Well, back’s feeling better and better, and the snow’s not waist deep anymore. I’m going to the yard to see if I can handle the cinder blocks.
Snow’s packed down really well, even though there’s a good 6-8 inches still.
16 one way trips across the yard, 20-25 minutes.
Going to meet up with a couple guys Saturday morning for some pulling.
How much do the farmer’s blocks weigh? looks like two blocks per hand… 16 trips across the yard will pack the snow down so it will last longer…

I weighed on of the blocks once and it was 60lbs, so, about 120lb in each hand. It’s a terrific workout!
One more day of arms and shoulders before I do some pulling again.

Let the outdoor games begin!! 240 lbs!! Nice work DZ. Good to hear the back is feeling better.
DZ is in the yard

That rocks!
Just trying to get caught up a bit, still looking very strong in snowland. Keep us posted on the Alpha Male use, I’m curious if you really feel or see it, or just know that it’s in there working? When my neices started getting older, I told my brother I’d buy him a shotgun.
I think it would’ve been cheaper just to get him some cinder-blocks to carry around…stay warm.
Those cinder blocks are awesome.Carry on my brother.

Fosho.
You need to add a sledge hammer and sled to the outdoor collection. I’ve had a couple great workouts since I added them.
Dave looks like you got strong as hell since I been away!
Great Job!
it snowed last night in the People’s Republic of Utah, so there will be no sled-pulling at lunch time behind the Zion curtain. I am totally going to make some farmer’s handles and dangle cinder blocks from them. 120lbs per hand is serious stuff!
Nice shoulder presses, DZ.
Thanks Guys! Colin, it’s damned good to hear from you. Sorry, I’ve been off line for a few days. Last Saturday, I met with a few guys to do some pulling, takes a long time to get in a workout when you’re lifting with 4 people. Didn’t get in much work before I had to leave.

that is a ton of sets of deads!
great work
Well thanks guys, but I’ve felt the last couple of workouts have been pretty shitty. It was kinda fun working out with a group Saturday, but in an hour and a half I shoulda gotten in at least 18-20 sets.

Man thats some strong lifting! I am thoroughly impressed. How do you like the floor press? Ive never done them. What do they help?
I think they help the start. Youre supposed to let the weight sit on your arms for 3+ seconds to bleed off the stretch affect. I do them, and theyve helped my bench.
The lock out?
