Week 2 of Smolov Jr. Bench. 5/3/1 on squats. 200/200/500 on C2 30 min on ski strider machine.

Smoke - Good to see you back at it.

Took my oldest son to the gym yesterday. At 18 he's finally showing an interest in strength training. Did squats, presses, DL and he wanted me to look at his form on bench so we did a little of that too. I didn't let him do deads since he couldn't get into good form - scared cat back. We'll work on that. Lots of setup changes between sets as he's 6ft 140lbs and I'm 5ft6in and 185lbs. Good time though.

I'm waiting to see how sore he is today.

Ed- temps started at 43 degrees in the morning, when we got back to the trailhead- 13!

13 miles with a very good dose of vert

Good job, Dad. Remind him that pain is weakness leaving the body. That might resonate with a teenager.

Burpees, and pull-ups. 100 of each as fast as I could. Rested then did kettle bell swings, snatches and goblet squats in Tabata type cycles. Barbell squats then clean and press today. Most likely do some jump-rope and push ups after I'm done, we'll see how it goes.

Tiny Elvis was chomping to get out, despite the single digit temps. Put on his down jacket and some mushers wax on his feet and put 4 miles in on the fresh snow

Little Elvis is a stud pup for sure. My two fat welfare recipients sure couldn't keep up with him. To be honest though they wouldn't need a jacket. Hearty fur and fat keep them toasty.


Weight carry, stack and condition today. Take my 45 lbs and 35 lbs plates and carry them from my weight room up the stairs to the living room. Do a some bear crawls back and forth. Mix in some jump rope, kettle bell stuff, burpee's and so on. Then carry all the plates back down to the weight room. A really good all over body work out and gets the heart pumping good.

ounce for ounce, he is a tough little bugger- for some unknown reason he’s convinced he’s a Husky

Did floor exercises yesterday, upper body cardio today, arm bike and ski erg machine.

Wendler week 7: squats 5/3/1+, bench 5/3/1+, pull-ups 3x11,dips 3x30, core AND an hour of shoveling snow

3 rounds of bodyweight strength (pushups, pull ups, dips) some BB curls & 20min on treadmill

This may sound crazy, but since I can't shovel snow for the time being, I miss it. It always gets the heart rate up!

The trip up the ridge last night took a bit longer with all the new snow and drifting.
With all the snow we have there will probably be some left for Smoke to come shovel after your all healed up.

^ I’ll be headed up there this evening

I don’t mind shoveling too bad; the problem now is my snow banks are just about maxed out- not really wanting to knock those down

Glad to help Ed. But if I'm late getting there, it might be best to go ahead and start without me.

Smoke-How's the ankle? Glutes are probably going to hell. Best pump up the guns if the girls are going to hang around.

Yep, the glutes are going to hell. I can't move very fast so the women are swarming and having a field day fondling the glutes, they are covered with welts and hickies.

AKA pustules and rashes. Ya never know what you'll catch from Gym Wenches!

Sounds like the recovery at a minimum is eventless so far. Cool!! "Events" are not a good thing in a medical scenario.

Got fair weather as far as my phone can see. We've had a VERY mild winter here. I've been chasing some major new business; gotta unplug from the chase and get my ass outside.

Tiny Elvis and I got 4 miles snowshoeing; we did the same loop we did Sunday and you couldn't even tell we had been there!

Pustules and rashes?? I think you're hanging out in the wrong "gym!"
