Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting 2014 Fitness/Workout Thread

lol I wouldn't know. I don't "murph", "Isabel", "caroline", "bubba", or whatever else crossfitters name their "workouts". I don't WOD, I don't kip, and I'm not apart of a cult.

If I ever look like Greg Glassman (pot bellied), I'll start doing crossfit. Until then I stick with relying on my own phys exercise knowledge and designing my own workouts.

That's what this thread is all about, what does your workout look like.

I did 10,000 snow shovel curls today. Considering I'm having shoulder surgery next Thursday, it wasn't altogether pleasant.




I also had two bowls of chili afterwards. It had lots of beans. Beans are good for you.

Dang snubbie, that's a funny looking snow shovel, you all must not get to use those much.

Good luck with the surgery and recovery.

Hope all goes well with the shoulder patch.

Arms and 35minutes on the Concept2.

Thanks for the well wishes. Hoping for a quick recovery and back to full use asap.
In the meantime, I continue to jog, squat, lunge, and the last couple of days, hike uphill over and over through snow after riding down in a sled with my little girl.

smokepole, that's a funny looking snow shovel? Heck, what do we know about snow shovels down here? Like you said, I only use it once or twice a year for snow. It's a darn fine tool for shoveling and spreading mulch in the summer though!

BTW smokepole, I had to run to town the other day when they called off school early, and run a few errands while I was out. As I headed out I grabbed a camo jacket and threw it on.

I went to town in camo and I thought about you.

Goober. Next thing you know, you'll be watching.Duck Dynasty.

Goober? Ha! You would have been proud of me!

Point, please describe a "fat bar hold".

That box-over burpees is a killer workout and REALLY applicable to carrying a heavy pack in steep terrain.

Everyone should find this very enlightening.

Amazing and scary.

They make barbells that are fatter through the handle, but we just wrapped ours with small towels to make them fat. Loaded 'em to 135# and held them the same as if finishing a deadlift.

Got it, thanks. Mark Twight does a similar workout he calls "Tailpipe" where one guy is hold a pair of kettlebells in the rack position while his buddy rows 500m.

Chest, back and arms circuit. Wall throw sit-ups. 2.5foot box jump circuit.

11miles of interval on the spinner.

Scary is right!

Yeah it's scary, 'cause they sliced up those legs just like hams!

1 hour 50 minute wood hike with 6-8 inches of snow.

Poor Toby's balls were iced up. Not the first time. Not sure how he does it or why he is so excited to go. He is a hell of a lot tougher than I.

I never realized MRI's were so dangerous.

That "slice" on the 70yo tri-dude still looks pretty scrawny, I wonder what he can squat?

got a break from my situp/pushup workout the last 2 days and went to the Y. I really like one of the machines where you bend over and then push back with your back. Really helps your lower back. of course, i overdid it and am paying big time today though.

Good workouts and not bad eating. the last few days have been good. And I will say, my daughter asked me if I wanted a chocolate candy and I thought of this thread and said no! So if I wouldnt have found this stupid thread, I would have enjoyed a great piece of candy!!!

Did lower body/core yesterday morning, and a 3-mile walk in the afternoon. Gorgeous weather here.
