I forget what Ive done day to day.
Yesterday I did an 8.6 mile 30 lb ruck in the 91 degree heat.
been going to the local beach with my kid and swimming.
turns out the breast stroke doesn’t inflame my shoulders like some others do.
most days I do a variety of push-ups squats and kb work.
I Might not rejoin a gym til fall.
The one I belong too kept charging me two months into covid and would not issue a refund.
Im pretty sure they are not making it out of this anyway.
Fuck them.
They draft you while I was gone? Other than the crawl the breast stroke is the only other move I use. Good for the chest.
Good to see you Harry.
In college I was approached many many times, I think m own reservations kept me out .
Ive been doing 30 lb rucks as gyms are closed and I have minimum equipment here.
Ive een averagine a 5-6 or 7-8 ruck 3 to 4 times a week
100 -150 push ups a day.
and a bunch of band and kb work.
I actually feel good- and look decent - but miss some of the actual lifts themselves.
otherwise still in the bunker mode.
Know what you’re talking about. I look the best I have in a long time, in a lean sort of way, and am probably in my best shape for a long time but still miss the lifting.
Yes that nails it.
I miss the cops at my gym and the lifts themselves whether I’m good at them or not.
This feels good - it’s just not lifting but doing a 30lb ruck of 4-8 miles 3 x a week swimming 2-3x a week and a shit ton of calisthenics I feel lean and spry.
Today it was 81 I did a hard 4 mile ruck
140 pushups a shit ton of band work.
Hey people - gyms are not open in NY lots of people are still not at work , I know the entertainment business will be the last to get back to work. I have not worked in 5 months - I have a few days coming up for one small show well see.
No real “training”
Im still doing the loaded 30lb Rucks- 3-4 days 5, 6, 8 and 10 miles
swimming 3x a week which feels great in the ocean.
other shit- I have to do bw in stupid numbers
typically I do
100 -150 pushups or 100 dips
BW squats 200 plus-
Kettle bell stuff its a 25lb bell
row x oh press in sets of 20-30
sqing in sets of 30-50
TRX I mess with and I use the iron neck two x a week
its amazing for rehab more then 2x a week its a fine line with rehab and over doing it.
NY is still a bit of a mess restaurants are still only doing outdoor seating- and lots of businesses have packed up and wont make it out of this.
Ass fucked as this sounds - falling a few years ago and not working for about the same time - I was prepared this time with more savings.
Swimming in the ocean is great. Totally different from swimming pools and even rivers. How far you going?
It is really different - I enjoy it alot
did lots of pool and lake swimming in college.
beach is a total of 700 feet long- I counted rope chopped into three segments- I counted buoy Its close to 200 feet.
so some days I have done ten full laps -so a 1/4 to 1/2 a mile.
I will admit it took a while to find some kind of efficiency.
Not a great swimmer but it feels good
this feels like a vintage kmcnyc post-
I worked a week - last week.
and did a bunch of cooking
calisthenics etc.
Was fortunate to work a gig - for 7 days- first time I worked since March 13 give or take a day.
My industry is slowly slowly getting back to life - very slowly.
today- 9.5.20
I did a 7,5 mile 30lb ruck
140-150 pushups various
a bunch of band work .
this week I did two other 6-7 mile rucks
swam a 1/2 mile to 3/4 of a mile 3x and a shit ton of pushups.
many many kb swings.
if anyone cares- I do a variety of pushups- vary the tempo the hand width etc.
in the woods today on my ruck - it smelled like fall.
Come back to us.
Im back?
today ai did 100 plus pushups
some band work and a 4 mile ruck with a 60 lb pack.
Past three weeks maybe I am on a Television show-
its like times of old.
bad catering is there long hours too- I got in yesterday at 5 am.
Back in - silly disorganized world of TV
its nice to know I am welcomed at the work place-
but its so different- we dont know if it will get shut down.
glad to be back at work.
My gym like many filed for bankruptcy - they suck and are crooked af
10/17/20.
I lifted weights in a gym.
but they where small.
my gym is closed - its a chain fuck them.
I went to another location.

B db RDL 60 x10 100 4x8
C ab wheel 4x10
I can squat- first time in 6 months?
felt ok not great 315 I got good reps 5 would have been shitty.
cut any other- as its the first day and truth be told
a sweaty gym with people not really doing any kind of cleaning - not really all that safe its small and crowded.
best part - one squat rack not many 45’s at all
but 4 flat benches. two inclines two declines.
I also turned 49.
I think I have typed something like that here for a long long time now.
holy shit .
not squatting for 6 months-
needless to say I was sore.
between home schooling - the little work I am doing
and life- it looks like I am back to two days a week that I can 'train"
I thought I 'backed off enough" to not be sore hahaha.
since then I have one over 100 pushpus and a few hundred kb swings.
I ‘found’ and 8lb pair of dbs in the house - and a doing a shit ton of shoulder junk.
I found some shit on you tube -
single kb work out - uhm I did it it was 50 reps of
swings
pushpus
goblet suat

Realized I typed a bunch of jibberish.

shoulders delt ok.
left elbow took a shit - early on I use elbow/forearm cuffs from Mark Bell - that really help.
you know you are getting old or banged up when you get excited to use little weights.
I know that feeling brother. Still after a long lay of your bench was pretty good. With those and the fly machine let’s see how the pecs feel tomorrow.
They are tender and stiff.
I have been doing a shit ton of pushups- the sore ness does not compare.
is this going to turn into a maybe I can bench log?
