And you are what age?

10.5 miles on the bike. Cross Country practice starts tomorrow so the running mileage will increase as the bike milege decreases!

39. Yeah I know, it's slowed a smidge.

35 min cardio today

Your not even close to slow.

At 39 I could eat just about anything and not gain weight. If you are normal slow is still waiting for you. Thing is you can beat it, but it may require a little dedication.

Then again, you may never have a problem, but most do.

Last night 3mi with 38lb ruck, picking the hilliest spot I have nearby and looping up and down that. Average pace was high 16-minute mile. Not EIB standard, but not bad given the hills and my knees....

Tonight 2-mile interval run with 6-8 mins walking before and after followed by copious stretching.


I can read a cook book and gain weight, btw. I can watch the food network and gain weight. If I look at one of the recipes my wife finds on Pinterest, I'll gain weight. Don't even have to eat it, just look at it! I'm 40 this spring and it is already harder than it used to be to slim down and tone up.

Heads up!!!!

One of the workout crew killed himself a nice Ram.

He is currently Terra Incognito. Pics to follow.

Cool! I was wondering when his trip was. Can't wait for pix and story.

Yesterday:
Squats: 5x5 250lbs
OHP: 5x5 105lbs
Deadlift: 1x3 265lbs - Fail - had the body strength not the grip.
Chin ups - 1x10 1x8 1x7 - unassisted - Fail
Barbell curls - 2x8 75lbs

I've seen the pics, but don't want to steal his moment. I will tell you it is a damn nice Dall and will be worth the wait to see them and hear the story.

Early congrats From here. 👍

One large pizza, side order of three beers. Elapsed time 60 minutes.

That's an impressive jump!

Thanks! It is nice to get some confirmation that what you are doing is working...somewhat.

I'm guessing your grip was gone after Circuit 1?

Yep. I wear straps for the hang versions done in circuits. Folks hate on straps, but I'm training explosiveness and endurance in the circuit and don't want grip to limit it.

When done from the floor and not in a circuit I use a regular hook grip. Scott mentioned above about loosing his grip on the deadlifts...hook grip can help there but is a pain (literally) for a while.
