Not much for me the last 2 weeks. Had a knee scoped to get a meniscus cleaned up so legs are out.
Quick workout today: Dynamic effort bench: 9 sets of 3, alternating grips between sets (narrow, normal, wide), w/bands for speed, 30 sec rest between sets Superset, 1 min rest between rounds: DB Incline: 3x10 Lat Pulldown: 3x10
Forgot what a workout without total body and olympic lifts was like. May have to shave my body and oil up.

^ Happy Birthday! I had a pretty good week- 45 miles and 10,000' + of gain; three day sheep hunt in the Cabinet Mtns with a buddy's father-in-law who had a tag. No ram but at that point it was archery only, switches to rifle this week. Didn't get any strength training though, which is typical this time of year.

Well, been working on the cable machine? i guess it's called for a couple months now, 12-15 reps of hands on a bar and pushing down to waist then back to level and back down again, good workout with two 45 lb plates, lat pulldown bar has 140 lbs on it, 12-15 reps there too, 12-15 reps with 35lb dumbell curls seated on bench, 3 to 4 sets on all, 3-3.5 miles on Wifes treadmill maxing out at 3.5 mph at 15% incline, plenty for my old butt and packing a double rifle tracking buffalo in Africa before long, slow and steady as not to tear anything up before then LOL!
Happy and safe training Men!
Trump Won!

Finished the week with 36 miles (about 7000' of gain); 1547 for the year
I've been doing some bodyweight training- pullups/pushups/lunges/air squats/etc; probably won't be back in the gym until after hunting season

I packed two bulls off the mountain last night and today. Feet are hamburger, everything else feels goods. I will get mine butchered tomorrow.
6.5 creed and 140 eldm's were money.

Buddy and I went into the backcountry on September 30th for mule deer. Shot mine on the evening of the 4th after a trip back to the truck to resupply. He shot his on the 7th. Packed up and left on the 8th. Made four trips back to the truck (resupply once, empty; 2x meat only; once to pack up camp and leave).
I took the 9th off. Today, the 10th, I did kettlebell swings, kettlebell presses, and kettlebell rows. And 40 minutes on the stationary bike.
I still have a bear tag to fill.

Decent week- 32 miles (1667 miles for the year) and ~ 6000' of gain; got back to the gym for some lighter strength training- 5 rounds (60 sec rest between rds) of 5 reps @ 70% of 1RM- squats/bench on one day. deadlifts/overhead press the other along w/ 10 reps pullups w/ squats/bench, 10 chin-ups w/ deadlifts/overhead press Pretty sore the next day with both workouts, that's what happens when you skip a month of strength training!!!

After being a gym rat for the last 4 decades doing the “Bro split”, changed things up about 3 years ago. Injuries and age. Never did deadlifts until then. Have had back surgery 17 years ago for a blown disc and blew another about 4 years ago. Started this program which concentrates on big, multi-joint lifts. Deadlifts are a part of it. Started very light at the beginning. Deadlifts have cured my back problems. Am deadlifting close to 400#’s now which I never would have thought possible considering my back pain 3 years ago https://www.t-nation.com/training/lifting-3-days-a-week-is-best/Cardio and calves on Tuesday and Thursday You old bastards need to get on it!
The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

Man, I'm in the same boat. I started focusing more on strength training now that my hunting seasons are winding down. Kettlebell squats and swings, and heavy overhead presses and rows. Just have a fall bear tag, and will probably chase grouse the rest of the year. Looking forward to it.

Pretty good week- 43 miles (1710 for the year); went elk hunting yesterday first I've hunted an opener in 34 years- not sure if I'll hunt another Got two light weight training sessions in mid week. We went from Indian summer to winter, guess no fall this year.

Packed another bull off the mountain last night. Two trips. First one was a rear, front, and neck meat.
Little bit sore today....nothing a beer won't fix. Back to work tomorrow and actually working out. Upper body.

Mtwarden, I believe I covered some of the same cabinet mountain terrain as you this year. I was in for 10 days for a total of 90 ish miles. I was there in early to mid October so didn't see any snow! What an amazing place it is to get a work out in.

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

I've been taking it easy, torn meniscus. Had arthroscopic surgery 3 weeks ago, just got back in the gym, did all the usual lower body stuff with reduced weight on that side and no pain at all. So that's good.
Rode the bike twice, first 10 miles, then 21 on Thursday. 21 was a bit much, I felt it the day after but today it's all good.
A wise man is frequently humbled.
