I am going to post more. 2018 was a busy and messy year where we moved up the hill and have new diggs. I have been lifting but have dropped back per doctor's orders. It turns out that I have hypertension-not based on diet or condition but its straight genetic. My mother has it and my paternal grandfather had it. I take medication Liprosil and per her orders lift 70% max. I am going to do more H.I.I.T. with cardio at the end.Did chest, arms today. Still coming off of minor pectoral muscle pull but did bench with 135X2(10 reps)/215(2X10 reps)/315(2(8reps)/335(2(5reps)/365(3reps).
Incline Press 135X2(10 reps). 185X2(10 reps). 215(10 reps) Cable Curlsx4 sets. Tricep Jailhouse dips. X4sets

Hit 4X500 m sprints on C2(1:37/1:45/1:49/1:55) broken up with 30 reps of Kettlebell swings with 61lb kettlebell. I take 1:30 break between each exercise.

35 minutes of Elliptical machine at the end.

I have been doing JeffO workout of cutting and splitting wood. I have a 2400 cuft house and 1900 cuft shop running on wood. I have burned and cut 8 cords (4X4X8) so far this winter. The wood hydronic boiler in the shop(Greenwood100) goes through quite a bit of wood.

I have a specific goal this year which I've almost never done before. I was looking at mulie_mikes pics of the aoudad hunters and decided this old man wants to do an aoudad hunt. Now I just need to find a couple other suckers partners to do it with me.

A couple weeks ago a young officer at work asked to workout with me to add some muscle mass so it's going to be lifting with him early and hiit for me later.

Today was:

Lifting - each lift as a superset
Dumbbell press 180 x 5; 130 x 15; 90 x 25
Rest 5 min
Pull-ups weighted +20 x 5; +10 x 10; bw x 15
Rest 5 min
Squats 200 x 5; 175 x 15; 100 x 25
Rest 5 min
Skull Crushers 95 x 5; 75 x 15; 50 x 25
Rest 5 min
Curls 80 x 5; 60 x 15; 40 x 25

HIIT
elliptical 90 seconds mixed with kb swings, then wallball shots, and finally flies; 10 rounds of each

I hope to be in shape for a good backpack hunt this year, last year was kind of a bust. Looks like an AK caribou hunt may come together, that would be ideal. If not that, then elk here in CO. The ankle seems to be much better post-surgery and just about pain-free which is a good sign. Did upper body at the gym yesterday and headed there for some limited lower-body stuff today, whatever I can get done wearing an air cast.

Yep!

8 cords/year is impressive, kaboku. Are you splitting manually or with a splitter? At any rate, take it from someone who's been doing about half that much a year for over 25 years: BE CAREFUL! Some weird stuff happens with big forces (felling, splitting) and wood.


4-mile hike today. Tweaked my knee a bit down south and re-tweaked it crabbing the other day so we stayed on the trail. Frosty up there. Saw the quail again and a couple grouse. Chloe got birdy again.


The CENTER will hold.

8 cords in the last three months. Manually splitting. I have about four cords on reserve and need to get 5 more cords to finish the winter. We moved in the second week of October so its been a hearty weekend activity. The shop uses quite a bit of wood.

That's a lot of wood to split with a maul. Props!

They'll love you at hunting camp <g>. It's one of my chores up there.

Ain't no downside to being able to swing a mighty hammer. smile

The second half of '18 was a chit show as far as working out goes for me. Busy kids, a move, and a lack of a place to do what I was doing. This year will be better.

I've started back up running and when you weigh closer to 300# than most, that sucks. I'm shooting to get in 10mi/week. Hopefully, once I get my feet under me, I'll be increasing that. And I have to get back to doing some strength stuff. Haven't lifted a weight since August...

So for now:
1/1 Ran 2mi
1/2 Ran 2mi
1/3 Ran 1.6mi

4+ mike hike, found a few chanterelles... last hike with my kid before she packs off to another hemisphere (!)... managed to slip crossing a creek like a dumbass and re-re-re-tweaked my knee but it was at the beginning of the hike, and it "walked off", more or less. It's the back of the knee, interior tendon area. It's minor, damn it, but since the knee bone is connected to the hip bone, etc, the whole dang leg ain't right. Aches.

Rain hits tomorrow and it's time to get to work... I have this notion of integrating sessions on the hamster wheel into my workflow out there. The work itself tends to be so engaging and process-oriented that I get sucked in and the day flies by, which is nice, other than the standing still on concrete all day part. 30 minutes of aerobic spinning would be an awesome thing to break up the day with. Gonna try.
