Still going with two heavy sets and two strip sets. I put on 4 pounds over the weekend. With the exception of grilled salmon for dinner Friday night, it was a cheeseburger and Mexican food weekend. Chest and back today.

Wide grip chest press/bent over narrow grip row
Bilateral incline press/bilateral lat pull down
Cable fly/Inverse grip low row.

Legs and shoulders tomorrow.

day off so hit the gym this afternoon

bench 5/3/1+/10 @75/85/95/75% 1 RM
pull-ups 3x11
dips 3x30

Cyn crossed 350 miles today or will tomorrow. Damned if the crazy old bat might just do this.

Gym for me today. Lower body and core, mostly.

3 quick miles on the trails with Tiny E; we're heading for the lake for a couple of days with the grand kiddos

27 mile climb ride.

Did a little hike in a rainforest today. It's a jungle out there.

I missed yesterday, but made it today. Still working on 2 heavy sets followed by two strip sets. I'll finish out the week this way then move to a timed routine next week. Legs and biceps today.

Preacher curl/seated calf raise
BB curl/hack squat
Incline DB curl/leg extension
Hammer curl bar/prone leg curl
Cable rotations

For perspective, here's where Cyn was a couple days ago. She started at the OR/CA border. What a thing to do in your mid 50's! Pretty cool.

I knew it'd happen and it did; this climbing ride sets off inner-quad cramps in my left leg. Only reason I'm mentioning it is I had the weirdest one last night. It was like one single fiber in the muscle cramped. The rest of the thing was trying to go off, but I held it off. But this one "string" went nuts. Sore today. Weird.

Some awesome workouts being recorded guys.

I just did a little 3-mile mountain hike today, with about an 800' gain in the first mile. Had the dog along. Beautiful here in the Cascades:

Cardio in the gym for me today, 30 minutes on the stair machine, 20 on the bike.

27-mile climb ride. 3rd time in 5 days I believe.

3 miles on the trails with the grand kiddos yesterday and then headed home; had to stop for a couple of hours to do some sapphire mining

4 miles on the trails this morning with my wife and Tiny E- overcast AND cool- very nice

I happened upon a You Tube site from Ortovox.com featuring a training program for cross country skiing. Very complete and well done and great workouts requiring little equipment. Variety is the spice of life. I have thus far managed 2 of the routines and am going back for more.

linky? always looking for something to change things up

Duh...can't post a link but you can find it via ortoxox.co/uk/stories.. I found it on You Tube [1/5] ski touring strength and endurance exercises 10 week program [english]

Hope that works.

found it thanks

part 1

Cyn is getting really close to finishing. She sent me this pic this morning, of her bad ankle. Good thing she waited till now or I would've been harping on her to stop hiking. Hope she didn't hork it up good packing for a month on the damn thing. Doesn't look great.

Spent the morning moving dirt and limbing trees to widen part of our driveway loop so I can (hopefully) get the new boat where I want to park it. I go get it in two weeks if the plan holds. Good ol' shovel and wheelbarrow... next is I need to cut (chainsaw) into the side of a big fallen stump but I can't do that until another morning due to fire restrictions. Hoping to ride this evening.

Not the prettiest pic of my wife, lol....
