Both my parents had their knees replaced. I figure i may have.to also. Prayers for.a.speedy recovert.

Cleared a small field a couple weeks ago, had a dozer guy out to push out a trail across the upper field woods, I brush hogged the lower sections, wife and I took a walk the other day, 2.5 miles around the track one time with the equivalent of climbing 12 flights of stairs according to some app? on her cell phone, a pretty nice little outdoor track for her [my lazy butt too] here at the farm now.

had time this afternoon so hit the gym

Wendler week four (recovery week)

deadlifts 5/5/5
overhead press 5/5/5
lunges 3x30 yds
chinups 3x12
core

Easy treadmill warmup: 15 minutes

Romanian deadlifts x 6
Lat pull downs x 6
Curls x 6
Standing press x 6
Planks 1minute x 2

we (TE and I) were out the door early again this morning- was greeted to 55 degrees at the trailhead (going to be low 90's again here today!!!)- got a nice 6 mile loop in with about 1500' of climb

Can you guys give me a hand? for example, does 3x12 mean three sets of 12 repetitions?

Yep, that's my take on it - 3 sets of 12 reps each.

Yes Sir

when I list Wendler workouts, you'll often see something like 3/3/3+ the plus means as many reps as possible at that weight

Many Thanks Gentlemen.

Squats x 6

Here that means I start at a weight I can comfortably do 8-10 reps
Then I add weight and do 5-6 reps
Add weight and do 4-5
Add weight and do 3-5
Add and do 2 plus what I can
End up doing 1 rep at close to max

Have found this works best for not ending up overly sore.

Walked 5 miles last nite, I need to get some weights or join a gym to workout more.

Decided to add a Merlot hike....loaded a pack with a flat of 12 gauge and did 2.5miles....85% humidity made it a little warm, light rain was a kinda bonus....

What are you guys using for a water filter for drinking water? I got an old extream xr bottle but it smells moldy now, haven't used it in a while. Would like to get something that is light and filters at a decent speed.

I use a Sawyer squeeze and, until last weekend, haven't had any issues with it. Also threw tablets in my pack as backup.

Gym tonight - squats, bench, BB row, BB curls. Went well considering how stiff and sore I was this morning (for whatever reason). Did some stretching before work and had an adhesive body warmer on my back most of the day.

I use a MSR Trailshot or just tab water- never have used a filter/bottle combo before

Forgot to add that I crossed paths today with a guy in his 20's going up the one hill that many use to do repeats on. Around 200 yards long and an honest 20 degree incline..
He had on a light weighted vest, but in each hand was carrying a cement block that was around 8-9 inches square...Had a hole thru the block, thru which was a thick looped rope and he had one of each dangling from each hand.

We both went up and down twice before I headed back to the vehicle. He seemed to be on cruise control and was having an easy conversation with a girl that was with him....

Ahhhh to be young again

Just got over the worlds worst head cold, which took about 3 weeks. Haven't done anything, and sheep season is a week away.

Oh well, should be fun - it'll just hurt a little more.

What kinda of hiking shoes you guys wearing for training and hunting? I got a pair of tibets I been wearing , seem to work great but might be a half size too small when going down hills. Trying to get ready for my mulie hunt next month.

2.5 miles walk/jog with Merlot.
