Lower body/core today.

Got in 3 miles with the pack, and some nice hills. Six days until the hike in, seven until opening day, I'm gonna start tapering off now.

Did upper body yesterday. PT today, maybe some cardio, and then that's it for my pre-season training. Because it won't be pre-season any more.

Oh preseason is way behind us now Smokey. Good luck up there, you are way past ready.

Mark and his brother are coming out, should be fun. Hope it doesn't rain like last year.

Tell Mark hi. Sounds like a good camp.

For time:
Run 1 mile
Jump rope - 300 reps
100 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls - 45#
10 Box over Burpees

20:58

Circuit:

Bench step up with increasing weight, Kettle bell presses, bench press, crunches, pull-ups, barbell squats. repeat x 4

Rower: 30minutes

Cardio. Done.

Don't forget your bullets�.or ramrod�. or powder�or shotgun primers�.or sabots�. or�.or�.or�.

Already packed, my friend. Just have to remember a few groceries at this point.

�.or TP..or wipes�

Already packed. Just can't forget the single malt.

Or the Ibuprofen, I have a pallet being delivered tomorrow.......

That combination may give you memories of the trip for a long time. May I suggest you also may want to look into a good gastroenterologist.

Best pick up some extra TP and wipes when you do the last minute grocery shopping.

I do "therapeutic doses" of both. In other words, I only carry enough single malt on my back for a nip or two before bed. Anything more and.......I'm just too old for that sh** any more.

I know what you mean. Therapeutic dosing is definitely age dependent.

In teams of 2, M/M or F/F, complete the following for time:

Deadlift 21 reps, 225#/155#
21 Handstand Push-ups
Power Clean 15 reps, 185#/125#
15 Handstand Push-ups
Snatch 9 reps, 135#/95#
9 Handstand Push-ups

During the WOD, a partner must always be holding a handstand in order for the partner to do the barbell lifts. Also, a partner must hold a barbell in order for the partner to complete the handstand push-ups. The barbell must be held in a dead hang post deadlifts, in a front rack post power cleans, and in an overhead position post snatches.

12:35. I did all of the barbell work as I'm too fat to spend that much time inverted.

Damn pointer, from the sounds of it, you should get paid for that.

Elliptical: 20minutes

Circuit: KB squats x16, Deadlift x10, standing KB press x 10 each hand, dips 10-12, push-ups x23, farmers walk, 40 yards. Repeat x 5.

It's not so bad. Sorta addictive though. As my posting can attest, I've been pretty regular in the gym since the beginning of the year. However, I'm still a fatty. I'm just a faster, stronger, can go a bit longer fatty! If I could only buy some food willpower...

I have 3 western hunts this fall. I'm interested to see how I do in the hills as this is quite a departure from what I've done in the past for similar type hunts.
