Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Belated Happy birthday Claw!!
Haven't posted for a long while, however not many days go by where I haven't been thinking about you all.

I have been keeping up 4 days a week at CF along with running 3-7miles runs a couple of days a week (in preparation for the the end of summer 200mile Hood to Coast Relay race that I am going to participate in for the first time)

Life has been full (to say the least) as I have been doing repairs on our Vacation home as well as fulfilling my obligation as a Chaplain and Heading up the Marriage Ministry Department at our Church--
So that is the excuse I am sticking by for not posting on the site!

The good news for me is my Separated Shoulder is nearly back 100% and I am beginning to gain upper body strength and increased ROM in my left shoulder! As well as after nearly 1-1/2yrs I am again able to do push-ups on my flat right right hand and do a few ring dips and HSPU's (with only the tiny red band assist!! (looking forward to getting that Muscle up (again) soon!!
(My major goal is to NOT GET HURT THIS YEAR) doing STUPID STUFF outside of CF and gain strength, improve lifting technique and be in the best shape of my life by the Qualifying round for the 2013 games (60+ masters division)

Believing for everyone here to continue in the direction of their dream, enjoy the Journey and have a BLESSED and joyous Summer!

Tim;)

6/22 WOD

Box Squats
5-5-5-5-5
225-225-245-245-255
Used an 18" box. Last time I used a 20# box with an Abmat and did 275 x 5. I think going lower is the way to go. I did these reps quite quickly, exploding off box as soon as I sat and unweighted my toes for an instant. Seemed to work.

1 Round For Time:
100 Air squats
50 Comp push-ups
3:15.
Finished fastest of the 6 a.m.'ers, which was a nice surprise. (I am praying I didn't miscount reps. :)) Link to this morning's whiteboard (WFS): [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/93561498@N00/7420615958/[/url]

Claw - Awesome job on the Box squats!![QUOTE]Finished fastest of the 6 a.m.'ers, which was a nice surprise.[/QUOTE] Not to us! You're a firebreather!

Pat - Way to go on that Front Squat WOD! Were your ears burning? I was touting you as the 67 year old with the CrossFit Total over 1000!

Tom - That regional WOD was rough even doing half & half!! I think you'd blast through it if you halved it again!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

did whister, b.c. tough mudder yesterday.

12 miles of fun in a twisted sort of way. my back cramped up after about 4 miles but then the crawl through the pipes fixed that, then the jump in the lake still frozen lake cooled us off however i could have done with out the lower body cramps from miles 8 - 12.

learned that my wife bounces quite well when she fell from the top of the berlin walls and that taping your shoes on is a really good idea. she has brusies in places that we are not sure how they got there.

not sure that our clothes will ever be clean but it certainly was the most fun 3 1/2 hours i have ever had.

i am glad i had the crossfit base to carry me as i think there will be a lot of people not feeling all that great today. out of the 14,000 people registered i don't think i saw not one unhappy face yesterday.

the rest of my team faired quite well also.
