Man this thread is showing some of you guys to be real Ironmen. Some impressive workouts and consistent effort on these pages.

I've just completed my usual spring bulk... I can't say it is calculated it just happens every spring like clockwork. After months of running and aerobic work I just feel like lifting some heavy stuff and the muscle comes back.

Heading out to the trails at lunch. Hope to sneak in a 4 or 5 miler before the weekend starts.

Yep, good stuff to see folks hitting it hard. I think I'm going to switch gears and try the 5/3/1 program for a couple of months. Going to incorporate the olympic lifts but aside from that keep it very basic.

Ran across this and got a few chuckles out of it:

Upper body yesterday. Going out for a hike with the dog & pack today.

Edited to add, it felt good carrying the pack today, something must be working. Course, seeing these the other day helped with the motivational aspect......

Crimeny, you guys 15 or something? I am happy to tie my shoes without a charlie horse....
Damn

Battue is 23 I think. Those pictures he posts are his grandpa, I'm pretty sure.

Did a walk with a light pack yesterday morning, and my "corrective" workout in the afternoon for lower back & abs.

Cardio today if I can breathe around the pollen.

Workout:
"Total"
Back Squat - 1rep max
Strict Press - 1rep max
Deadlift - 1 rep max

We had 15 mins to work up to a max on each lift. I ended up at 365# on squat, 185# on press, and 405# on deadlift for a 955# total. I was hoping for more on the press...

Oh, how I wish.

Anyway at a shoot all weekend. Fun time and they had a never ending supply of ice cream. I tried my best to make them run out. Lost 2 pounds. Go figure.

Quick morning workout at the gym with weights then treadmill during lunch at work.


Nice pics. Keep them coming.

Addition: There were some girls at the shoot that make me wish even more. Emm,Emm, Emm!!!!

Didja get their numbers?

Cardio today mid-day, and a few miles with the pack this evening.

Cheeze. Of course.












They all had a shooter number they were wearing.

Ah, so you no doubt "scored" too eh?
