Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting 2017 Fitness- Workout thread

Probably better than me. I screwed around most of the day.

Shooting and dinner got canceled with a scheduling screw up.

At least you think you did something. I know I didn't.

Alzheimer's, again??

Nope. The guy who said he made arrangements was one of those who thinks all he has to do is show up and they will accommodate. I was going up early and decided to call ahead. Turns out they had a corporate event going on with around 100 shooters and he hadn't told them we would be coming.

I called him and said it is a no go. I think he may still be hearing about it from his wife.

3 mile run this AM. Bench, squat, and curl after work.

I got in 12 miles today- temps weren't too bad (mid 20's), but w/ 15-20 mph winds made it a wee bit chilly. The trails were a little challenging as well- lots of foot print post holes that are now frozen solid- a good recipe for an ankle strain/sprain.

Went to the gym Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Got a couple miles in in the woods as well. Back to the gym today, and helped a buddy get a tree off his driveway.

Abs, shoulders, back, legs and chest on the 4 days at the gym. Shot the bow for an hour Friday while the weather was nice.

Squats sets of 8: 225, 275, 315, 315

Full body rural workout. The only quantifiable is 5+ walked.

Leg Day.

Started Light and did interval training that kicked my butt.

Squats
3 Sets of 225lbs (10,10,6last set)
2 Sets of 275lb (6 Reps)
2 Sets of 315lbs(4 Reps)

What killed me on these is that between sets I would do single hand kettle bell squats (53lbs) for 50 reps alternating each side. It was way harder to do the kettle bell squats than the real ones in the squat cage.

some arms(bi and tricep) 5 sets of alternate curls on incline 50lbs X20 reps
close tricep grip bench with 175lbs X 5 setsX 10 reps.

30 minutes on bike
10 minutes on C2

Easy on cardio but gawd those kettle bell squats hurt.

Mtwarden- You are doing it right.

To all, never, never get out of shape.

Cardio today. I cut it a little short so I'd have some gas left in the tank to take the dog on his run. He gets cranky when I don't keep up.
