That makes two of us. Quit a few years ago, for almost two years. I just like it too damned much and get solace out of it.
Not ready to stop just yet, as I tend to become a bear…angry bear…for about a week, when I do that. It will be soon, though.

Damn I hate quitting…anything…lol.

Started the conditioning stuff…

Bench: 2 x bar
95
155
195
235
255 x 5
290 x 5
330 x 5
Ok a few things dropped my TM going into this phase. At this point my main goal is conditioning and holding onto a base level of strength.

Ok after bench I did Upper body circuit which I picked up from Paul Carters writing.On a side note I had to do a slight tweak and exchanged OHP for dips since I haven’t done dips for awhile and my shoulders wont allow it at the moment.

PUSH UPs 5,10,15,20,25,15,10,5
Chins: 1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1
Axel Press: 3,6,9,12,15,12,9,6,3
Bent rows(135) 3,6,9,12,15,12,9,6,3

I DAMN NEAR DIED!!!

Did a mile on tread mill for time…

Looks like you’re in for a load of fun.

Treadmills are marginally better than outside. At least you can watch TV and eat pizza while on it…

Just like at a Planet Fitness…lol


Hammer time…

6 rounds .
1 round = 30 seconds each arm

How many pounds is that hammer?

Swung a sledge a few times. Usually a splitting maul. That can be exhausting. Feel it in the back immediately and the shoulders the day after.
More power to you, bro!
Great way to vent some frustration, too…

ironically my great grand father worked for the rail road and was the guy who would swing the hammer when the put in track. Not that its that interesting.

Ugh … tired from landscaping my house over the Holiday. plan on lifting Wendesday getting ready to walk on the tread mill.

Actually, that is interesting. Railroad still amazes me. Those rails have to be x amount apart, with very little wiggle room either way, for the train to stay on the tracks. Considering how much of it was put down, it is amazing that it is so uniform.

My uncles are railroaders. My oldest uncle used to work on engines, in south Georgia. Now he and my other uncle own somewhere around 27 locomotives.
Good living for them, but filthy as hell.

There is a job in which no one should question your manliness.
