[/QUOTE]

JB- You inspired me so I decided I had to start somewhere.

7/17
WU: Row 800m; upper body mobility; hip stretches; shoulder press 50/60X5, 70X3
Lift: Shoulder press 85/95X3, 105X10
WOD: Nasty Girls (scaled) 3 RFT
20 squats
10 chest to bar pull-ups (assisted)
10 ring dips
45# hang power cleans
10:11
Cashout: 10 pull-ups (assisted)
10 burpees (Yay! Burpees!!)

Squats and pull-ups were unbroken. Dips were sets of 5; hang power cleans started unbroken and devolved to sets of three.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

John B. - That's an impressive amount of Burpees!! (Yay! Burpees!!)

[B]WU:[/B]
400m run
2 rounds:
10 14# Med ball Cleans
10 Hip extensions
3 Wall walks

[B]WOD:[/B]
20 rep Back Squat, 155# [I]20# heavier than a few weeks ago![/I]

Then
3RFT:
20 Push Press, 95#
20 Hand Release Pull Ups
20 Pull Ups

Rest 2 min between rounds

16:37

[I]Talk about a shoulder burner!! Kept breaking the movements into subset of about 5 or so. Trying to be consistent helped a lot. While I was slow on the Push Presses, I made up time on the push ups & pull ups. Finished ahead of most of the scaling folks, due to the pull ups.

On the round, I banged my chin on the bar! Hurt, but I felt good that I was getting my chin over the bar!! :D[/I]

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Its been a while workout somewhat regular but was skipping the logging.

I hit a long term goal of 315# on the deadlift. I had a few breakthroughs such as 135# power clean push press (now can do 1 x 10) had gotten 135 inconsistently in the past, now its reliable. Not calling clean & jerk since my technique can use some work. Did 155# power cleans 1 at a time then hit 3 or 4 on the last one.

My only regret is I didn't go for a true 6 ring deadlift went 2 45s a 25 and 2 10s on each side.

I am glad I hit some PRs I spend half my time inspired by the games performances and half wow so many years at this and I am so far away from these kind of performances. Truly inspiring.

My next set of focus is forming around indoor rock climbing.
Pistol progressions
rope pull ups
fake climbing rock pull up or progressions.
fat gripz work on barbell (big foam things that go around bar)

I realized that 220# may be too much to hold up on a little plastic rock thing hanging on the wall. Get stronger or get lighter and be able to hold on.

Everyone keep up the good work, this is a good place come to get inspired.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Tom - congrats on the deadlift PR.

7/18 Rest day
Upper body mobility, KStarr lower body work on the hips and some core work
One forearm is quite sore from yesterday's Nasty Girls workout.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

7/18 WOD

4 Rounds For Time
5 Muscle ups
20 Box jumps (24″/20″)
30 Overhead Walking Lunges (45#/25#)
400m run

DNF.
Two rounds completed with only partial muscle ups before I left. This was a very disappointing WOD this morning. I had to leave right on time and we got a late start, and it became pretty evident that I was not to be able to complete it in time. My first 2 muscle ups were strung together, then I missed a couple, then I accomplished the third. After multiple misses, Fielding said to attempt until we got three fails then move on. 24 inch box jumps were fine, I find I like stepping down instead of jumping down on high volume box jump WODs. The are a little slower, but I can go steadier. 30 overhead lunges with a 45 pound plate are very taxing. The run went fairly slow. All in all, I was disappointed in my performance. I wish I did not have to leave because I hate to not finish a workout, but the rate things are going, it would probably have taken another 15 minutes to finish my second two rounds.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Tom - Great work on the Deadlifts & Power Cleans! Just remember the weight difference between a ton of feathers and a ton of rocks!! :D (Though I've found that 2 25# and 4 10# plates on a bar seem easier to move than 2 45#!!)

Claw - Sorry to hear about the DNF! Some days are just like that!! :shrug:

[B]WU:[/B]
500m row
dynamic Stretching:
40 ft:
High Knees
Butt Kickers

Hip Openers

10min AMRAP:
7 Strict Push Ups
7 95# Shoulder Presses

5 rounds + 7 Push Ups + 3 Presses

then
5 min AMRAP:
TGU's (1 Pood)

[I]The wait at the bottom was brutal - especially on the 2nd rep! The Push up-Press AMRAP was tough. Could only do Strict Pull Ups until the middle of the 2nd round Pull Up set. Kipped the rest of the time. Presses were brutal also.
TGUs are harder than they have a right to be! Tried 1.5 Pood, but couldn't do it after the previous AMRAP - Not that it would have helped![/I]

I was working up in weight once and about to hit a milestone, just 2.5# per side more I left a 2.5# plate in front of the bar to remind me it was only a tiny bit more.

I plan on backing off from the deadlift as a regular lift, and hit heavy power cleans. Except for the next time I am around bumpers 6 rings :kicking0:

Thanks to all for the kind words.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

7/19 WOD
Kiwi's Endurance Seminar

5 SBAC Stadiums
50m Walking lunges
5 SBAC Stadiums
50m Walking lunges
5 SBAC Stadiums (10 squats at top)

Could not keep running up all stairs on all sets; I had to walk the upper, steep part, a few times. Tried to hang with the fast kids (Parkour, Malzone, Kiwi, and The Lesser Fit Gannon) but was slowest of that group. (I think Kiwi overestimated us, because we were originally told we would do 5 sets of 5. That might have lead to a mutiny, however, so we eased off both the 50 meter walking lunges -- which actually come pretty easily to me -- and the last 2 rounds.)

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

William great workout. Holding at the bottom is tough--yet I think it really helps to lock into the brain the "bottom" of a back squat.

WUP of Pull ups, V-ups, KB swings, ring push ups, stretches for 2 rounds.

5X2 Hang snatches w/o hip flexion. 85.....135.

WOD

3RFT
20 Power snatches @95#
20 Hands up pull ups.

7:53.
