Always enjoy reading your training/mileage posts. I'll make a suggestion on your strength training. I think it's good to train an upper body "pull" on each of those days in approximately the same angular movement pattern as the push. Example - on the upper body squat/bench day add in a row of some sort. On the DL/OH press day add a pullup or lat pulldown.

I've really simplified much of my strength training over the last decade and try to pair push/pull movements together. I think it really helps with joint integrity and muscle/postural balance...which can help with injury prevention. Alternating the push then pull on sets can help save time as well.

Enjoy retirement!

2nd verse, same as the 1st...

I live in the foothills. 6 days a week I hike a 5 mile trail with a 30lb slab of iron on my back and a 10lb rifle in my hands, sans sling. Except when there's ice/crampons or snow/snowshoes, then I sling up.

Back at the trail head if the ground is frozen or dry it's drop and do pushups, then shed the weight and knockout stomach crunches. Otherwise, they can wait until I get back to the shack where I also do pullups.

The objective is always 90 minute hike, ice or snow takes a tad longer. Minimum of 1,000 miles a year.


It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.

thanks smile

On squat/bench day I do three setups of pull-ups and three sets of dips (core as well); deadlift/press day- three sets of lunges and three sets of chin-ups (core too). I've been bumping up my pull/chin-ups slowly the last two months (basically after hunting season) and got my first three sets of 20 pull-ups last week- sets are in-between squats and bench, roughly 7-10 minutes between sets. Probably won't go a ton higher with reps and instead add weight to the pull-ups/chin-ups.

Dang, hope you heal up quick man. I guess they don't call it an "assault treadmill" for nothing!!

Thanks,
The power of two Aspirin is amazing...Not for everyone, but it is the equivalent of the potent narcs...

Four or five days out and it is mostly gone...being able to take a deep breath and hold it is the healing guideline.

I mainly use the Assault because it incorporates more balance than a regular treadmill..Mostly walk fast and a light jog. You start sprinting on it and it has shot more than one off the tread.

got 10 miles in backcountry skiing yesterday- lots of work, but worth it

don't like to encounter this across the trail (there were three slides within a half mile- guessing just a couple of days old)

Weighted pack hiking up an incline. Sit ups and lots of stretching. Finishing concrete at work gives me a good upper body work out haha.

Riding the Eschelon bike daily for an hour for cardio then outside for temperature conditioning (aka freezing my a** off). Been so cold here that my Beagle can only be out on the snow for short periods. With weather into the teens, we’ll be back out on the snowshoes.

@mtwarden - I saw your pic before I read your post. Spooky when you start to see those slides. Glad you haven’t caused any or been involved.

Good to have a thread like this - get some fellas!
