Kurt, let me know if you want some help hiking up there

Yesterday was quick:
Shoulder Press...1 min between sets
Chain Pushups...circuit
Ring Pullups...circuit

Today was goat wrestling. It was ugly. This SOB kicked my azz...it was bad.

That goat should be easy to get under hooks on...

3 miles with 40lb pack this morning in the hills behind the house. Not what I'll encounter in MT but enough to get heart rate moving. On a positive note, no blisters or even hot spots.

LOL...he shoulda been. Low center of gravity and all time 4 wheel drive is hard to stop when it wants out of a truck bed.

MMA today. Ground and standup. Lost count of the number of rounds.

Did lower body last evening. Glutes were still sore from the corrective exercises

Stretches and Overhead Squats

5-3-1 (warmup)
135#-155#-165#

Five attempts to work to a 1 rep max. Completetd 185# (PR). Close on 205#, just couldn't keep it stable. Too much onto my toes.

Did upper body today, felt really good. Except the part where all the women in the gym were ogling, I just hate being objectified like that.

Cleans...1 min rest between sets
Squats...1 min rest between sets
Hang Snatches...circuit 1 - no rest between rounds
Abs...circuit 1

Always in a rush the past couple of weeks...had to leave some stuff out today and go with no rest on the circuit.

Muscle Up Biathlon

For time:
400m run
18 muscle-ups
400m run
15 muscle-ups
400m run
12 muscle-ups

Each time the athlete breaks a set of muscle-ups they must run a 200m lap.

25:01. I did banded muscle ups and LOTS of running as I don't think I got more than 6 in a row at any tim.

Get used to it. There is a price to pay for being rippled....

Anyway still at it and looking.

Something to consider:

Hurt my self running over a year ago and with PT, lots of stretching, massage and a little yoga finally got over the most of it. However, it wouldn't go completely away and I'm thinking perhaps never will.

The back was acting up more than usual and the quads and hamstrings were always tight no matter what I did. Mornings getting out of bed were kinda funny until I got moving around and stretched some. A light finally came on and I wondered what roll a 15 year old mattress was having on the situation. Sooooo, went out and purchased a new one. After three nights the difference in how I feel made it worth double what I paid.

Just a FWIW.

Rippled?? Come on, man.........

Just jaggin ya a little�..

You young guys need to stop jaggin each other and get serious....

Bench...1 min between sets
Weighted dips...circuit 1, 1 min between rounds
Pullups...circuit 1
Incline DB...circuit 2, 1 min between rounds
DB rows...circuit 2
Neck...circuit 2

Did cardio today, then 20 or 30 minutes of stretching and rolling back and legs.

Battue is just jealous because he never gets ogled.

Serious? Will after working out for longer than I want to admit, I'll let you in on a secret that took way too long to figure out. Take this stuff serious and it becomes a job. Observe most people in the gym and from the look on their face you would think it was the last place they wanted to be. Trick the mind into it being a game and it becomes more like fun. Seriously!!!!

Anyway, did a legs/triceps evolution along with some stepper time.

Just received a GNC magazine on why fat and not carbs may be the preferred fuel for stamina and endurance. You can probably pick one up at a GNC store if you have one close. E will probably short circuit if he gets his hands on it.

Addition: They didn't promote a single item they sell in the entire article.

Ogling is no big deal, it's the grabbing that gets me�.

This is a family website, let's keep the discussion limited to what happens on the gym floor, not in the locker room.

Like to see you fight off three or four of those gals when they are determined to get me in the shower. All that soap and suds. You probably know what I mean�. then again probably not�..

Back to our regularly scheduled discussion:
1 hour on the bike trainer this morning
45 min strength training this afternoon
1/2 hour bow shooting this evening

Overall it was a good day.
