Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Yea, for those of you who want to try this squat ladder.. remember--bar only (mens/womens): OHS for 10 rounds, FS for 10 rounds, then BS for the remainder.. it feels "not too bad", but .... watch out!! have some good Upper body wod's lined up for the rest of the week!

I have done the 20/15/10 Backsquat thing for a while now and it is actually very good as well. Start with light weight (about 65% 1RM)and begin with the 20 reps, then go up in weight for the 15 and again for the 10 (no racking the bar during a set). Then the next time (I was doing this once a week until i failed) add more weight to each set. I just went up 5# each time and 5# for each set cuz it gets heavy really fast!!

Today's wod was good.:
Started with strength: Front squat.. (what is it about this week with the squats!?) 3 x 5 I can barely squat still!! 105/115/120 (no pr, was lucky to get to 120 today!)

AMRAP 10 min
10 Deadlift (225/135)
5 Push press (135/75)
I used women's bar with 1lb (fractionals) on the deadlift bar, so I was 135 for deads, 73 for PP..
I got in 7 rounds. much tougher than it looks.

Have a great weekend everyone.. i'm gonna rest these old (but still sexy!) legs!! ;)

[I][B]100731 FRIDAY

[/B]Have taken most of the week off. 2 mile run (walked 800m of it) to give the hammy a rest ever so often, ran the rest) on Tues. Crazy work schedule has me pretty tired. Still sore from PT on Wednesday and from doing PT exercises at home. Plan to get back into it this next week.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Took yesterday off. Did the following

Thursday 100729

"Isabel"

For time:
Snatch 135 pounds, 30 reps

Done w. 75# to work on form. Need to work on getting under the bar faster and deeper so I can jack the bar up w. extended arms. Lighter weight also let me get the bar overhead (and slightly foward due to shoulder flexibility issues) without torquing my low back. Next time I could reasonably increase the weight. Completed in 6:23.

Finish up with bench press: 10 X 135,155,185,225 (broken).

Fifth day on Paleo Challenge. No slips so far. This is Friday night. Normally my pizza and diet coke night. Grilled veggies and turkey burgers. Cherries for desert. Green iced tea to wash everything down. This evening was the toughest so far.
