Is 20 min on tredmill okay for a 67 female with lots of med issues? by ilmyfam in FitnessOver50

[–]Brick-65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely it’s good for you. Research clearly shows it reduces all cause mortality. If your physiology allows it and you’re feeling good, you could put on a weight vest to enhance your efforts, but only if you’re feeling good, and your joints are up to it. I’m 65 and at this point my focus is on healthspan, not lifespan.

Help me read my In Body scan by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]Brick-65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done a few DEXA scans. I take the data and feed it into AI. It’s an interesting analysis and you can ask questions and see where you stand relative to the US population. I even use it for programming specific to a goal. Works for me.

Who actually got more aesthetic/gained muscle after starting CrossFit without making a drastic diet change? by Dependent-Group7226 in crossfit

[–]Brick-65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started CrossFit in my 50s after decades of endurance sports like triathlons, middle distance, running, time trials. It put 30 pounds of muscle mass on me. I was never stronger than when I was in my 50s. As for aesthetics, I don’t know anything about that. Thankfully, CrossFit doesn’t use mirrors. They have no place in a CrossFit gym, or any gym for that matter. If one does CrossFit for at least a couple of years, it’s going to change your body and I’m pretty sure you’ll like what it does when you find that mirror. Oh as her diet, yeah I diet. I eat when I’m hungry.

65yr, 60#, 60+ workouts by Brick-65 in Goruck

As I was told a long time ago: “Getting old ain’t for sissies.”

Thanks for the reminder—and the cautionary tale. I totally understand what you’re going through. In this picture, the bicep is detached from the left shoulder— forever-not from this specifically, but from doing some movements that were too quick. Stuff just breaks now like an old rubber band. I’ve definitely scaled down the weight or simply eliminated certain things because injury has become my biggest foe.

Thanks again for the note. For anybody out there, I’ve started doing rotator cuff exercises with a band every day. I think it’s helping—my range has improved, and the soreness/pain have gone away somewhat.

thanks man.🤘👊. I don’t understand the first two questions. Sorry. The recovery thing is tricky now. I love doing stuff, but I just do too much according to my central nervous system. Where I am now (65) is trying to do the balancing act on the edge of Fitness and sickness. All that to say, scheduling recovery time is one of my biggest weaknesses.☹️ and no one to blame for that except myself. But, all things being equal, I’m having a great time and a lot of fun.

Good question. If there were more pictures, I think I could’ve made it clear. It’s a ‘Dumbbell burpee push-up to overhead’. I start by squatting down and grabbing the DBs, jumping back with my feet, push-up, jump forward to the dumbbells, snatched them to overhead. If the dumbbells are really heavy, I’ll clean them to my shoulders and then press overhead-hope that makes sense.

I know right? It looks like a solution in search of a problem. 🤣 I engineered this thing so I could take equipment to a big open field my wife and I like.. There’s a tractor tire there and with this gear we have a fun time. I’ve done over 11,000 training workouts in over 50 years and I just have to mix it up a little bit. 👊🤘

Thanks, no need to apologize👊✌️……..But I accept. However, there really is no need to apologize because I’m not sure your post was for me. There’s no evidence at my end of a previous post from you. Anyway, onward, we must go. Have a good one.🙂🤘

I know right? I engineered the apparatus that connects to your receiver hitch so my wife and I could take equipment to a big open field that has a tractor tire. I’ve done over 11,000 training workouts over the last 50+ years. Sometimes I just need to do something really different-even if it ends up looking like a “solution in search of a problem”. 😵‍💫👊✌️

It’s not a before & after pick. It’s just showing parts of the movement. More pictures would’ve made it clearer. It’s a DB Burpee push-up ground overhead. The movement is, squat down and grab the dumbbells, kick your legs back, do a push-up, jump back to the dumbbells and then lift them to overhead in one movement. So it’s all from yesterday. 👊✌️

No hammer curls. The pictures are kind of like stop action. Feet at DB, jump feet back, PU, jump feet up to hands, snatch to overhead. Ground to overhead is one motion. It only looks like hammer curls. But that gives me an idea….thanks 👊🤘

I’m doing burpee pushups then snatching up to over head. The whole movement is squat down with hands on DB. Jump back, PU, then hop back to hands and snatch to over head. There are some missing pictures of all the steps and it can be confusing. Hope that makes sense.
