Four down,locked, and lots to go. Any outdoor training? The weather looks like it has been a bit rough. I like the the picture of the progressive hair. I hope you and the puppy are well.
New log!
Hope all is going well, Brute, and that we cross paths soon. Do come by that October push-pull meet. I’ll either be lifting or helping lifters.
I was taking a look at your previous book… not only are you strong, but also BEAUTIFUL!!
Keep up the good work 
:D!! Thanks Guys!
HKD,Oh yes outdoor training, well…for carries. The field I go to down the street is a perfect for it. Since it’s summer and far too hot I head out at 5am to avoid blistering into ash. Last week I saw a shooting star on one of my stops with the carries! Once it is less of a Mars type environment weather wise I will be out more with my bar, I look forward to crisp fall afternoons and mornings.
SNAP! Thanks! It’d be great to see you! That park is within walking distance to my place too!
Thanks Eressea!

Stupid body builder gym…the back extension stand is broken…oh, yeah and the cheapo ghr they had replaced the other cheapo ghr is broken as well. Has been for months. However, I’ve decided ghr’s are not an ideal exercise for me, knee pain or mashed quads for the sake of some hamstring work isn’t a good trade for me personally.
Do they still have that Pendulum of Death thing you posted awhile back ? That always looked, fun?
That’s a lot of ‘s’.
They do INDEED have that thing, it’s called “The Derek” and no one uses it. IT has a diagram, with a picture of a massive bodybuilder dude grunting, wincing, and squinting displaying how to use it in very short shorts. Its a ridiculous upside down leg curl machine basically. It just stands there --a massive lame piece of equipment.

t bar carries 325# x 540 feet- took forever today, just had a hard time

Awesome logging and lifting BRUTE.
“The Derek”? Really? And now it’s just the ‘800 lbs. Derek in the room’?
I knew a guy named Derek; got me into show business. A horrible agent, but a beautiful man.
Wicked awesome carries.
Thanks Viper!

I see that you do lots of carries. I was thinking of adding some to my workouts. Any particular tip or variation to start with?
Thank you, lady!
Careful. First it’s the carries, and the next thing you know, your doing chin-ups and front squats just trying to keep up. Trust me, it can happen.
Eric- :D!
Hey Eressea! I do love carries! They are very very functional and super straight forward. You don’t need to do much wt at all for it to make a big change in your body- big change. And there are tons of ways to do them. Here’s a few articles to wet your whistle! But for the very most basic, you can just put any dumbbell in your hands and walk! Trap Bar, barbell on your back, barbell over your head, pretty much anything can be used.
Things that changed for the better on my body personally - for sure obliques, butt, traps, lats, forearms. Some carries will add to your abs as in build them on the sides–for me this is not a bad thing, but some ladies have other goals.
Check em out! They are so simple and very effective. I don’t know why more people don’t do them, they seriously make a big change.
