I know it’s not you. Okay I hoped it wasn’t you. That guy needs to eat.
I’ll be interested to see how you make out; and who you’re making out with. Will there be a video for that?
I’m testing my raw maxes on Monday. I’ve only pushed max in gear for quite a while now so I’m not sure where I am raw. Until then, I’m sticking with Ddot’s program. All the unilateral leg work is giving me a big ass Good thing I have my cream.
I make video for a living so I dislike cameras when im not working but I need to fix that.
I should test maxes next week then start the cressey program.
I guess raw for me is if I wear socks or not.
and yes Unilatral work does provide for a bigger ass.
not a bad thing at all
(^_^)/
Lets see today was busy I got to use a ladder, a sawz-all a plaster hawk and knife/trowel and a rototiller , it stopped raining for a bit.
the country YMCA closes at 8 pm
so this is what I did
8 lb hammer tabata
20 seconds on 10 rest
hit a 50 lb sand bag in a burlap bag
then I ran up my driveway
5 sprints
the drive way is over 300ft and steep.
now its raining again, and Im waiting for my ears to stop ringing
thanks for looking

About the competition idea that has been alluded to several times here: not that I have any prejudices or anything, but Masters Nationals in OL is at Lost Battalion Hall next year. If anyone gives you trouble, you could always blame it on me.
This year in the 35-39 age group, 85kg weight class (don’t think you would want to drop to 77kg) the results were:
Sn C&J Tot
1 Chris DOUGHTY 110 125 235
2 Joseph SETH 82 120 202
3 Keith MILLER 85 112 197
You would be pretty competitive.

Nice GPP work kmcnyc! sprints don’t work so well for me anymore.
You would have fun up here in the mountains…
Thanks soldog
I am in the “mountains” we are at 1500ft at the country place…
I know you have real mountains there with you, I was there in 91 at the OTC and this past summer I was there for work in denver,
training at altitude makes me feeble.

AHA!!! so tempting…
I mean who wants to lift heavy shit in a singlet
when you can lift heavy shit over your head in a shiny singlet!
Damn the last thing I need to do is join a third gym.
I just joined a second gym to get to use a squat rack
I need to get out there , to lost battalion hall- I have not a full on snatch in ages,
I could clean and jerk prob 100kg on a good day more if I trained it with regularity.
Snatch-??? probably bodyweight-80kg ish after a month or two.
the real issue is they have hours 2 nights a week, and weekends- my wife would shit.
you people are such enablers
I have convinced her I am not “training” for anything, yet she is waiting for hockey bags of stinky gear to show up.
more food for thought.
thank you Carl

It takes about 6-weeks to get adjusted to the thin air just living here. And another 6-weeks when you actually start doing something more than walking around. Sometimes out on the bike I wonder if after 20 years here I’ll ever be completely adjusted to the air…
I went to colorado springs to train and be a training partner for someone going to 92
we trained from day one, but they did take it easy for the first 3? or so days.
this summer I was in Denver for the DNC-
I got super dehydrated.
I trained , found a gym, worked out at the hotel but recovery was hard.
and yes these"mountains" here are more like bumps…

I dunno - maybe it’s different for different people. I went to Denver for a Brainstorm meeting for a week about 3 years ago. I ran over to the 24 hour fitness there (I scored a free pass) and did my usual training. I was a little light-headed but I was doing near PR squats and PR’d my DL. I’ve lived at sea level my whole life. I think if you force the issue the body’ll adapt quicker.
Apologies for the highjack.
No need to apologizeno need to hijack…
its interesting stuff, people are different
when I went to the OTC we where really training 2x or 3x a day so a few days to aclimatize and we were fine,
this last trip I was working on basically a construction site- turning a bar, a box at an arena and a football field to television studios…
I have allergies maybe its related.

Ya - dehydration is a common issue here. I walk around with a liter bottle of water all day and refill it 3-4 times as well as the couple glasses of water in the morning and more in the evening. Out on the trail mountain biking, I can go through 2 liters in a couple of hours.
Adapting to the elevation at Denver or the Springs is much easier than adapting to the elevation at 9700 ft where I live. That extra 4000 ft of altitude reduces the oxygen content in the air significantly.

Being in top condition to begin with is also a BIG plus. I’m just now getting into basic level of strength and aerobic condition for the first time since High School. Plus smoking for 30 years (light or not) does damage that takes a while to heal after you quit.

Do you ever throw sand bags? I used to do that and stopped because it was too much like work.
I like the idea of fitting a reciprocating saw into the rotation.

Wouldn’t a circular saw give better rotation?

Umm…no…maybe…that one devil and georgetown song and no…
Dude…** bw+90 pullups will take these over a bigger bench any day they felt good = Awesome. What kind of belt do you use? I’m using dumbbells for my weighted pullups and just squeezing them with my thighs. Think I need something a little better.
Actually I used a chain saw, a rototiller and a sawz all
(reciprocating saw) today- I am clearing some new planting area
this week, yes this is what passes for a forced vacation-
no work- so do work.
If I was doing “real” conditioning I would do plenty of
sand bag,tire, or med ball tosses, throw, run to it, do it again.
that kind of thing
as it is I get PLENTY of sand bags- at work making television or film we use sand bags all day- they come in 10lb which is bb shot
and for outdoors we use 25lb ones we use them as ballast, rigging
to put on stands for wind they are a corner stone in the business
you put them on a muscle cart which is a heavy ass handtruck
then you carry them- up stairs etc I do 2 per shoulder its faster.
