What is a baby boomer?

People born between (and including) 1946 and 1964. After American soldiers returned home from World War II in1946, the United States experienced an explosion of births (hence the name baby boom) that continued for the next 18 years, when the birth rate began to drop. In 1964, baby boomers represented 40% of the population, which means that more than one third of the population was under 19 years of age. In the 1990s, approximately 76 million people in the United States were born in the baby boom years, representing approximately 29% of the country's population. Since baby boomers make up such a sizable portion of the consuming public, their spending habits and lifestyles have a powerful influence on the economy.

013010 - Dirty Dozen

CrossFit at 9AM for the Free Saturday class.
Lots of activity when I got there. Ron was working on the rings, Joe and Will were working on the shoulder press and Justin was working on the snatch.
Couple of new people this morning but a small class compared to other recent Saturday classes. I think [...]

Old man and the squat

Here is a video made of my break through with back squats. The issue is not the amount of weight but the fact that I actually was able to get down into a squat position. I am all about creating excitement in the box.

012910 - Deadlifts, Pulls Ups and Burpees

CrossFit at 6AM. In the teens but no more snow overnight.
Prior to class worked on back squats and clean squats. The progress is very slow but doing long warm ups is the key.
Really had to push hard for this WOD. Rx’d weight for the dead lift was 225, I went 195. [...]

CrossFit at 6AM. Several inches of snow overnight and very cold.
Moving slow again this morning. Not a fan of the WOD. I would have done better if I had spent about an hour working on my hips and getting ready to squat.
Good news was that I woke up this morning so anything else [...]

0127010 - Rowing and Double Unders

CrossFit at 6AM. Turned very cold last night but no significant snow.
Because of the complexity of the result tracking I grabbed two shots of the whiteboard.
Here is the actual WOD.

And here are the tracked results.

Spent the 20 minutes before class working on getting up on the rings. After stretching, push ups and lots [...]

012610 - Snatch Max + Metcom

CrossFit at 6AM. Staying cold but no snow overnight.
Had trouble getting my focus this morning prior to class. Did work a bit on the big rings and was able to get myself up several times. Not able to do a ring dip yet. Not sure why I can get up on [...]

012510 - SDLHP and Wallball

CrossFit at 6AM. Light rain, warmer temp, snow has melted.
I kind of wasted my time prior to class this morning and did not work on my squat warm up. That made a real difference when it came time for overhead squats during the warm up. The Turkish get ups were a real [...]

012410 - Self Defense Class

Self defense class had mixed results this afternoon.
Worked on sparing again using the hand wraps for my left hand. Unfortunately I experienced the same issue. Pain centered on the thumb and inner wrist when punching or blocking a punch. This has now also moved into my right hand.
In each [...]

012310 - Free Saturday WOD

At the box at 8:20A. Charlie, Justin and Will already at work.
Worked on my overhead and back squats again. Still a big issue with overhead but I can really get my back and air squats going by doing a long warmup workout with the bar and weight.
There were 22 for class [...]
