NH is a Canadian Province
they have snow and an LLBean outlet.
Hockey is exciting to watch but the gear is soo expensive, I skate on inlines 5 wheel speed skates, and the hockey types usually blast past.
There are parts of NH you can still get by only speaking French. Manchester, NH was called little Canada for a long time. French Canadians and their decendants may be the best people on earth…but I’m biased.
I went to new hampshire 3x
in 2007 and 3x again in 2008 for election junk.
I think I was in Manchester most of the time.
no french speaking hockey playing waitresses
but they did have nice chowder one of the earlier visits I was able to have a lobster roll too.
Lol! You guys are killin’ me…
As a matter of fact MJ, the game (at that level anyways) did stop, and we would watch.
Every now and then you would get a ref who thought he was a hero enter the stands to try and break it up. Skates + concrete= disaster and usually a good ass whoopin’.
I was in NH a few times when I was stationed in New Brunswick… loved it there.
Every fourth year Manchester, NH is the election capital of the US. KMC you were hanging out in the old mill buildings directly across from my old place of employment.
NH is a great place to grow up and raise kids. Not far from the mountains, beach and Boston. And no major natural disasters.
When I did the APA Maine Iron Bash last July, there was one guy who spoke very little English and there were countless people speaking French in the Freeport, ME shopping area.
Hockey tryouts are finally over. Time to get back to normal life. I’ve been boozing every night and staying up way to late. Deadlifts and bench tomorrow night, GPP Saturday and squats on Sunday.
Strong work Eco. I would recommend dong the gm’s first, then the rack pulls. I wouldnt have the guts to put any weight on the bar for gm’s if I’d done rack pulls first. That might just be my preference for doing complete movements before doing partials. I could also be full of shit. Matter of fact, the more I think about it, the more I think its the full of shit thing

Badda Bing! Badda Boom! Your gonna sweat but it will feel good.TRAIN HARD!
Felt good to get back to it after a couple weeks. JT, I worked up a little sweat too.
3/20
A1.(80% max) deadlift 440 10 sets 2 reps
A2. (80% max)bench 325 10 sets 2 reps
Every minute I started a set. So this only took 20 minutes for the working sets. I want to do some GPP work tomorrow, sled dragging and hammer swinging.
That is allot to push/pull in 20 minutes.
I like 10x2 or 10x3
good work, and looks like youll have a busy weekend.

Nothing like a guilty feeling to make one work a little harder. Tomorrow sounds like fun, give’r hell.

I’ll say.
KMC and Dan,the weights started feeling real heavy about the 8th set. I should have started back a little lighter like around 70% for 3 reps.
Stream, tomorrow should be fun. I like how tired I feel after dragging the sled and swinging the hammer.

Awesome lifting. I think you just convinced me to get a second olympic bar for home.
FF, I liked the alternating deadlift-bench workout. By alternating completely different muscle groups I had plenty of recovery between sets. Craigs list always has cheap weight sets. I was given one of my sets by a brother-in-law.
3/21 sled drag for 15 minutes. I misjudged how much (little) time I would have Saturday to workout.
3/22
Box squat to paralel 405 10 sets 2 reps
1 arm db push press 80lb db 10 sets 2 reps (each arm)
Squats were almost completely pain free today. I think the box squats force me to do several correct things:
- arch my low back
- shins are perpendicular to the floor
- keep my chest up
- wider foot placement
Box squats only for awhile for me.
Time to head outside and swing the hammer.
Today is a welcome day off from training. Everything aches. I’m following the ‘keep it simple stupid’ rule of training for awhile. Simple exercises, heavy weight, low reps , several sets.
I’ve never tried alternating exercises when going heavy like that. You said you have plenty of recovery time between sets. How are you recovering on your days off? That’s a lot of work youre doing in a short amount of time
ol
I’m pulling the sled and swinging the hammer some of the off days. Others, like today, I’m just doing nothing.
