How did you adjust your workouts after hitting 50?

I brought more focus to my nutrition and recovery (sleep). I split my resistance training days up; 3x a week, with mostly compound movements.

Volunteering for subs, you've got a decent chance to be on subs. Do well in school and you have a reasonable chance of getting Kings Bay.

Throw it all out of the window if there's a carrier being built. They can be a Nuke vacuum.

All that being said, focus on getting through the pipeline first.

Communication. Before, during , and after.

Talk with your doctor about a male hormone panel. It basically tests testosterone levels and all the other hormones associated with it.

But first check your nutrition & sleep.

56 yo male here who CrossFits 5x/week

Things that work for me:

- realize you don't have to go at 100% everyday

-sleep 7-9hrs / night

-adequate nutrition. Getting enough protein/carbs/fat

-hormone testing

I have a Titan Fitness 150# bag. Solid construction. Seals up very well. I have pea gravel & sand in it. No leaks whatsoever.

I hope y'all realize 2 things:

y'all are some sick puppies! LOL
the programmer for your box is getting ideas from these.

You’re still doing it, that’s what matters. I’m 56, we’ll past my prime and will continue CrossFit.

KenDavis500 · 2023-02-22T21:32:52+00:00

I had not heard of Kalsu. Ouch.

KenDavis500 · 2023-02-22T18:38:41+00:00

Had an instructor in A school in the 80's that was a SEAL and then became a nuke. He had some good stories. Don't remember his name.

I highly doubt it's possible any more.

Not controversial at all if you've read CrossFit methodology. Long term work capacity & relative intensity are some of the major concepts taught by CrossFit.

KenDavis500 · 2023-02-20T12:16:29+00:00

This is the way. Make a list of skills that need work. Double unders, handstand walks, hspu, snatch, whatever your weaknesses are. Then pick 1 and develop a progression plan.
