Same with 2nd set. Third round was broken into twos. Pull-ups were all over the place with hands sore as HELL from Angie yesterday. [...] [...] I had to break the first set of thrusters up 3 times.

Some days I win, and some days I don't. Would I like to compete with the elite 20 year olds? Absolutely. However, I am realistic. At 50 by next years games, I know I do not have the recovery power, flexibility or just brute strength to actually compete with the youngsters. I am competitive to the bitter end. Having a masters division allows me to still train hard, do battle daily with the kids, and still compete against my peers. I am all for it. I compete daily with all age groups, and do so well.

Life has no age groups and no weight classes. While acknowledging the fact that performance will (eventually) decline with age, I'm not interested in being the best in my age category; I'd rather know where I stand in comparison to all humanity. Sub-dividing competitors into various categories to create more "winners" doesn't make accomplishments of any more value. As a 42 year old Crossfitter, I say to hell with age groups.

All workouts done can be easily scaled to meet the requirements of each and every “athlete”. When learning the techniques and movements, it is paramount to scale the workout. This can be done by dropping the weight, number of repetitions, or the time. You can get a GREAT workout with lighter weight as long as you are using proper form and hitting it with HIGH INTENSITY every time. Check out this great video on SCALING.  [...] [...] CrossFit is a great program for people of all ages and abilities.

Will create a very useful piece of kit. MAXFACTOR, would love to see how your KB goes, that's insane kettlebell at bodyweight. Seriously need to find time to make one myself. However, BW for me would be 305lb Regards Rob Great idea using the piping. Will create a very useful piece of kit.

]]> Comment on Was CrossFit 2003 Easier? by Jason http://crossfitmetro.com/wod/was-crossfit-2003-easier/comment-page-1/#comment-171 Jason Sun, 21 Dec 2008 00:57:24 +0000 http://crossfitmetro.com/?p=123#comment-171 That is a super question. I was thinking this yesterday. If one started CF a year ago would the WOD's get harder to him or her. I figured that you could do the same WOD every year. The issue would intensity and drive. I know that I am 2 wks into CF so I am not really sure what I am doing. So I am not going as hard or as intense as I could. The next time I see that Filthy 50 on the board I am going to have something for 'em. I am sure HQ changes the WOD as people around them improve and become more comfortable doing them.
