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

Lots of progress showing up on this thread. Good to see!

Been buried at work and busy in the gym for the last couple months. Making progress slowly but surely. Gotta by honest though, good weather and nice trails are sure going to be a welcome change from the treadmill.

Last week: 3 runs for 10 miles, 1 elliptical session, 1 strength session, and 1 swim session.
Diet: Clean but sparse... so busy I am forgetting to eat on time.

Will

AM-5K trot

PM- warmup on rower/glute ham situps/back extensions

Shoulder Press- 3 sets of 5 @ 125#. Had to push press last 2 each set

Back/Box Squats- used a 14in box. 3 sets of 5 @ 190, 200, 200#

Time crused in today, so it was quick and had to use my moderate bells/weights at home.

Kettle bells and weights;

One arm presses: 16x25lbs
Swings: 30 with 25lbs
Squats: Used a 30lbs dumbbell x 30
One arm rows: 40lbs with dumbbell x 16

Did 4 quick back to back sets of the above and finished it off with rubber band stretches for the hips.

Lower body and core today.

Warmup:
Med ball fun

Stength:
Kettle Bell Swings
10-10-10
53#-72#-100#

Workout:
5 Rounds for time
35# Kettle Bell Swings - 21 reps
Double Unders - 40 reps

15:04

Pretty happy with todays workout. The 100# swings were a trip! Keeping one's balance with 100# swinging overhead is pretty important... Need to get better I double unders. I can only do them by alternating with singles. So, for me 200 doubles requires about an addition 200-250 singles.

Did upper body today. Fifteen laps around the 400 M track. In the handstand position. With a 45-lb. plate strapped to each foot.

Time: 10:02. Got to improve on that.

Keep at it! It'll get better. Be sure to leave the gloves off closer to season to toughen up your hands.

Gloves?

Getting old is a beech. Get used to it....

Light kettlebell and stretching workout at home before work.

Then another during lunch at work.

Sets of:

Swings-goblet squats-arm curls-planks. As many as each you can do in 30seconds. Total of 4 sets, with a minute break between sets. Planks where one minute.

Finished it of with two sets of kettle bell two armed press and 4x25 pushups

60 is the new 30. So I'm not even 40 yet.

Trust me, someone is lying to you and don't ask me how I know. No need I guess, since you know how I know�..

I've seen 30 and passed 60 over 3000 days ago. What a hooooot!!!!

Forgot to add that the April issue of Men's Health magazine has a couple workouts that are worth looking at for those that may need a change of pace.

Did cardio today.

12 pullups
25 Kettlebell swings 36#
400m run

Three rounds 10:58 Kettlebell swings were TFE, heavier bell next time. Running hard always sux.

Concept2: Easy 35minute row while watching the Penguins.

Afraid to count chickens, but the glut was great today, when the glut is good the knee is good. I'm beginning to appreciate the necessity for having light days to allow for some repair time.

Back to the Pens.

I'll be doing multiple 12 oz curls tomorrow evening watching the Avs.

I'll post my times.

Get the little pony bottles, then you can also get some cardio trotting back and forth to the fridge.

I'm going to a bar, the only trotting will be to the john.

I'll post my times.

In public places you walk to the john. A little strutting is permitted if some good looking girls are present, but trotting sends the wrong message....



Especially if the good lookers are....we'll you get it.
