Warmup: Elliptical 23min

Incline BP, Deadlift, Squats, Glute machine-oh my, Curls.

Kettlebell sets.

Treadmill: 35min

1.5 mile run
100 push ups

Did UB today.

I am getting back into weights after 6 years. People may not know that during Obama Administration we as teachers in a public school had a 60 minute meeting on some mandate every freaking night afterschool. Strange thing, after Trump gets elected there is a huge reduction in mandates-now we meet once on Mondays and every other Wednesday I have cut my part time job from 30 hours a week to about 8 and I am lifting again.

Tonight is the third night back.
120 sissy squats with 43lb kettlebell.

Cleans(should be center of most programs)
2 sets of warms ups 10 Reps with 125lbs
5 sets of 5 Reps with 175lbs
2 sets with 3 Reps with 195lbs.

Squats
2 sets of warm ups with 30 reps of 90lbs(carry 45lb plates)
3 Sets of 12 Reps with 225lbs

Dumbbell Rows (on bench)(These are super important for me getting my strength back)
3 sets of 10 reps with 85lbs
2 sets of 10 reps with 90lbs
1 set of 5 reps with 110lbs

4 sets of 10 reps alternate dumbbell curls(60lbs per dumbbell)

6 sets of lat pull downs 12 reps 210lbs(real weight unknown)
Wide grip bar.

4 sets of rope tricep pulldown (120lbs(real weight unknown).

30 minutes on c2 rower 6OOOM total distance travelled.


I figure that this is about average for Alaskan hunters so I want to get my clean back up(250lbs+ for reps) and build on functional strength. I am 48years old, 5"11" and about 250lbs. I would like to get down to 220lbs by June and see if I can get my strength back.
I figure that when I can do 5 sets of 30 pullups that I will be set. Right now I can do 3 sets of 8 Pullups so we will see what happens.

Whose?

What?

Whose...as in whose upper body? I mean with all those supposed chicks, I thought at least one....Guess not.

Where?

ditto today; I think I'll be donating my $ to the Forest Service for my cabin rental tomorrow- it's a nice 7-ish mile ski in- will take a small miracle that I'm up for it

Warm-up: Elliptical 25min

I've said that my rural lifestyle can be a workout in its own right. Out of curiousity I started Strava this morning before starting my day. Strava is the program I use to track my cycling.

Today was all about burning stuff. In the process of that I walked 5.8 miles.... 50% of that was either carrying or dragging heavy loads. Also lots of machete work and some chain saw stuff.

I'm stumbling-tired.
