Wednesday September 16, 2015

Have been experimenting with multiple shorter walks distributed throughout the day to try to keep my hip/back/butt loose. So...

Walked 1 mile in the morning (this was difficult b/c I was barely awake and muscles joints are used to going straight to work, not for a walk.

Afternoon
Rode over to CTown.
1/2 hour stretching and mobilizing, then:
Clean and Jerk
3x45
3x95
3x145
3x165
2x185
1x195
1x207 (post injury PR)
1x210 (post injury PR)

There were a few press-outs in there. The speed on the jerk is slow. I think I'll need a few hundred reps at 135# and 185# to work on the speed.

Back Squats
3x45
3x95
3x145
3x195 (post injury PR)

Rode my bike home.

Then, later in the evening walked another very easy mile.

I think getting up out of my chair multiple times, even if just for a stretch or walk session, is doing a lot for my hip/back/butt, and certainly is doing a lot for my attitude!

Snatching 75kg (my PR is 80kg) is very very very very encouraging.

[I]This was a little less than 1/2 my Cindy reps. I was surprised at how much the Incline Sit ups added to each round. Of course, I had about several yards to traverse between the Incline rig & the Pull Up bar.[/I]

Mobility and stretching
Tgus at 20, 35, and 20 pounds.
Held a goblet squat for 2 minutes.
Held an overhead squat for 2 minutes.

Deadlifts, hang cleans, and cleans to 220#

[I]I tried to do the DLs in the roundss rounds in subsets of 7-6-5-3, 6-5-4, and 5-4. That worked well except for the 6 subset in the 2nd round. Nobody like the round of 15! I did this about 3 minutes faster than my last attempt in mid June![/I]

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

@Bill, three minutes faster than June is awesome.
