Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
@Alden,
The thing is, I'm in favor of global warming b/c I live in Cleveland! Monday November 17, 2014 Snatch Practice at RCW with Coach Dan Bell 1.5 hours of drills, focused on punching out the arms when the weight flies overhead and, getting the bar from the top of the knee caps to the power position and then using the legs/butt to make the bar fly overhead, so then you can punch it. Practice weight of 45kg now feels like practice weight of 40kg used to. That's a good thing. I feel like I'm a better lifter after today's practice session than when I started, and I feel like I have two of the drills dialed in to where hundreds of reps on each per week will make me an even better lifter. Only 49.8 weeks until the window opens for qualifying for 2016 Worlds.... |

Rest Day Walked 1.3 miles on treadmill increasing the incline every .1 Held a goblet squat for a while Did 50 knee rebends with an empty bar. Today's walk is the best my back has felt since I injured it on July 8, 2014. Neither leg tingled or fell asleep during the walk. This is very encouraging. |

Hey guys, good to see everyone is still around. I have not been posting lately. Still doing my Wendler cycles and swimming intervals on at least 2 days per week.
Today was bench day. 5X185,3X210, 1X235 (5R). 5X10 Bent rows w. 185 5X10 Dips. 2X10X135 w. chains, Bench. New owner for Tribal. since I work out off hours, he gave me a key. Cool! |
Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
@Claw, nice fitness model photos on FB!
Wednesday November 19, 2014 Rowed 1k some mobility work Snatch Practice (the new way, not splitting) 10x45# power position drills 10x45# knee rebending drills 10x75# muscle snatch with a 1/4 OHS 10x105# ms with 1/4 OHS 5x135# ms with 1/4 OHS 1x140 1x145 1x150 1x155 (missed, got it to where it needed to be but didn't get under it) I've been "forced" into the muscle snatch b/c Dan Bell has corrected my bar path and power position so much that the bar is travelling too fast and too close to my body to split snatch at the lighter weights. At the heavier weights the bar is moving slow enough I might have to split at that weight. Will stick with the experiment for another couple months b/c there's still 49 weeks and 4 days until the first qualifier for the 2016 worlds. Presses and Push Presses 10x45 10x75 10x105 5x135 5x155 3x165 3x175 5x155 Did some coaching on the snatch for one of the trainers. |

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
Monday November 24, 2014
Snatch Practice I stank. Maybe the 500# deadlift, the swimming, and the walking took more out of me than I realized. Back Squat Technique Instruction Worked on perfecting back squat technique, with an empty bar. Doing one perfectly with the empty bar was about as hard as doing one "my way" at 300#... We are certainly in the "two steps back" phase right now. But that's okay, because there's still 48+ weeks until the first qualifier for the 2016 World Championships. |
