Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Wednesday night has a dispute with an avacodo pit that didn't want to be removed. The pit won and I cut my hand at the base of the first finger. I thought that it would be healed enough to work out but it opened today when I was doing some pull ups in warm up. This eliminated Fran and the DL WOD from the main site.

did some bench presses and over head presses. P/T for the shoulder impingment is coming along well. Hadn't done any weighted presses since starting therapy.

Bench press: 10 X 95, 10 X 135, 10 X 185, 5 X 225.
Over Head Press: 10 X 95, 3 X 135, 1 X 185 (f), 3 X 155, 3 X 165.

Tomorrow maybe I'll do some back squat work.

Dead Lift

10x45, 10x95, 10x115, 5x135, 3x155, 1x185, 1x205, 225 fail

I was disappointed that I didn't beat my PR. I was also little dizzy after the heavier lifts.

Does any one get a little dizzy?

Squats too. Sometimes stars. Anytime the blood flow from your head goes to your legs and the pressure in your head goes down, your eyes are the first to get effected. Charlie can comment on this too but back in the day flying, if you didn't "jump on your g's", you could get tunnel vision. The minute you gave it a little grunt (to put pressure back in your head) your vision would restore (if you weren't too far gone by that time).

Took the last couple of days off. Part schedule, part just plain rest.

Jay - I don't get dizzy but I do see stars.

Rest day today, thank goodness. Still have DOMS from the back squats.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Today I discovered that the knurl on a barbell is a handy way to remove skin tags (wow, a positive of the sloppy clean - realized post-WOD, that annoying little thing on my neck is gone!)
