Hour on the hills with Merlot....

Squat 5x5, leg press 5x5, kb lunges 5x5, 20mins on the stairmaster.

I took a walk in the park with a couple of IPAs, does that count?

Most definitely. That is a scary workout. You could fall and cut an artery. Bonus points for living on the edge. 👍

my vote goes for the stroll in the park with a couple of beers !

Tiny Elvis and I hit the trails for 7 miles- finally went above the single digits- boo-yah!

definitely IPA's!

Well, it is a few thousand acres, with a few hills, and I had a weighted backpack on. Not real heavy just yet, but gotta start somewhere. Hunting season is only eight months away.

IPAs are a great way to add a little weight to the pack. It gets lighter as the day goes on.

I get the picture....Couple days beard growth for effect....climbing rope dangling off the pack....big strides up the rocky slope....then at the top, you breakout and IPA and think, I'm a different breed from those down below. .....



I just saw a Tin Cup commercial, and for some reason thought of you....

It is cold in my garage so I brought the rower into the house. Good thing I am single!

You are a tough act to keep up with....

Now I have to leave the addiction for now. Some gal is texting me about "hygge".....Hmmmmm

Yes, I know that you think of me often. I think of you too, but not in that way. Mostly when I see a guy in the gym wearing short shorts and a wife beater, it reminds me of you.

As far as all that other stuff, you have me confused with "sheriff joe." Except for the IPA part, that's accurate.

Battue I have been working on my breathing with the O2 Trainer. Today I got the great idea to use it while rowing. I thought I was going to die. I dam near puked and felt like I could not catch my breath. I'll try again with a big opening this time. I am really liking the O2 trainer the gains are slow but as of now seem to be steady.

I have a place I want to hike into this spring for bear season. Even with the training it is going to hurt getting a bear out of there.

Wife eater, short shorts, did you read that crap?

Anyway, do they make one of those O2 trainers for those who blow a lot of hot air? I would like to send one to Smoke as a gift.

Wife "beater." Meaning, a sleeveless shirt worn to show off muscles, most often by guys who don't have any.

And I don't need an O2 trainer, I use a cough silencer, it's much cheaper.

For those of you that do squats, do any of you get knee pain on long hikes afterwards? Ever since I started squatting again, I have started to get iliotibial band pain after hiking a few miles. I am trying some home physical therapy exercises hoping I can get rid of it. I'd hate to never be able to squat but if the PT doesn't work, I think I am going to have to stop doing squats.

hmmm- I'll often be good and sore after squatting, but I find hiking after helps alleviate that soreness

I did have a weird pain when I first started back into squatting- it's a small muscle on the upper outside of your quad- no longer remember what it was called, when I searched for it online I found it and a few stretches that help, along with w/ rolling it before; fortunately I haven't had that pain in several months

are you squatting heavy? possibly back off the weight a little and go to higher reps for awhile? maybe hike before squatting? if all fails, give up squatting for awhile until the pain subsides and then maybe very slowly ease back into and see

sucks

You have been watching too many old Paul Newman movies. Wife beaters went out of style years ago.

I wear the wool tossle cap and heavy ripped sweat shirt and pants. Always have a plastic bottle of BCAA close by. Ear buds so the rookies know I’m really serious and don’t appreciate interruptions. Just because you walk around flexing your glutes doesn’t mean the rest of us are so full of ourselves.

We are so lucky here to have people like Mtwarden, who keep the thread on track.

Addition: just had to pee in a cup for work. Whew, just finished up on a clean cycle.
