lunch followed by a couple hours of either mountain biking or hiking to a lake for a swim followed by a late afternoon snack then 9 holes of golf and dinner.

tonite at the gym

100m hard as you could row

then the clock started 30 135lb zerker squats w/ 500 m row

3:30

then 25 minutes streching. tonite was a reminder why not to eat a yam and half less than an hour before class. did not really feel all that great after that one.:D

11/7 WOD

8 Rounds For Time
3 Handstand Push Ups
10 Box jumps (24″/20″)
200 M Run

14:18
This was a fun WOD! All HSPU's strict and unbroken except for 7th round (1 kip) and 8th round (3 kips). Box jumps have been a little slower lately because I am stepping down with alternate feet instead of jumping down. A little less wear and tear on knees. Got lapped by Shane on 7th run -- he was really moving. Ran hard my last lap and full-on sprinted last 50 meters or so.

Warm up involved leap frogs, worked with Alex. Very lucky (1) I did not bash my crotch on his head and (2) I did not stamp his fingers on landing. (Alex is tall. That knowledge is helpful to appreciate the humor of my post.)
