Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
[QUOTE=John Scott Rezendes;545364]Howdy All,
I've been lurking for a while and finally registered. Hope you don't mind the intrusion...it's hard to find over 50 CrossFitters in Hinesville, GA. Anyway, I'm a m/51/5'11/185 and have been xfitting for about a year. I retired from the army after 31 years in 08 and my wife is still on active duty (quite a bit younger than I). I like to follow about 3-5 days behind the main page WOD so I can figure out/self-train any unexpected movements/techniques...that being said today I did 18 rounds + 5 pull ups in 30 minutes of: Five pull-ups Five ring dips 15 Sit-ups We don't have a CrossFit gym here so I workout either at home or on Fort Stewart at the military gym. Thats all I got. Scott[/QUOTE] Welcome Scott, Nice to have another over 50 CFer join us. Great job on that WOD! So is the military gym set up with CrossFit equipment? I imagine the price is right if you are retired :) So do you follow the 3 on 1 off schedule? I started out 3 months ago doing 4 days a week because of our affiliates schedule and the fact that my body couldn't handle much more. I have now added another day so Thursday and Sundays are my rest days. Again welcome aboard looking forward to you post more. Terry |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
John-
Great workout. Hope you keep posting. |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Terry,
I generally follow the 3 on 1 off, but because I stay at home and take care of ("take care of" is really more like free-range childcare) my 4 yo boy and 5 yo girl, I have to mix it up a little. My rest days rarely are. I'm also training for the sprint triathlon season so I try to follow the CFEndurance prescription. 30 years of jumping out of airplanes has left me with a couple of mushy knees so I can't run as far as I used to...or as fast. And no, the gym here doesn't have any real CF equipment; some kettlebells but that's it. I've been hitting them up for some med balls, rings, ropes, bumper plates, etc...we'll see how that shakes out under our new belt-tightening economy. |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
All,
Supposed to be a CF rest day for me, so I defaulted to a CFE tabata C2 row with: 10 x 20 sec on/10 sec rest; covered 785 meters |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Scott,
Welcome to the boards.....and the Over 50 CFers' "Club!" Great work you are doing - - it's hard not having a "box" where you can share in your pain with others.....Kudos for "rockin' it" on your own! Mark and Terry, Awesome work you have had going on. You both did Murph proud! I have had to postpone mine [I][B]again[/B][/I] due to a painful R/Achilles which doesn't seem like it wants to cooperate with R&R..... Been busy the last three with job searching and a touchy stomach.....hope I haven't lost too much ground with all the rest days I've taken. Take care all! |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Hey Diane,
Haven't heard from you for a while - - just wondering how goes it??? |

Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Stephen-
I miss seeing those workouts. Hope your break job hunting does not get too extended. I Decided to take my rest day tomorrow and work one day behind the main WODs from that point. So today I just had fun working out. Did CFWUx3 and 6 mins. Treadmill run OHS 3 sets of 10x45lbs. Back squat 5x95, 5x115, 5x135, 1x155, 1x175, 1x185 (this felt easy, but always feel like I am risking injury if I go higher), 10x135 Dumbell bench press 10x40lb. dumbbells, 7x40 Dips 3 sets of 5 Rowed for 4 minutes (the computer was not working again) 15 push-ups Will definitely rest tomorrow. |

Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Terry,
Your shoulder press PR rocks. I've been fighting to bust 140lb for a couple months. The Push Press & Push Jerk PR falls pretty regular but I cannot get past 140 on the push press. Took yesterday and today off reminding myself that growth occurs with rest. Of course I still struggle to get my diet on track. If I could figure out how to stay in the zone for a few weeks I'd be ripped like a movie ticket...hard when the kids want pizza and I'm eating turkey and cottage cheese. Tomorrow's Back Squat. My PR last week when I did the CFT was 215...we'll see if I can keep from killing myself with a self-spotting power rack and no bumper plates... |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Terry,
WOOT! Rockin' press work. Man, are you progressing by leaps and bounds! I am impressed by the jump in poundage. Great job! |

Hear ya about the Zone stuff too. It's a lot easier for me - - supportive wife and grown daughter, but sometimes you just simply wanna eat that "crack." Never in my life, have I actually "felt" what I've eaten until I started CF and got my diet dialed in. Man, I can kill my workout with a couple of cookies...... Hope the BS goes well tomorrow. Do you lift at a globo? Take care! |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Thanks for the props guys on the PR. It felt good. For some reason my push presses are weak, I think its my form but I am working on it...I should be hoisting up about 20% more (180lbs) than a shoulder press. Maybe I will have to work on it by itself.
I have been on the zone fairly strict since Jan and it has made a difference. I stray on the weekends but try not to, my job helps make it easy to stay on it as we have a nice kitchen with 2 fridges. I am attending the Nutrition cert this weekend by Rob Wolf, just read the course materials, this should be good. There are few things about the zone I learned...interesting stuff. I am beginning to realize what we put in our body has just as much or more to do with how we perform. I was down to 201lbs Sat. morning...haven't been under 200 in 20 years. Saturday night our affiliate had his delayed grand opening, we had a BBQ and keg of beer, it was a lot of fun. We did a Century club, 1 shot of beer and 3 push ups every minute for 100 minutes. I was out of the zone by the end of the night.:) |

I too finally got to drop under 200 - - for the first time in over 8 years. As for the Century club, I'd have been under the table in 10 minutes.....:rofl: My presses are a lot weaker than I'd like, but with my lack of experience, I believe they will come. I just need to remember to not stray from the Zone - - I like it and it likes me.....and to drink enough water. I have been really slacking off in that department and find that about 100 oz a day is right at the bare minimum I need to really function well. What do you think of trying to do heavy thrusters as a way to build overall pressing/squatting strength? I'm thinking of a workout with 1/2 BW (don't know if I can get 135 up yet unless I use a rack) and going say, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, for example.... |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Today did CFWUx3
Did Deadlift 21x185lbs. Run 800m Deadlift 15x185lbs. Run 800m Deadlift 9x185lbs. My time: 28:33 All running was on treadmill at 0%incline |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Back Squats today after a pretty smoking warm up that included:
pullups (3x10 kipping), dips (3x10), wall ball shots (3x10), burpees (3x10) hand stand push ups using the smith machine (3x5) jump rope for 1minute x 3 then the back squats 135x3 155x3 175x3 195x3 215x1 215x2 F Just couldn't get the last two. 215 is my BS PR. Left knee felt kinda tweaky. Also jumped rope for a minute between sets. I'm guessing I really just need some coaching to improve form. Felt pretty strong throughout. |

Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Glad to see everyone got a decent workout in today. My WOD fell apart pretty quick after a 3xCFWU as follows:
What was supposed to have been 5 rounds for time of 155lb hang squat clean x 9 3 rope ascents turned into this: wheels came off before I got started good. warmed up with HSC @ 95, 115 and 135. when I started the clock I fell apart with 155lbs...so I scaled to 135lb and felt so crappy I scaled yet again to 115 and re-started the clock. Felt so freaking uncomfortable with the HSC that I defaulted to front squats at 115lbs and 25 jumping towel pull ups....all 5 rounds took me 18:08 and left me smoked but feeling inadequately trained...I really gotta find a cert... |

Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
Terry,
Thanks for the info on the CFSB article. I hear you regarding gains in one area vs. losses in another. Food for thought. Two WODs on the 23rd? You are an animal! Sorry to hear about the calf. R/Achilles still bothering me and has reduced me to no running/walking WODs right now. Am excited - - if all goes well, I'll be picking up a C2 over in Santa Cruz tomorrow. It's a Mod. C, but doesn't matter to me - - I love 'em all! Strong work on the 070113 WOD! I'm learning most of my CF work needs concentration on upper body strength increases. My bench, pull-up, and push-up work is lacking......This may be a good place to employ to CFSB work - - happy reading to me! Take care! |
Re: Over 50 CrossFitters Sign In
today was JT: 21-15-9
Handstand Push Ups Ring Dips Push ups 19:07 Used the smith machine for assisted HSPU, otherwise as rx'd Had to break the ring dips up. Got a lot of funny stares as I was rigging my rings on the smith. Left side lat bothersome today, but that's ok 'cause tomorrow is my deep tissue massage. Woo-Hoo! Terry, I have battled calf strains/pulls/pain for nearly ten years now. I have found relief using a massage stick ([url]http://thestick.com/index.cfm[/url]) and lots of calf stretching. A really good article on stretching the calf can be found at: [url]http://sanfranciscocrossfit.blogspot.com/2008/11/your-calves-are-tight-bro.html[/url] Hope this helps Scott |

Two WODs on the 23rd? You are an animal![/QUOTE] OOPs typo, the second WOD was on the 24th. Scott, Thanks a bunch for the info. Yeah, this is not the first time. Did this a few times before, softball and street hockey. At least this time it was what I would call minor. I think the biggest contributor was the shoes I wore for this WOD. I have been wearing VFF's [url]http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/[/url] (WFS) for a while and thought I would try them running. I think with no heal support caused me to over stretch the tendon and muscle. Fortunately my calf feels much better today. I am not sure if it’s CF or diet or what but my recovery these days is seem so much quicker. Thx again. |

Stephen, I'm gonna do that FGB next week. I do love the metcon stuff...the kids always wonder why daddy can't get off the couch afterwards...
Did Murph today sans body armor. My wife's in the field or I'd a used hers. They made me turn mine in when I retired last year. Anyway, so Murph looked like this: ran a mile on the treadmill 8:08 partitioned all the pullups, pushups and squats into 10x10-20-30 sets. I managed to do all the pull ups unbroken, but the push ups and squats had to break after the 3rd set. ran the last mile at 8:13 51:02 a new PR by nearly 3 minutes |

Congrats on the PR! Great mile times also. Still waiting to do mine....messed up Achilles, but I think if I can swing it, I'll do a rowing Murph....I need to see if a long push on the rower causes any issues with the achillies. FGB is a fun suckfest. Never have tried it with a vest - - had to turn mine in also when I retired. Have a great weekend! Steve |

I did 95-115 and my wrists could not handle the bend. Switched to back squats and did 135-155-175-145 Today, I set out to do 4 rounds of run 800m and on third 800 my left calf got tight with about 100m to go, so hobbled to a finish of 4:11 on that one. Did first two 800's in 4:02 and 3:56 Did all running on high school track. Came back to the house and did AMRepsAP in 2 minutes of squats, push-ups, sit-ups, with 1 minute rest between. I did 55 squats 37 push-ups 45 sit-ups |
