Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Michelle, nice work completing the half-marathon! You've come a long way. I have a half coming up on May 15th.
For people who are trying to improve their jump roping, I couldn't string more than a couple DUs in a row last fall and then started doing the beginner jump rope agility program program at the following link as part of my warm-up every day: [url]http://www.uwyo.edu/uwstrength/info.asp?p=8995[/url] It really helped. A lot of the drills don't involve DUs but will help with fine-tuning your wrist motion, timing and give you a better feel for the rope. Interestingly, I got better at DUs in part by doing the other drills. I also added 20 crossovers to the routine (they are kind of tricky at first but fun when you get them down and they look really cool in the gym). The DUs started coming along pretty naturally once I relaxed withthe rope, stopped muscling them and got better wrist control and timing. Not sure if it will help, but it worked for me. I still do this as part of my warm-up most days. Doing it every single day, if only for 10 minutes, is how to improve. [B][U]March 22[/U][/B] Cycled about 15 miles in around 50 mins. Lots of good hills, but I haven't run the stats on it yet. Forgot my HR monitor, but it was prob in the mid-130s for most of the time. |

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In

That Jump Rope Program is tough!! But, it gave you impressive results! I'm gonna keep at it.[/QUOTE] William, a double jump is a double under. A double jump with a bounce is DU/SU/DU (which I find harder than straight DUs due to the constant change in tempo, but that helps your overall jump rope skills). My run/walk protocol is just a half-marathon training program from Furman Institute of Running ([url]http://www2.furman.edu/sites/first/Documents/Half%20Marathon%20Training%20Program%20-%20metric.pdf[/url]).

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
heavy day today and jessie loves to change it up.
60 lbs kettle bells suspendd on each side of the bar with rubber bands for back squats along with plates. 1-1-1 320-360 f- 340 weird experience having that much weight up and 120 lbs of it wiggling around. |

3/25 WOD
1200 M Run 90 Double Unders 30 Knees to Elbows 800 M Run 60 Double Unders 20 Knees to Elbows 400 M Run 30 Double Unders 10 Knees to Elbows 21:31. Double unders continuing to work well for me finally. I was able to string together mid to high teens to low 20's pretty consistently. We also started with a bonus: Max squats in 2 minutes. 92 (beats my old score of 88). One of the funnest days I've had in a long time. Fourteen Crossfitters showed up! JJ and Danette both did the WOD as Rx'd, i.e. with double unders. Their stick-to-it-iveness was inspiring to see. Congratulations to both of you for digging deep and not quitting! The Claw |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Nice time on that WOD Claw! Your squats are looking pretty damn stong Cliff. Impressive numbers you're putting up.
[B][U]March 25[/U][/B] Easy 2 mile jog on treadmill at 1% (18 mins, HR low 120s) Bench Press: 10x135#, 5x205#, 3x230#, 3x255# (old 1 rep PR was 250, but I know I can do way more than that - I've never tried a 1 rep Bench max) Deadlift: 10x135#, 5x205#, 3x235#, 10x270# DH Pull-Ups: 5, 5, 10 (1 sec pause at bottom of each PU) My recent lack of focus on strength training made its presence known today. 255# felt heavier than I thought it would. I had to regrip the bar on DLs twice due to grip failure, which never happened before at 270#. The knurling on the bar at the gym was slick, but still. Pull-ups also felt weak. |

[B]Jim C[/B] I printed out the jump rope drills and will work on them constantly for a while. We did a simple but effective timed drill this morning.
1 min Singles (practice form and speed) 30s rest 30s Running Man (alternate legs while jummping rope) 30s rest 30s Running Man 30s rest 30s front and rear split (this will help with DU timing) 30s rest 30s side to side (again this will help with DU timing) 30s rest 30s DU (if not DU, then single, but try to get DU) 30s rest 1min DU(if not DU, then single, but try to get DU) 30s rest 1min DU (try for max reps) Just working on this for a little while this morning made me realize that straight singles are easy and through my timing way off on DU's. Side to side and splits were really hard for me. I will be doing this and the one you posted in rotation moving forward. [B]Deb[/B] I always feel weird when I do something like that. I dropped the bar during a front squat last week and hit the rack. Man I hate when that happens. [B]3-24[/B] 5 rounds for time: 13:50 15 reps med ball clean 14# 15 reps wall ball 10# This one hurt me worse than the 10,9,8...did. [B]3-25[/B] Rest aka Judge for Open Sectionals WOD this morning. :) |

[B]3.26.11 Saturday[/B]
Kind of a wasted 1.5 hr drive. Coach was busy teaching other people and I didn't get a workout plan. So warmup, light snatches by myself @ 39 I was pulling with my arms. Gym got crowded and more crowded lot of people waiting. So I got relegated to Snatch Liftoff purgatory and sent home early. 15,12,12,12 at 35, 40,45,50. Coach said my hamstrings look big & thats good (??? no clue). I did get to see Danica snatch a bunch of weight, Rito clean & jerked over 190:yikes:, Oak snatched a big weight, and I got to LO opposite Lou & Peter Musa, fast as F--K!!! like lightning. |

I know this sounds really obvious, but when you're doing stuff like side to side jumps (or pattern jumps in general) you have to remember to move the spot where the rope hits bottom too so the rope and your feet are always in the same place at the same time. I must be stupid because it took me a couple sessions to figure that out (I was having trouble with the up and back jumps). Psyching myself up now to do one of those long unbroken swim workouts that I hate. Writing about workouts, rather than doing them = procrastinating! |
