Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
[U]Today[/U]
Same WU - 2 rounds WOD: Deadlifts 5-5-5-5-5 94-114-134-154-164 (#) Salad count this week: 3 (after this one) ------------------------ To add my 2 cents to the nutrition habits and the whiner's table... I did a 5 week strict paleo/no alcohol back in Feb. I had few mood effects from changing my diet and dropping the last of the grain carbs , probably because I already normally like to eat high fat/low grain. I had a noticable drop in pure strength and a slight increase in metcon scores. I also dropped BF so much so fast that I looked like a "wirey old dude". I naturally stay around 19-20 % without monitoring diet. I felt crappy after 5 weeks but found it hard to "dirty-up " my diet again so that I could feel good. (I did eventually though). I just eat what I want now and find that my appetite and energy levels lead me to the best choices. As far as aches and pains go, I notice that after age 45 the little niggling tendonitis aches, over-used arthritic joints and general muscle/tendon stiffness and tightness are more pronounced everyday and make it harder to want to workout. I try not to moan about it because the way to take care of it is to keep consistent I found. It takes more work to stay comfortable in an older body but I find the DOMS is much less than in a young one. |

I felt like I was reading something I wrote when I read your comments. I echo: "I just eat what I want now and find that my appetite and energy levels lead me to the best choices." "As far as aches and pains go, I notice that after age 45 (I am now 53) the little niggling tendonitis aches, over-used arthritic joints and general muscle/tendon stiffness and tightness are more pronounced everyday and make it harder to want to workout.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Diane, nice job on the push ups.
Did the 5 X 5 dl's. Warm up with 10 X 135 5 X 225 5 X 315 5 X 365 5 X 415 (2 X 415, then failed) 5 X 275. Still learning the hook grip. It went better with the grip today. When the weight got heavy, the grip failed after a few reps. Finished what I could with a flat grip. No cut calluses though.:kicking0: |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Pat, Tim and Tom... monster work on the DL's. Great effort and I am envious of your brute strength.
Friday got away from me, so no workout. Saturday went to the stairs by myself and made up a new wo. 3 rounds of the following: 3 ascents (1st one running, 2nd one taking two steps at a time and 3rd one walking) then a trail run up and down hills for about 2/3 mile. Finished in about 42 minutes. Never caught my breath the whole time. I thought the stair running would get me, but the doubles actually felt harder. Feeling it this morning. Suppose to be 97 degrees and humid here today. Not sure what I will do. |

Intellectually, I know that being a better athlete requires the tolerance of pain. Funny though that sometimes the sensation just doesn't count or is bypassed. I've done some sports psychology work with a local high school cross country team and have worked on this with some the kids. Some get it and some don't. The ones who do are able to use it with their natural ability and outperform their expectations. This doesn't mean that this is not stressful---as you noted this AM. In my triathlon days if I were hurting from a hard run or bike, I'd go to the pool and do a few long kick sets with fins. This is active recovery. |

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
We have 6 new Crossfitters over 50 that joined our Box. One is 72 years old.
I would have to say our first On-Ramp was very successful. 13 people signed up...13 people returning to join our regular classes...100% retention rate! People were really stoked about their new time after repeating the Day 1 WOD on Day 12. Plus a few are already shedding some fat. We have one over 50 member who has dropped 10 lbs the first month...he cut out the sugar. These links are WFS.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
72! That's awesome!
Today, I did pushups on my toes as part of the warm up. Ten of them. I am so thrilled about the pushups! :D Thanks for the kudos, you guys! Then: Sunday 8/09/2009 ***Swing & Slam*** For Time: 50-40-30-20-10 #53 (#35) KB Swing “Russian” #20 (#12) Slam Ball I used a 26# KB and a 10# ball. Oh man, each time around rep 15 my arms were ready to give out on the slam ball. Then I signed up for autopayment at the gym, so I guess I'm officially a CrossFitter. |

[B]Diane M[/B]- On the push ups, You go girl !! (Sorry but I never had a chance to say that to anyone before) [B]Tim[/B]- On the DL, if you don't already have them, try to find some of Mark Rippetoe's books, specifically, Practical Programming. Be careful not to overtrain. 8/9/09 Row 42 min- 10036m Looking to break 40 min for 10k by the end of the year. Weigh in day today, lost 3.6 lbs for a total of 32 lbs lost since May 1. |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Terry...That's exciting news on the retention from ramp up to regulars.
Diane...Little victories, little victories. This weekend, I did not workout at all. Lots of yard work and busy stuff though. CF is a huge boost in quality of life. Worked easily the whole weekend. Just have to learn to be careful with the heat. My tolerance for it is way up, but sometimes I think I go to far and get a bit overheated. Have great week everyone. |

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Mark - DOMS is delayed onset muscle soreness, usually it comes on 12-24 hours later. (Bodybuilder talk I suppose). I used to find it so bad that climbing stairs or getting up and down from a seat was painful after a sqat workout would kill. Now (that I'm older) I find if I get any soreness from intense workouts its usually 48 hours later and not as annoyingly painful.
Diane - keep going on those push ups! That is a good milestone. :pepper: Terry - "ouch" on the back but good decision. Everyone else - nice work, keep posting (I like community) |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Linda-
Thanks DOMS definition. I am definitely one who feels the pain 48 hours later as well. Yesterday- Rest Day Today- Warmed up w/3 rounds of Samson stretch, 15 squats, 15 sit-ups, 15 push-ups from knees. Did “Tabata Something Else” 8 rounds of pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, squats. Completing all rounds in 20 seconds w/10 seconds rest and completing all pull-ups before going to push-ups and so forth. Using 16 minutes for the whole WOD. I did 28 pull-ups 53 push-ups 71 sit-ups 89 squats Total: 241 |

Today - 08/10/09
6AM group workout on the North Shore with Patrick WU: Stretching Short run along river [B]WOD: "Ruin your Legs"[/B] AMRAP 20 minutes 5 burpees 10 lunge jumps 15 squat jumps (10 rounds - The jumping in each exercise was killer. I had to pause numerous times. I did strict burpees with a real push-up only because I'm afraid to do the "flop onto the ground" kind that CF'ers do for speed when I'm on a brick sidewalk) Short rest The dreaded Bottom-to-Bottom :eek: tabata squats (16,12,10,10,10,10,10,10 - [B]I SO despise this[/B] but at least this time I was able to keep count. During the bottoms I squeezed my eyes shut and concentrated on keeping my knees out so I wouldn't think about my exploding quads and impending collapse). Short rest 10 hill runs - ran uphill but walked downhill to avoid a recurrence of the hamstring tendonitis - finished an entire lap behind as a result (The first two laps, my legs were still quivering from the bottom-to-bottoms). Post WOD: 3 x 5 push-ups with a hold (5 seconds, maybe?) at the bottom (would that make these bottom-to bottom push-ups?!?) I failed on round 3, rep 5. BOTTOM-TO-BOTTOM BROCCOLI :broc::broc::broc::broc: (Brad is too tired to dance after the BTBs) |

Tim, Regarding DL’s, I can only talk about my personal experience. And please note that I am vertically challenged but horizontally proficient, therefore, what works for me may not translate to an individual who is significantly taller that 5’10”. First, I do all my DL’s in either my bear feet or socks, no shoes allowed. This is an old school trick, but it has taken some stress off my knees and lower back. Also, without the heel of the shoe I am in a more upright position rather than being forced forward just a little. I also try to push the floor away from me with thru my heels. Secondly, I always reset after each rep, and in order to make sure that I do so, I flex my triceps when in the down position. This causes me to straighten my arms and usually forces me to drop my hips a little, which in turn helps me drive out of the hole with my hips rather than my lower back. Try it and let me know how it helps. TR |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
I'm really impressed with all of you guy's lifting.
I guess I have a long way to go. My best lifts are fractions of yours. I did one rep on the DL @ 225 about two weeks ago and I believe I could probably do 250. Honestly, I am more concerned about mastering the form etc. Today's WOD AMRAP - 20 minutes 12 SDHP #65 12 Sit ups 12 Push ups Total - 9 rounds This was the toughest WOD yet. I laid down for 20 minutes when I got home. I guess it's time for a REST day. My last one was a month ago. Do all of you include rest? Usually instead of rest I do an easy day instead. |

RX’d: Four rounds, each for time of: 800 meter run Accomplished: 4 X 1000m row (My heel is still pretty sore) WU: ~500m easy row [B]1[/B] - 3:46.3 @ 1:53.1/500m [B]2[/B] - 3:44.4 @ 1:52.2 [B]3[/B] - 3:54.2 @ 1:57.1 [B]4[/B] - 3:55.5 @1:57.7 Rests were 5 to 7 minutes while doing so easy yard work. These are a horrendous kind of suck. I was in real pain at the end of the second interval. Ten seconds or so slower on the last two intervals. The best I could do. Find that I have to abandon the CFSB. My work schedule is just messing it up. I will go back to doing the daily WODs as much as possible. My heel was doing better, but this weekend, I had to hop off the riding lawn mower to push it out of a rut. When I did, I heard and felt something pop in my heel and now it's hurting again. [B]Tom[/B]...When I lift at home, I go bare foot, too. At the base gym, I wear my Chuck Taylors.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Terry, is the back getting better. I notice that you summed the total weight lifted for the session. Is that the purpose of a 5 5 5 5 5 type session? The total wt. or the highest completed set?
Did the Tabata something else WOD. This is four exercises X 8 sets each for 20 sec. My totals were 74 pull ups, 102 push ups, 91 situps (on a GHD), and 121 squats. 388 total. I have really had the most improvement on Tabata since starting crossfit. This is the longest Tabata I've done. The others were just squats. |

I was going to do Tababa Something Else tonight with the class but my fellow trainer Danny talked me out of it. His reasoning, if your not 100% it will just pro long the healing process. I had to agree. I am surprised how much better I feel today. The work Perfomed is actually a calculation based on your body measurements you plug into beyond the whiteboard, depending on your measurements and the distance weight is moved. Basically.... In physics, mechanical work is defined as the product of the force acting on an object and the distance it moved. For example, if you do a shoulder press, the work done is the weight of the barbell multiplied by the distance from the barbell’s resting position above your shoulders to its position above your head — roughly the length of your arms. So, if you did a 150-pound shoulder press, and your arms are about 2 feet long, you can find the work done in foot-pounds by just multiplying the weight by the length of your arms; in this case one rep of the shoulder press is 2 ft * 150 lb = 300 foot-pounds of work done. If you did that 50 times, you would have done 15,000 foot-pounds of work. See their blog for full description its WFS [url]http://blog.beyondthewhiteboard.com/?s=work+performed[/url] |

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
[B]John[/B]...that's some incredible rowing. That puts you in the top 25% of our age group for rowers logging workouts on the Concept 2 web site. And most of those guys only do rowing.
[B]Tom[/B]..didn't notice the "bear" vs "bare"... or maybe you should see a podiatrist? [B]Work and Power[/B] More on what Terry said about work. I think looking at work done on an exercise is useful, at least in part, in determing its utility. Example, I see a lot of younger fellas doing barbell shrugs. (Grog want big muscly shoulder things...ugh...impress girls...find mate...ugh). If the wt used is 225 lbs (sounds impressive enough) and they move the bar about three inches per rep they are doing approximately 56 ft-lbs (3/12 x 225) of work. Now if you do a 115 lb shoulder press (a pretty manageable wt for many of us) and you move the bar 2 ft, you do 230 ft-lbs of work per rep. Makes those shoulder shrugs look pretty wimpy. The comparison is even more interesting if you calculate the power generated. Both moves take about the same amount of time to complete so when you press 115 lbs vs shrug 225 lbs you generate 4 times the power! Now think in terms of doing "Fran" with those 95 lb thrusters and pull-ups. Huge numbers, fricken ginormous! Now for fun, consider the amount of work [U]not[/U] done if some body builder wanna be does dumbell bicep curls. BTW, the shrugs you typically see done in the average gym are nothing like the shrugs described in [I]Starting Strength[/I], 2nd edition. Rip's version is considerably harder and should only be undertaken by more advanced lifters. In addition to going back to doing the main site WODs I think I will also lag behind by a day. It will help with my daily and weekly planning. [B]Power Peppers![/B] :pepper::pepper::pepper::pepper::pepper: |

Exactly...some big guys can also use this as an excuse :stir: For instance me an Nick who is 29 did almost the same time on the front squat ghd wod, he did 30% more work because he is 6'4" and I am 5'11". He had to move the weight a lot farther, but that make sense, thats probably why so many of the elite crossfitters are small...by nature they don't have to work as hard :) |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Pat-
Great Tabata Something Else! Almost doubles my numbers. Stephen- Hope you are feeling good about that strong Push Press. I would like to get to 150, but I have a lot of work to do to make that happen. Today I Ran 800 meters in 4:03 Was planning to run 3 more 800’s, but 200 yards into the second 800, when I felt like I was really rolling, suddenly I pulled a hamstring. It's peculiar. I have attempted to run the four 800's on five occasions in the past year and a half. Three of the five times I have pulled up lame. The other two times my calf tightened and I could not continue. I did Shoulder Press 10x60lbs. 10x60lbs. 10x60lbs. 20x60lbs. 10x60lbs. 10x60lbs. |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Holy crap - I nearly just got hit by a car! Some bozo came blowing around the bend at the top of my hill while I was running backwards and nearly nailed me. He jammed on the brakes and I jumped into the rock garden. I'll post my back squats later when I get calmed down.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Glad you avoided the car, Diane!
I take restdays on Friday, always. Sometimes I get a second rest day by playing golf on the weekend. Tuesday 8/11/2009 ***Run Lunge Push*** Five rounds for time of: Run 400 meters 100 ft Walking lunge 35 push-ups I did two rounds of 35 pushups and three rounds of only 20. From my knees. This was the worst case of "I don't wannas" I've had since I started CrossFit just over a month ago. I was pretty blurry-eyed this morning though. Drunk people yelling outside my window last night. Anyway, I did it in 22:15 and I was good and shakey after. Rubber legs, rubber arms. |

[B]Pat[/B]…I did “Tabata Something Else” today. Not even close to your numbers. Sure you’re not 16 instead of over 60? [B]Terry[/B]…Happy to hear your back is better. I go back and forth on back tweaks with DL’s. Sometimes they cause me a little “discomfort” and sometimes they make me feel great. Why? Dunno. On the shorter CFers. I wonder if who is generating the most power if you actually measure the displacement. Or does it all even out? If it doesn’t, then who is actually the fittest man/woman on earth ala CF Games? [B]Diane[/B]…I may get into trouble for saying this, but the driver of that car was probably distracted by some hot chick along side the road and almost hit her. [B]Skip[/B]…Aren’t you’re the crunch machine world record holder? I still consider Washington my home. Went to Kennewick High School and graduated from WSU. Miss it very much. My wife and I are going to take a short pilgrimage there at the beginning of next month. [B]Diane M[/B]…I just took a closer look at your workout. That’s a lot of work. Makes my legs cramp just thinking about it. So in staying with my new plan to be one day behind (more or less) the main WOD, I did “Tabata Something Else” today. I have to say, my tolerance for pain and discomfort has really gone up. Better mental toughness, better conditioning? [B]Pull-ups[/B] 10, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4 = 39 all unassisted (1st time for this WOD) [B]Push-ups[/B] 13, 8, 7, 4, 3, 4, 4, 4 = 47 something fundamentally wrong in torturing one’s arms with pull-ups then push-ups back-to-back. [B]Sit-ups[/B] 12, 10, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8 = 65 [B]Squats[/B] - 15, 13, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 13 = 101 Total volume = 252 [B]Mt Baker CF Broccoli[/B] :broc::broc::broc::broc::broc: |

[B]Charles[/B]- Thanks for the props on the row. I've got it logged in and ranked on the C2 site. I probably could've done a little better as I sandbagged a little because of the heat and I was worried about gassing on the upcoming 4 x 1000.
8/11/09 W/U Row 2500m- 10:17.4 WOD "Tabata Something Else" (I guess everyone knows the drill) 42 pull ups 61 push ups 96 sit ups 105 Squats 304 Total - First time breaking 300. I want to thank all on the board, especially Pat and Mark for posting their TSE scores. (Just saw Charles' score posted minutes ago). I was actually thinking (hallucinating?) about this board when I needed to squeeze out those extra reps to get that magic "300". Can that possibly be normal ? Finished with 15 min KB drills after a long rest ! |
