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

Not sure I would put much faith in my words. It's been over a year and I'm still not completely fixed.

Anyway, going to out to shoot some shotgun.

Heal up, damit!!!!

Thanks Harry. Looks like it's not serious, just a strain. Kind of set off a red flag with me when I felt the pop, but it feels better already.

You're gonna be just fine. I'll email Mark and tell him to start training with 200 pound packs.

Tell him to eat his Wheaties. He never friggin' eats his Wheaties.

Did a sprint triathlon this morning. Didn't stick around for the results, I'll wait until they're online. Did pretty good until the run. Left leg tightened up and made any kind of pace difficult. Finally loosened up with about a mile to go so I could look good crossing the finish

Congrats! Was it your first tri? I did enjoy them the few times I did them. IMO, a fun group of folks doing them. That said, when I went to pick up my packet for my first race, the lady at the table said, "Sir, volunteers sign in over there."...

Thanks.
I did this same one 3 years ago. Work prevented me from doing anything in 2012, health issues in 2013. This was one of my goals for this year. Results were posted late last night. I was over 16 minutes slower than last time but close to where I expected to finish based on my training times.
Next goal - kill a bull in MT in Sept. Time to switch up the training a little bit. That'll start tomorrow...

Great! Good luck in training and MT!

Yup, good luck. I did a "triathlon" yesterday too. Walked the dog down to the lake, he swam about a half mile, then mowed the grass. Then drank beer. It was grueling, but I'm going back for more today, although only one event.

Fly fishing.

Drinkin' beer? You may want to cross train with some good eats too.

Forgot to post mine for Thurs and Fri last week but they followed basic pattern as the previous weeks...

MMA today. Lots of grappling (iron man rounds) with a few rounds of standup at the end. I'm tired...really tired.

Take care of that leg smokepole.

That's what we call a duathlon.

Squats
Hang Snatches/1-legged squats/machine abs - circuit

2 mile run this morning - knocked another 20s off my pace. Running farther, walking less.
2 miles with 45# pack tonight climbing some hills.
40min shooting bow.

Been taking it easy, just a couple of two-mile walks with only a light pack. Leg is still sore, but seems fine.

Battue, I got "the stick" and am using it, a baseball, and a softball to roll the calf muscle, piriformis, and TFL because the trainer said those last two were tight. Also doing calf stretches and a "posterior Bretzel" to stretch the hips.

Posterior brazier? Nice....

The stick will work off the tight sports. Use it on a relaxed muscle and keep it off of hard bones.

Brettzel. Brazier is a burger at DQ:

Here is another that will work out the kinks. This one can go medieval until you get used to it.
