Tabata OHS with PVC = 15.
Went first round at about 80%, hit 15, and stuck it out to the end. Could maybe have maintained 16, but in some of my intervals getting to 15 in 20 seconds was tight.

Then,
Max goblet squats (1 pood) in 3 mins = 75
1 min rest
Max burpees in 3 mins = 39
1 min rest
Max pull ups in 3 mins = 40
2 min rest

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Took a rest day today (still walking kinda stiff) I was privileged to offer a Christian Sunday morning service at the Portland Roadster Show today and it was really a lot of fun. I spent thousands of my kids inheritance $ (in my mind) drooling over some of the amazing cars, trucks and custom bikes!--I was also surprised to have been awarded best in Class for my Custom Soft tail Chopper that I entered. As part of my works of service I as well provided security for the competitors while they attended the awards cerimonies at the end of the day.

Ok back on topic; John B. I too got a lot out of watching your videos--your rhythm on the Wall-balls was truly amazing and gave me a lot to shoot for as I found myself putting the ball down way to often (costing me a lot of time)

Alden--sounds like there is a pattern shown here by at least some of us as to getting DU's to come together? As for me it has been over 2-1/2 years and to date I have not linked more than "5". I recently decided to actually listen to the coaches as to working on "teaching my mind" to recognize the difference in the speed of both my jump and the rope by varying both (doing single unders and as well quite watching my feet!--it is working as I can now at least do single unders without looking like a spastic (most of the time)

Jim C- I Cut and pasted that workout you did and pinned on my desk backboard as a great one to do!!!==thanks

From looking at the postings of many of you it is becoming apparent that I need to do a LOT MORE WU and Cool down's after the WOD's!! Likely that is what is causing my recovery after the longer WOD's to take so darn long!!

Looking forward the the whooping prescribed for us on WEDNESDAY:D

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Everything about CrossFit demonstrates weaknesses. Try something new; find a weakness.... I downloaded the University of Wyoming jump rope program and worked on some of the drills. Nothing fancy, just the the one legged hops like I used to do. Now my ankles are stiff. This over 50 CrossFit stuff isn't for sissies. ;-)


3/19/2012 Row, KB Swings, pull-ups

Warm-up: jump rope, Abmat sit-ups, back extensions, dynamic stretching

Workout: 3 RFT
Row 500m
35# KB swings X 20
Assist pull-ups X10
13:35

Cash out: t-spine and shoulder mobility work, PVC snatch, PVC OH squats. Trying to improve shoulder and t-spine mobility; focusing hard on keeping the arms straight overhead and torso as erect as possible.

This morning's workout was a bit surreal. We had a power outage so I was wearing my camping headlamp for the warmup and to do the workout. It was really hard to convince my body to get moving since it was so dark in the basement.
