OX and the MultiV vitamins are good.

The Yeti drink mixes are great to mix in with 1 scoop of NOS Yeti blue raspberry, black cherry or raspberry and then tablespoon of honey, several squirts of lemon juice, and 1 bag of red zinger hibiscus herbal tea. It doesn't suck and you can drink almost a whole 64 oz of liquid during a workout. It isn't too sweet but takes care of quenching thirst. I think hydration really is a key when you are working out hard to maximize thermogenic and aerobic results.

I like your tent Mtwarren. I have an BD Eldorado that I have taken to many a cold and miserable place.

Well being back at it for a week after being out with the crud, the last 2 workouts felt good. It'll be a couple weeks until I'm back to where I was pre-crud but felt good.

Kaboku68 - nice work. Been almost 30 yrs since I benched that kinda weight and I don't see it returning to that any time soon.

yeah the little Firstlight does pretty well :)- I was buffeted with high winds almost all night with no ill effects

mtwarden is gonna win the prize here. You are relentless, sir!

Guys I'm in mourning. My workout/adventure buddy was formally diagnosed with onset of rheumatoid arthritis a few days ago and started powerful drugs yesterday. He's not supposed to basically do anything hard. Ever. Also can't drink, and was my main drinkin' buddy too. We were pretty good about rattling each others' cage to get out and go. Ugh.

sorry to hear that Jeff; maybe it will improve over time

Upper body Sunday, hike yesterday, cardio today, stairs and bike 60 minutes 830 calories of effort.

Brewed a half batch of beer (around 3 gallons), a nice dark stout.

Walked about 2 miles and shot my bow on a 3D course.

If I can keep this up I should be ready for Wyoming elk in September.

That does not sound like a normal course of action for RA. I'd get a second opinion and experiment with herbal medicine.

Yesterday:

Elliptical: 20min

4x5: BP-Standing press-Barbell rows-DB rows.

Treadmill Intervals: 15min


Not sure I would rely too much on the herbals for RA and the ones that work do because they contain an active drug component. Combined with the fact there is no standardization of the active ingredient. There are natural aids, but they work for a reason other than the fact they grow in God's green earth. The RA foundation most certainly recommends moving and weight bearing exercise to improve muscle support of joints. Along with other non-drug therapies to compliment medicinal intervention.

I don't know, and I don't want to clog up our thread with this, but this was after multiple blood workups and under the care of a specialist (rheumatologist).

Pretty sure my buddy, a stoic sort, would say this is beyond the reach of herbal remedies... he was literally driven to tears just getting out of bed. Shoulders, wrists, elbows, hips... inoperable in the morning.

6.5 miles in the snow, slush, mud, ice and even the occasional dry section- in SHORTS- 55 degrees!
