Heavy Bag 3/3:00 Rounds with 1:00 rest

15:00 Shoulder Prehab Work

Just a little something different on a semi-rest day.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

@Bill, working the heavy bag and the speed bag is the epitome of "constantly varied". Working the speed bag is a big part of my Olympic lifting practice b/c it's so good for co-ordination and hand speed and eye/hand co-ordination.

Walked one lap around the muddy farm.

Swam 24 minutes continuously. It is odd to be in the pool with no triathlon circled on the calendar. It's interesting how much math and physics my brain does while swimming.

Row 2000m easy pace

Cable Pull Downs 180 lbs 5x10
Press 95 lbs 3x10
Hammer Curls 35s 3x10

JT, I'd love to have a speed bag, but think me pounding on that thing in the basement might be the end of my 35 years of wedded bliss.

The Shed 'o Pain lived up to its name this morning...
It was brisk when we started and sultry when we finished.
There seems to be some kind of local weather phenomenon that occurs inside the Shed when people start lifting and moving and met-conning (is that a word?)

Strength and Skill
OHS
5xpvc
5x11#
5x45#
5x65#
5x75#
5x95# (PR!)

Metcon
50 KBS, 20#
5 rounds of:
3 T2B (these were easy today and are no longer a "goat")
5 burpees (these were incredibly hard, moving 255# in a burpee is hard)
7 thrusters (75#, I used 75# b/c I haven't done a thruster during the Obama administration and remember them being hard, they weren't hard, maybe Oly lifting makes thrusters easier)
50 KBS, 20#
20:15

Row 5000m 26:15

Feeling a little sore and tired today. Rowed an easy 21 spm pace. I have a goal of running an 8 mile Spartan Race in July if my knees will allow it. The plan is to do as much low impact cardio over the winter as possible. I know it's not running, but there just aren't that many miles left on these arthritic old things. I'm working on the boredom thing too. I might need something more entertaining than Seinfeld reruns while I row.

Two hours of supervised snatch drills with Coach Dan Bell at RCW.
Since we have 51 weeks until the next meaningful meet, we are breaking it down to the basics and starting over to try to do it right.

About an hour of yesterday's practice involved moving an empty bar from about 2 inches up and down into the power position. Another half hour involved moving the empty bar from the top of the knee caps to the power position. My glutes and hammies are screaming today. Who knew that the lower body was used in Oly Lifting....
