5 rounds for time:
20 squats
90 single unders (jump rope)

9:40. I switched to singles as I just didn't have the rythym for the doubles today...

I don't know, I thought you looked pretty good........

If I attempted that it would result in a trip to an orthopedist...

Yup, you'd have to lighten your loafers to avoid injury.........

Did lower body/core today.

Treadmill: 30minutes at 12.5% and 3.1mph

Made-up circuit: Deadlifts-French press-goblet squat-push-ups-chin-ups-dips.
6 sets.

Started the day out right with a cortisone shot to the shoulder, strategically timed for two weeks before the first hunt (elk/muzzleloader). Then did upper body: pull-ups, chest presses at two different angles, seated row machine (weights, not rower), internal/external shoulder rotations with the cable machine, 2 different dumbell flies for shoulders, cauldrons, Russians, curls.

My goal is to be like Battue when I grow up.

Some wise old philosopher once said, "Be careful what you wish for."

What are thee going forth with to tip over these Elk?

3 rounds for time:
21 Kettlebell swings - 35#
800m run with a 35# kettlebell

20 mins, but that was the time cap. I was 400m short of completing the workout.

Been following this thread with some interest. Started exercising and eating healthy at the start of June, have gone from 222 lbs to 193 lbs. Been doing weights and sprints or Insanity/T25 videos. Goal weight is 185 lbs.

This week I started a regimen of pushups and pull-ups/chin-ups with continued sprint work. Saw a special on Herschel Walker that inspired me. Will lift legs once a week for lower body. Going to do this for at least four weeks to see how I look and feel. Curious if any of you fellas have tried a pushup/pull-up program with no other weight work, and if so, what results you had?

Techsan- I have not, but many of the workouts I do incorporate them. Good luck on trying something new. Long odds are that you won't be worse off...

Techsan,

Check out Kelly Starrett on youtube for proper form instruction wrt pushups and pullups. Good form is important even when less wt./higher reps are involved.

Had another dry needle session this morning, it's really helping. Gonna try to do a hike with the dog and pack this evening.

Also got a cortisone shot in the shoulder yesterday, and ankle this morning. D-day is two weeks and counting

3.2mile fast rolling hill hike with Toby. Just over 41minutes. Was shooting for 40.

Circuit: Goblet squats, dead lift, easy bar curls, dips, bench press, push-ups.
5 sets.

Finally I was able to run over 2 miles this morning - 2.1 of my 2.5 miles. Average pace was 9m33s. Big improvement from 4-5 months ago when 2 miles was my max distance and pace was 11m and change.
Have a 90 bike ride planned tomorrow morning then heading to the camp in Potter to hike the hills with a pack and chill with family. 19 days and a wake up until Montana bound.

Well done. You have probably came further than any of us. Congrats.

Toby chill'n after his hike says, "You can dooooo it and don't come back until you have meat!!!!"
