One mile run in Michigan? Either they’re fast with the snowplows, or you’re really dedicated.
Cav- we were on the edge of the storm,20 miles north they got 18" and everyone close to the lake just had alot of rain. We have only had about max 6 inches of snow on the ground at one time this year.
BP up to 325 for 1 this was easy could have done 10-15# more. Sick today.
Gm’s 50,50 with bw
Hanging leg raise 20,20,18
Dl up to 385x1 stopped there do to unstable lower back
Sparing with sons 45 min.
Z - presses 135x10,150x10,165x4,185x1,190x1,195x1,200 missed waited 30 sec and then 135x8
dips 3 sets of 15
chins 10 (wind was kickin at 20 temp 24F)
Working out outside is fun once you warm up. TGINS
Sparring with sons? Cool!! How old are they?
You were doing dips and chins in the wind??? That’s ballsy.
Cav - Sons are 15 and 10, 15 yo is getting fast and seems to pick up combinations way to fast. The 10 y/o got his first training sesson last night. With my own kids I never push them,they have to ask for training from judo to boxing to shooting and hunting. It seems to work better that way.
PM w/o squats first time I have felt good squating in a long time , groin pull is almost healed
squats 135x10,205x10,255x10,10 305x10,10 had difficulty finishing the last set. Have a long way to go.
DL’s yesterday with last set was 315 with one lift every thiry seconds for 10 minutes, grip was failing at the end. I think I really need to spend some time with a trainer on my DL. I think my three ruptured discs are preventing me from engaging my posterior change effectively ( or something ).
305 for 2 sets of 10 is really nothing to sneeze at…I could totally understand why you wouldn’t want to engage your posterior chain with 3 ruptured discs?
Matty - Thanks but I have been stagnant for to long; I found a 3 mos program (Twelve weeks to a better Deadlift)and I have to do something I feel like I’m spiinning my wheels and going nowhere.

I know exactly how you feel.
I’m hoping to build up to 2 miles. Do you time your runs?
Brett- I did 2 miles the other day on the treadmill at 6 mph , so 20 minutes. Since stopping my landscaping for the season I have gained 15# now I’m at 250. So I am going to be running 3-4 times a wk and try some portion control. I saw your video, looks like your lighter than last year, squats looked solid. Thanks for stopping by.
AM W/O temp * degrees, kinda chilly so I put on 2 sets of sweats and a hat.
Squats 135,205,255X10 then 305X5 and 355x4,4,4,4
will run 25 minutes tonight.
walked 3 miles
I have a small lawn care business and I think it adds to my conditioning and overall strength. Carrying a 25lbs backpack blower for time through the day and extending to use my weed, branch trimming, and edging implements works the core, shoulders, and arms. What do you think? I say I do light training all day then come home and lift heavy.
Gorilla- I agree it is good for the core, it carries over to alot of lifts. Also I think those activities lend a lot to functional flexability. Keep on keeping on gorilla. Thanks for stopping by. Mike
