Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting 2014 Fitness/Workout Thread

Did lower body/core today, have a tweak in my foot ankle that kept me from doing box jumps, hoping it's temporary. Going on a 2-3 day trip this weekend with my son.

Still doing the biking and running. Going to back the strength training down to 2 days a week and add swimming and more hiking. Also more shooting my bow getting ready for MT in Sept chasing elk.

Did a short but ball-busting hike with the pack yesterday evening with about 20 minutes of up/down on a steep but short grade.

Did upper body today. Gonna take it easy tomorrow and hopefully be in the mtns on Saturday.

I just got done playing with a new Everlast timer:

http://www.walmart.com/ip/17747550?...;wl5=pla&wl6=19880599990&veh=sem

It will do one interval and repeat or two different intervals, IE 20 seconds followed by 10 seconds, which is of course a Tabata interval. It can also be set to buzz repeatedly at any fixed interval. It also counts your rounds. When you set it up for one-minute intervals, for a workout like Fight Gone Bad, it buzzes every 30sec, but it only counts rounds on the minute, sort of a half-way warning. Cool product. Mine was $11.99 at the BX.

Thanks for posting it. I've been using a simple countdown timer that I've had for almost 15 years. I mainly use it for rounds when grappling/boxing and use my watch timer when lifting to time the rest periods. The round counter would be nice....

16 mile bike ride yesterday including a bugger of a hill that's about 4 miles long. Kicked my butt after 4 hrs of yardwork.

Taking it easier today so I can jump back into tomorrow.

FWIW, there's a lot of pretty cool and effective timer apps for free to use on a smartphone. Mine even lets me set the music to the round!

Workout:
135# Clean & Jerk 30 reps
5:15

2min rest then 6mins to work up to a 1 rep max Clean & Jerk.
205#. I failed at 215#. Pretty happy considering that's a C&J PR for me and doing so while tired!

Nice job getting a PR after all the high reps.

This week (week 4) is a light/recovery week after the heavy week. Next week will start with a new cycle on 5/3/1.

Cleans...1 min rest between sets
Squats...1 min rest between sets
Hang Snatches...circuit 1
Machine/cable abs...circuit 1
Shrugs...circuit 1...1 min rest between circuit rounds

3.8 mile interval run this morning. Longest since last spring. Left leg pain slowed me more then high heart rate so endurance is picking up but still contending with weak leg from blood clot last year.
Swimming in a few minutes.
