@ JT 183! I am jealous. i need 160 (@ 85kg) or 167 (@ 94) to qualify for Pan - Ams. I was hitting 160 before my hip/groin went south. Now about 150 or so (but just coming back). My bodyweight is right about 90kg right now.

@Andrew, stick with it.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Last Night:
A. Clean/Jerk-kg: 40x3, 60x2, 70x2, 75, 80, 83(183lbs), 86 miss
B. 3 RFT (6:23)
Back Squat 5x90kg (198lbs)
50 single - unders

I never realized how hard jumping rope after squatting would be.

Long boring part...feel free to skip.
So I am tying up my first three week "cycle" after starting back. For the next one I am going to switch to a more a./b. strength/WOD type set-up like I see the different crossfit gyms posting. I'll have to keep the individual parts shorter for time constraints but I think I can work that with out much trouble. I also now have an idea of where I am strength wise and what hurts injury wise. Now I can set up some %'s and stop doing singles until I miss. The big variable will be what happens when I meet with the surgeon but I think I can get through this without getting cut open.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

@Andrew, yes doing singles until you miss is soul crushing and counter-productive...

@Bill, burpees? yay burpees!

14 days until Championships

Stretched, mobilized

Using meet timings:

snatches to 170#, missed twice at 175#
(one was really really close, one wasn't...)

C&J to 230#, missed the clean at 235 and 240
So, once again, this would have won the meet and met the World Qualifying Standard.

Two more squat workouts, four more lifting workouts, then 6 days of tapering, then game day.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Thanks, been learning a lot from following you guys. For program I have been going along with the templates from the L1, and L2 guides. For the strength stuff I am going to use Matt Vincent's TLDR (too long, didn't read) set up. It's just a simple mix of 5/3/1 and a easy Olympic cycle. Matt is a top Highland Games competitor. ( my main sport) He is really good friends with Wendler so he pretty much steals a lot from him.

Tonight GWM triplet,
10 minutes AMRAP
15 push - ups
10 Snatches @ 30kg
1 minute on bike
3 rounds + push ups and like 4 snatches. Was supposed to be 15 minutes but did it at my office and wound up getting called out at right around 10minutes. Oh well, it is what it is.

@Bill
I liked how he said they had doled out 60million penalty burpees...
