Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

WOD
Teams of 2 complete a 20min AMRAP of:
15 Barbell jump squats 45/33
Indoor suicide sprint
3 Wall walks

*Only one partner may work at a time during the sprints and barbell jump squats – partner A is resting while partner B performs the jump squats and sprints and vice-versa.* However, both partners may overlap and complete their wall walks at the same time.

My partner and I completed 9 rounds. Those wall walks took a toll. Not clear in this description, each round started and ended with three wall walks.

That freaking Nick, he did it again!!!
Seemed like such an innocuous little workout. All these tiny pieces he's been giving me one at a time; and NOW I see the big snatch picture! Know exactly what he wants me to do.

I stopped thinking for the beginning and they were great tonite. He said my position was great and I was getting under on the hangs, for a change. He even said a few were perfect. I was much snappier and he said it was good (will still need to work on speed - I just have to glance around to realize THAT).

On the ones from the floor, they started pretty well w/speed etc. He was trying to get me to sit lower faster, was going ok for a while. But I realized with the heavier weight and when I try to slam myself under - the bar is in good position but I PUSH the bar forward, and stop the sit higher than I should - I realized Im worried that I'll go all soft at the very bottom and lose it. And I tend to be way too narrow landing. Gotta get over that. So instead of going up to 40 I went to 25 and did doubles practicing going down fast (Nick left during 35s, leaves me with Justin babysitting).

I also asked him about the extension/pull height - he said yes, you have to jump under fast and - he is of the school of thought that when you're experienced, as soon as you break the weight off the floor your body KNOWS how high to pull... pull to armpits/nipples on sn/clean and get your a$$ down.

Bummer with my trap and the jerks, it seized up on me with that tight burny sore and they sucked from the get go.

The gym was packed...all kinds of student athletes in there; the one kid told Nick he's not sure about this school, 'supposed to be professional college athletes! - but the bar racks are locked up!' They are locked, when no one's there, the bars are expensive and they damage them, and Danica has a bar she keeps locked there too. He just squatted to parallel the kid, coulda done that in the globo part (but no!) I hope the janitor notices the place is packed with 17-25yos good looking girls soon. Giving me the heebie jeebies!!

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In

saw a competition in mid October, so I decided to start the Wendler 5-3-1- program again this Monday. No one showed for the 6 am class, so I spent the time easing back into my lifts and getting some coaching.

Multiple air box squats, ham stretches, etc.

2X5X 135 BS, 5X 185, 5X225, 3X 335.

DL: 2X5X 135, 5X225, 3X315, 2X405, 1X495.

2X15X225 DL for speed.

Good start. My hands took a minor beating.

Went down in weight at the 8th round cause a buddy said my form was wrong. My hips were going up first. To save my back I didn't try for 285. Will work on form at lighter weight.

Very happy with my progress. Could barely DL 185 4 months ago.

Bill, thanks for reminding me! Day five of Burpee challenge! Nice week Bill Can't imagine doing that gymnastics WOD, even with a couple of large helium balloons tied to my back.

Tonight was a leg day at the gym with my trainer. Front squats on the smith machine (25lbs each side), heavy leg press (6 plates each side:PR I think), leg extensions, lunges, sissy squats and calves.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Burpee Challenge - they're not so horrible if you do 30 every day. I kinda miss them! And it also got me 100 burpees in just under 7 minutes. I miss being in shape.

annoying. One clean at 45 is easy, the next a struggle to get up, gotta be my catch and landing somehow. So much easier when my chest is up. Last jerk was the best, i should practice more. Im going to try 1-2 [B]THREE[/B] count so my dip (1-2) is slow and then explode.

I asked my coach Nick about two lifters I watched Sat - I noticed they bend their arms at the start of the 2nd pull - to bring it in to them closer. And I got the speech "do you HEAR when I coach you?" Yes he HAS told me repeatedly it slows down bar velocity and its wrong. Just checking since it seems they do it right by their crotches. Im still envious that their barbell is closer to their crotch than my bar is to me. Oh yeah and the baseball team made me feel real good about my squat, for a change. :cool:

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Deb, good idea to wait for a spot on bench for any new weight.

Bill H., set your goals for a little higher for 64. At the rate you are going and the development of Crossfit games, I suppose that there were eventually be true age group competition like other sports: 60-64, 65-69, etc.

Wendler: 5-3-1. Back Squat: 5X 240, 285, 315. Stopped at 285. Knees problem that required attention. Coach gave me a route.

Skill work: Jog 200m., Pull up progression (closed grip) dead hang 10,8,6,6,6.
Front squat (limited by knee issue)

WOD: 5RFT: 200m run, 50 DU, 10 thrusters 115#.

Good work out, still rebuilding my aerobic base.

Generally speaking the trainers will cap a WOD they think should be done in a given amount of time based on mainsite demo times. Some days I get disgruntled with it because I'm trying to get my WOD's closer to Rx'd in weight and that forces me to go slower. I have no doubt I would have finished the WOD between 26-28 minutes. I have often wondered if other boxes do that. Especially since I'm one of the only 4 or 5 masters aged peeps there.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Cliff - Sounds like you're making GREAT progress!! That's what you need to focus on!!

David - I'm still finding my "P"'s in many ways!! ;)

Michelle, Perry - I know that frustration when they cap a WOD, but that usually means that the WOD becomes a different one, i.e. starts using a different metabolic pathway. I usually trust what the instructors are telling me to do. Frustrating at times, but it's been working so far!

55kg/1 dump; by this time my trap/snatch boo boo was killing me - when it hurts, its just as painful as the day I did it, feels like a knife stuck in my back there. I didnt bounce i just wanted to get the bar off my neck. Kinda disappointing it was going pretty good, the squatting; again a student made mine look GREAT!

They were talking about somebody talking to some girl and will it be a relationship like a bf/gf thing or what (theyre ALL young very good looking very nice boys great personalities! can date anybody!!). Pete and I were laughing in the codger's corner - I told them, what youre worried about THAT? "relationship" "marriage" overrated!! Doesnt matter - you either committed or not regardless of how "official it is; if the girl's talking to you at all about seeing you and then, its well, oh, i kinda sorta have a BF - SHE'S NOT COMMITTED! fair game go after it! Probably think Im crazy, but you can be married and NOT committed!! Granny giving life advice, OMG :rofl:
I saw my grandbaby on a sonogram today just one (twins & triplets run through all four families) - looks like a speck! Its the size of a grain of rice yet - he/she (i dont care, long as its a healthy baby) due in April. Well I know it'll have light blue eyes and blonde hair!!
