I imagine its been discussed before, but have any of you guy's ever just tried to get through a few hours of regular outdoor activities wearing 5 pound wrist weights on each arm and 10 pounds on each ankle. I've found out years ago, at least for me that that works better than anything. It is better than nothing. But there are a lot better options out there.

Maybe it's paranoia, but a gym sounds like a nearly ideal virus vector... careful guys. Maybe stick to outdoor pursuits for a while? I'm gonna stick to both. Gym during the week and carrying a loaded pack on the weekends.

Next thing you know he will be telling her I don’t comprehend well and be trying to cut in. 😀

Not many people can do 10 reps @ 70% 1 rep max on shoulders. Specially at the end of the sets. Sure in bigger muscle groups most can as in deadlifts, bench, squats. You have some strong shoulders for sure. Your OHS must be very impressive. It is my weakness, I wish I had beast mode shoulders.

thanks (not beast mode yet :)); I am still progressing pretty well w/ deadlifts and overhead press, but my squat and bench are stalling- I'm going to finish this cycle with them and then give Wendler's 5 forward/3 back strategy a go, I'm going to keep going as outlined with deadlifts/presses until I stall out with them

I don't know that is impressive to me. I wish I had shoulders like that.
What is your bench and squat routine? Adding board presses to your bench routine may help. But if I were looking for big gains I would be working more closely to your 1 rep max. I would add a light work day as well and use bands on the bar.
Squats are well dam near the hardest to make big moves on or at least for me. But I would work sets around my 1 rep max and adding a light day of sets to failure.

still pretty much following Wedler's 5/3/1 week one is 5/5/5+ 65/75/85%; week two 3/3/3+ 70/80/90%; week three 5/3/1+ 75/85/95%, I've added an additional 10 rep set (70%) to weeks 2&3 just to increase volume a bit; week four is a recovery week 5/5/5 70%
I add pull-ups & dips to my squat/bench day and lunges & chinups to my deadlift/overhead press day
I've bastardized his workout combining squats/bench and deadlifts/overhead presses into two day; two days a week is all can really carve out and thus far has worked pretty well
one big advantage of his workouts is they don't take very long- I'm only in the gym about 45 minutes

Rode a different route, 23+ miles with 2500+ of elevation gain... at its core is a brutal climb up Grimes road (very obscure rough asphalt 1-laner over the coast range) which I've done before but it's been a while.
Looks like I'm getting back some of that taxing work I talked about last year.... "huh"..... mixed feelings.

If you didn't pitch batting practice, it doesn't count.
That's the rule.

That's the rule. I was the only one that swung a bat at that practice. All defense and base running. And no, I was not the one running the bases.
